  I am using a free wordpress for 12 years already. I am planning to convert my free wordpress to a with domain account. Once I have decided not to continue my domain, will I still be able to use my free wordpress blog site?

  Hi @batchism,

  If you decide to no longer continue with the paid upgrades, your account will be downgraded back to the free plan.

  Hi there!

  As @austinsangs mentioned already, your site would be back on the free plan. Your content would be untouched, but you will lose all the features of the paid plan.

  For example, if you downgrade from Premium to Free, you will lose all the custom CSS, premium themes, possibility to upload videos, etc.

  With a Business plan it’s a bit more complicated because as soon as you install a plugin or a third-party theme, your site would go through a series of structural changes. Downgrading from that can result in content loss, but we would help you to create a backup before doing that.

  Let me know if you have any more questions regarding that.
