How do I keep my wedding website up forever?
Want to keep your wedding website live as a lasting memory? You can extend your hosting for years at a time so your site stays online for as long as you'd like.
Short answer: Go to Settings > Hosting, choose the 12-month option, and increase the quantity at checkout. You can extend up to 10 years in a single purchase.
Extending for the long term
At checkout, you can adjust the quantity to add multiple years of hosting at once. Here are some examples:
- 2 years = 2x 12 months at $120
- 5 years = 5x 12 months at $300
- 10 years = 10x 12 months at $600
The 12-month option costs $5/mo, which is 50% less than the monthly option. If you're planning to keep your site up for 6 months or more, the yearly option is the better deal.
Why keep your site live?
Many couples choose to keep their wedding website going long after the big day. Here are a few reasons:
- Memories. Your wedding website is a keepsake that captures your story, photos, and all the details from your celebration.
- Guest access. Friends and family can revisit your site to look back at your wedding details, photos, and messages.
- Guestbook. If you have a guestbook, guests can continue to leave messages and well-wishes.
- Planning data. Your guest list, RSVP responses, budget, and vendor information stay accessible whenever you need them.
How it works
- Go to Settings > Hosting
- Choose the 12 months option
- At checkout, adjust the quantity to the number of years you'd like (up to 10)
- Complete payment
The time is added onto your current hosting period. You can always come back and extend again later if you want even more time.
Tips
- You don't need to wait until your hosting is about to expire. You can extend at any time and the new months get added to the end of your current period.
- If you're not sure how long you want to keep your site up, start with a year or two. You can always add more later.
- The 12-month option saves 50% compared to paying monthly, so it's always the better deal for longer extensions.
