  Hi there!

  You can launch your site without the need to upgrade. When you’re prompted to choose a domain, look for the free subdomain option and Skip purchase.

  If for some reason you do not see a button to continue as free when choosing a plan, check if you do not have any AdBlock enabled on your browser.

  Got it! Thank you for the tip! I think there was also a desktop glitch because I had to keep fighting the computer, so I eventually tried it on my phone and got it.
