Can I Host My Weebly Site Somewhere Else?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 3:56 pm

You can absolutely host your Weebly site somewhere else! In fact, many Weebly users choose to do just that. There are a few different reasons why you might want to host your Weebly site elsewhere:

1. Maybe you’re not happy with Weebly’s hosting services. Or maybe you’re just looking for a change.

Whatever the reason, you can definitely host your Weebly site elsewhere.

2. You might want to take advantage of another company’s hosting services. For example, you might want to use SiteGround’s hosting services because they’re known for being fast and reliable.

3. You might want to use a different domain name registrar. Maybe you’re not happy with GoDaddy’s services, or maybe you just want to use a different registrar.

Either way, you can still use Weebly to build your site and then host it elsewhere.

There are a few things to keep in mind if you decide to host your Weebly site elsewhere:

PRO TIP: Please be advised that Weebly does not allow its users to host their Weebly site on another server. This is because Weebly offers users a free subdomain and hosting service, which means that your Weebly site is hosted on Weebly’s own servers. If you attempt to host your Weebly site elsewhere, your site may be subject to suspension or deletion by Weebly.

1. You will need to point your domain name to the new hosting provider. This is usually done by changing the DNS settings at your domain name registrar.

Note: If you purchased your domain name through Weebly, then you will need to contact Weebly support to change the DNS settings.

2. You will need to export your Weebly site and then import it into the new host. Most hosts have a way to import Weebly sites, so this shouldn’t be too difficult.

Note: Your Weebly site will retain its existing URL (www.example.com) even after you export and import it into the new host.

Note: If you have a Pro or Business plan, then you can use the “Domain Mapping” feature to map your Weebly site to a new custom domain name (www.com). This is a much simpler process than exporting and importing.3.

You will need to update your nameservers at your domain registrar. This is usually done by logging into your account at the registrar and changing the nameservers to the ones provided by your new host.

You will need to republish your Weebly site from the new host. Once everything is set up, simply log in and republish your site from the new host.
