URL stability for domains
-
Hi, I’m considering upgrading my plan to include a domain name and want to be sure that if I upgrade that all of my prior posts will be accessible through the previous url and with the new domain name and presumably upgraded link urls for the posts? And if I stopped using a paid plan after this one expires, will the posts from the subscription period remain accessible? So like the posts would go from the domain address url to switchiton.game.blog upon the non renewal? Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi!
Generally all your posts will still be available – what happens when you add a custom domain as the “primary” address is that any visitor who types in/clicks on a URL which formerly led to a
http://switchiton.game.blogblog post will find themselves in the same place, but they will see your custom domain instead. So for examplehttps://switchitongaming.com/upcoming-releases/would becomehttps://yourchosendomain.com/upcoming-releases/and that is what people would see.If your plan and domain are not renewed and are eventually removed, your site would go back to using
http://switchiton.game.blogas the address once more, including any posts or pages you publish while the domain name is active. I should note however: if the domain is removed, external links would stop redirecting from your custom domain tohttp://switchiton.game.blog. That’s generally something to bear in mind if you do wish to stop using the custom domain – we generally suggest allowing for a transition period where visitors can get to know thehttp://switchiton.game.blogaddress once more.There’s some general information about domains here, in case of need:
