# Host-only Plan

> Keep your published websites online at a lower cost when you no longer need a full building plan

Host-only is a lower-cost option for keeping published websites online when you no longer need a full building subscription. It is designed for websites that are already live and only need light maintenance.

## What Host-only is for

Host-only is a good fit if you:

* want to keep one or more published websites online
* only make small updates from time to time
* do not need the full set of building, export, or advanced collaboration tools in a regular subscription

## What you still get

With Host-only, you can continue using the parts of Readdy you need to keep a live website running, including:

* published website hosting
* custom domain and Readdy subdomain publishing
* 250 credits per month
* 10 projects
* 1GB file storage per project
* 1000 form submissions per month
* core site-running features such as Backend, Booking, and Social Media
* access to your existing projects for ongoing maintenance

Host-only is a lighter plan, so some advanced creation, developer, and agency features are not included.

## How pricing works

* Host-only starts at `$10/month`
* `1` Host-only subscription includes `1` published website
* If you keep more than `1` published website live, additional published websites are charged separately at `$10/site/month`
* Your actual next-cycle charge is based on how many websites are still published when Host-only starts

## What happens after you confirm

After you confirm the switch:

* your current subscription stays active until the current billing cycle ends
* Host-only is scheduled for the next billing cycle
* the final number of Host-only charges is calculated from the websites that are still published when the new cycle starts
* you may see a pending change reminder on the Subscription page before the switch takes effect

## Can you still edit projects on Host-only?

Yes, but editing still uses account credits.

This means:

* you can still make light updates with `250` credits per month
* if your available credits are too low for a generation, credit-based actions are blocked until you upgrade

Host-only is meant for maintenance, not for heavy building work.

## How to upgrade from Host-only to a regular subscription

You can upgrade from Host-only at any time from the **Subscription** page.

When you upgrade:

* the upgrade takes effect immediately
* Host-only stops once the new subscription starts
* if your current Host-only cycle still has remaining value, that value can be applied toward the new subscription based on Readdy's upgrade rules

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does Host-only start right away?">
    No. When you switch from a regular subscription to Host-only, the change takes effect at the start of your next billing cycle.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is the price shown in the cancel flow final?">
    No. It is an estimate. The final charge is based on how many websites are still published when Host-only begins.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why can my renewal bill be different from the estimate?">
    The estimate is based on your current published website count when you see the Host-only offer. If you publish or unpublish websites before the switch date, the final Host-only charge can change. If your current plan also has usage that is billed at renewal, that amount may appear on the same bill.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use Host-only if I have no published website?">
    No. Host-only is only shown to users who already have at least one published website.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I still create a new project on Host-only?">
    Yes, but any generation or editing action still uses your account credits.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I get a refund if I unpublish a site after Host-only starts?">
    No. Unpublishing a site changes future billing, but it does not refund the current Host-only cycle.
