Weebly > Advanced > Upgrade to Paid Website
Weebly services are purchased on a per website basis not an account basis. For clarity, what I mean here is if you sign up for a "Starter" package or a "Pro" package, that only applies to one website in your account and if you want those same services on another website you would need to sign up for that service again with another website selected.
Here's another look at it -- You have an account with Weebly. That account is tied most directly to your user name and password. Within that account you have websites. The purchasing of services applies to websites individually. There is nothing you can buy that applies to all websites in your account.
The most common reason for a newbie to upgrade from a free account to a paid account is :

The most common reason for a newbie to upgrade from a free account to a paid account is :
- To be able to see website traffic details that are hidden for free accounts
- To use your private/personal domain name with your weebly website instead of the subdomain name -- weebly is loosing the advertising they were getting when you had the weebly sub domain and you are getting a more personalized look, thus the fee.
- To use advanced features related to embedding video content or eCommerce.
These were instructions I sent out to someone who was upgrading from free to the lowest paid version to get traffic statistics:
Weebly services are purchased on a per website basis not an account basis, so you always need to make sure you have the correct website selected before starting the purchase process.
- Log int to your weebly account
- Be sure the website you want to pay for is selected on the left...
- On the right, next to the edit button is an "upgrade" button. click that
- The list of options will be on the left. Go to the bottom and click on "starter". It is $8/mo for 1 year and $5/mo for two year -- so $96 or $120.. I'd suggest the $120 but either works. you do in fact get a free domain name with this, but I would ignore that... domain names cost $14 per year and you only get 1 years worth and if you are going to start reserving domain names, I'd do it via godaddy.com for various reasons.
- Once you are done paying, look at your traffic and you'll be able to see a list of the sites your traffic is coming from... and we'll have more info then.
