I built my website on Weebly back in 2012 for free and have never had to or needed to upgrade because all the features I used were free then and have been for 6 years... well, today, I was editing my site and went to publish it and it said, I couldn't because my site was using features that weren't on my free plan... and what was this feature? Well, it was because I have my own domain which I paid for from GoDaddy and I've had it all this time and never had any problems, but NOW, they say I have to upgrade to a paid plan unless I want to become a "sub" domain with their Weebly name in the url... In other words, it's just their way of fixing things so that I'm forced to pay if I want to stay with them, even though I haven't changed anything or done anything different than I have been doing for the 6 years I've been with them. I wasn't trying to use "new" features or anything... didn't need them... but I have to upgrade to a paid plan if I want to use my own domain... even though that wasn't how it was when I built my site and hasn't been how it's been for 6 years, but now they want to milk money out of me! To beat all, for the 6 years they've been hosting my site, they've had their "Get a Free Website by Weebly" motto at the bottom of every page of my site... I never minded it because I thought it was true, as I had mine and was very pleased, but they DO keep changing things on you and they will change them until you have to pay if you want to continue to play, so to speak. I no longer recommend Weebly to anyone. In fact, I warn everyone, BEWARE! If someone will change the rules on people that have been with them for years, they will do it to anyone! They even had the nerve to tell me that if I didn't upgrade to a paid plan, I wouldn't be able to call and speak to anyone for customer service help... LOL... That's like me telling potential or current customers that I can't help them unless they buy something... That's great customer service!
