Steps to reactivate an expired or canceled website:

  1. Log in to your expired site:
  • Visit your site's URL
  • Click "Owner login" on the "Website expired" message
  • Enter your login credentials
  1. Update payment method (if needed):
  • If site expired due to outdated payment info
  • Add new payment details
  • Save changes before proceeding
  1. Select a billing plan:
  • Click "Fix now" banner at bottom of site
  • Choose from current available plans
  • Note: Original legacy plans may not be available
  1. Complete purchase:
  • Review order summary
  • Confirm payment method
  • Click "Confirm and purchase"

Important Notes:

Trial Sites:

  • Can upgrade to active billing
  • Or extend trial for 7 days without payment

Content Recovery:

  • Site content may take up to few hours to restore
  • Permanently deleted content cannot be recovered
  • Contact support if content needs restoration

Additional Considerations:

  • Customer subscriptions need manual restart
  • Digital product subscriptions enter 30-day pause
  • Custom domains may need separate reactivation
  • Squarespace Domains may require verification

After Reactivation:

  • Content typically appears as last saved
  • New billing cycle starts on reactivation day
  • May need to disable Premium features depending on new plan
  • Recovery time varies based on cancellation duration

If Issues Persist:

  • Verify correct site login
  • Check domain settings
  • Ensure payment method is valid
  • Contact support for content recovery assistance

Tips:

  • Keep payment information updated
  • Back up important content regularly
  • Monitor subscription status
  • Check domain expiration dates separately
