The Archive plan — pause a site at low cost

What the Archive plan does, when to use it, what it preserves and what it blocks, and how to restore a site from Archive.

1

What the Archive plan is

Archive is a low-cost holding plan for a website you want to keep but are not actively working on. At $15/year (≈ $1.25/month), it is far cheaper than keeping a site on Basic or Starter when you do not need AI or active editing.

Think of Archive as "parking mode" — your site stays published and accessible to visitors, your domain stays connected, but all AI features are disabled until you restore.

When to use Archive

Archive is useful when:

A project is complete and stable — the site is built, published, and you just need to keep it live without changes
A client site is on maintenance mode — built and handed over, not expecting edits soon
You have multiple sites and some are seasonal — archive the off-season ones, restore when needed
You want to reduce your monthly cost while keeping the website and domain live
A business is on temporary pause but you want to preserve the domain and site for when you return

What Archive preserves

When a site is archived:

Your published website stays live — visitors can still reach it at your domain and subdomain
Your custom domain stays connected — DNS does not change
Your domain registration is unaffected — renewal still happens normally
All your site content, pages, and sections are preserved in Firestore
Your form submissions and orders remain accessible in the dashboard
Your blog posts remain live on the site

Nothing is deleted. Archive is non-destructive.

What Archive blocks

Archive disables all AI features:

No AI section generation
No AI regeneration or redesign
No AI blog writing
No AI content scan (which means you also cannot republish)
No new site creation (while archived)

You can still open the builder and see your site, but you cannot save new drafts or push updates.

In short: The site is frozen at its last published state. Visitors see it; you cannot change it without restoring.

How to switch a site to Archive

Currently, switching a site to Archive is done through the Pricing page. The Archive plan appears as an option on the plan selection page.

Note: Archive is a per-account plan, not per-site. Switching to Archive affects all sites on your account. If you need to archive one site but keep others active, open a support ticket — the team can assist with multi-site scenarios.

How to restore from Archive

To resume active use of your site:

1Go to Account & Plan in the dashboard
2Click Upgrade plan
3Select any active plan (Free, Basic, Starter, or Pro)
4Complete the checkout

Your plan updates immediately. AI features are restored, you can open the builder and make edits, and you can republish — right where you left off. No content was lost during Archive.
