Can I cancel my Webflow subscription after building and launching a website with a custom domain, and still have the website remain live and unaffected? And if I choose to renew my subscription later, will the website I previously built still be available for editing in my account?
Yes, you can cancel your Webflow subscription after building and launching a website with a custom domain, and your website will remain live and unaffected. Webflow does not remove or alter your website's content or functionality if you cancel your subscription.
However, there are some limitations to keep in mind:
Hosting and CMS limits: When your subscription expires, your website will still be hosted with Webflow, but you may encounter limitations. Free accounts have certain hosting and CMS item limits, so if you exceed them, you may need to remove or archive some content.
Editor access and updates: After canceling your subscription, you will not have access to the Webflow Editor, which means you won't be able to make changes or updates through the web-based interface. Therefore, any updates or modifications you want to make will need to be done by reactivating your subscription.
Backup and export: It is always a good practice to regularly backup your website's code and data. Before canceling your subscription, make sure to export your website so that you have a copy of your site's code and content in case you need to move it to another hosting provider or make changes offline.
If you choose to renew your Webflow subscription later, you can regain access to your website and continue editing it in your account. Once your subscription is active again, you will have full access to your project and can make updates using the Webflow Designer and Editor.
Remember to consider any discounts or offers available at the time of renewal, as well as any changes in pricing or features that may have occurred since you canceled your subscription.
Overall, canceling your Webflow subscription will not impact the live status of your website, but it will limit your ability to edit and update the site using Webflow's tools until you reactivate your subscription.
