Can I Host a Weebly Site on My Own Server?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 6:09 pm

You can absolutely host your Weebly site on your own server! In fact, Weebly makes it easy to do so. You can either use our hosting services or transfer your site to another host.

To transfer your site, simply go to Settings > Site Address and enter the new address for your site. Weebly will automatically generate a file for you to download. Once you have that file, you can upload it to your new host and your site will be live at the new address!

PRO TIP: Weebly has announced that they will no longer allow users to host their Weebly sites on their own servers. This change will take effect on September 1, 2016. After that date, users who try to host their Weebly site on their own server will see a warning message telling them that they need to move their site to a Weebly-approved hosting provider.

There are a few things to keep in mind when transferring your Weebly site to another host. First, you will need to update your DNS settings. This is typically done through your domain registrar (where you purchased your domain name). You will need to add an A record that points to the IP address of your new server.

Second, make sure that you upload the file that Weebly generated for you into the public_html directory on your server. Finally, if you are using our Pro plan or higher, you will need to update your SSL certificate. You can find instructions for doing so here. If you have any questions about transferring your Weebly site to another host, our support team would be happy to help!
