After my upgrade expired

If I upgrade I get a free 1 year domain, cool right?
after my upgrade expire and my website is already connected to the domain, do I need to pay for the upgrade and for the domain in order to hide editor x brand or what will happen?

thanks for any help and info.

When you upgrade, you begin paying for a Premium plan. That plan is a subscription – when it expires, you’ll be charged for another period (typically a year, although the length of the period is up to you).

Domain registration is also for a time period (again, typically a year, but you can choose a different period). When your initial (free) period expires, you’ll be charged the regular price to renew for another period.

thanks for the replay.
I know this process, but my point is, when my subscription expires, will my assigned domain be unassigned if I didn’t pay? does that mean editor x will appear again on my website’s top?

OK, is this what you’re asking?

If your premium subscription lapses you will revert to a free plan. This means:

  1. Your site will no longer be connected to a domain

  2. The Editor X banner will re-appear

If your domain registration hasn’t lapsed (it is independent of your premium plan) you will still own the domain, but it will now be unassigned.

@barea-ab hello
yes, this is correct, once Premium Subscription will expire, the site will receive:
a free Editor X domain, Editor X branding on top and will lose Premium features like domain connection.
If the domain won’t expire, you will be able to connect it back to the site with a new Premium Subscription.
