During the free 30-day trial period your website is available online through a Bandzoogle website address in this format: projectname.bandzoogle.com. If you reach the end of your trial period and you’re not ready to upgrade, you can come back later. The website content will stay intact, but offline, for 3 years. You can upgrade your account to a paid plan at any time during the free trial.
Notes:
- You can see your free trial address by clicking the ‘View Site’ button in the top right corner of the ‘Edit Content’ or ‘Edit Theme’ tab.
- Once you upgrade from the free trial to a paid plan, you lose any time left in the trial period but you gain all those great membership perks!

“Is my website published?”
- During the free trial period, your website is available online through your projectname.bandzoogle.com trial address and can only be viewed by entering the unique password.
- When you upgrade to a Bandzoogle membership, your site’s pages will be visible online and through search engines unless you manually unpublish them. Each paid plan allows you to register a custom domain for free, to replace the trial website address.
Next Step: Domain Registration
Once your payment has been processed, you can register a custom domain name for your website through the ‘Account Details’ tab, or setup a domain you already own. Advanced domain records (TXT, MX, CNAME, SRV) can be added and removed through the domain management page, or by contacting our support team.
