  Hi @anahataeducationcenter, you can redirect a domain to our services for free. I’d recommend a regular redirect rather than a framed/ghost/stealth redirect though, as all of those make linking and SEO more difficult. Basically people should be able to see your free (real) address of your site after typing your custom address.

  If you’d like to actually map the domain so that our server recognizes it as the primary domain for the site, we do required a paid plan.

  Paid plans help cover our costs for infrastructure and staffing. Paid remove ads, allow you to use a custom domain, and provide access to direct support. Plus they have several other handy features, depending on the plan you choose. You can compare all plans here:
