Frequently asked questions
Everything about how PagePlug works — pricing, hosting, domains, and support.
Getting started
›What is PagePlug?
PagePlug is an AI website builder that builds and hosts a professional one-page website for you. Answer a few questions, we generate your site, and we handle everything technical — hosting, domain setup, SSL, and security. You just pick the name.
›How does it work?
Answer a few quick questions about the business and our AI generates your one-page website — your first one is free to build and preview. When you’re ready to go live, publish it with a one-time $100 deploy fee (your first three months of hosting included). After that, hosting is $10/month.
›Do I need to know how to code or use design software?
No. There’s no code, no drag-and-drop editor, and nothing to install. If you can answer a few questions about a business, you can launch a website.
›Can I build a website from my phone?
Yes. PagePlug works entirely from your phone — you can build a complete website in under 5 minutes using just the information you have or can find about a business online.
›What information do I need to build a site?
Just the basics: the business name, what it does, contact details, and any logo or photos you’d like on the site. You can upload your own images and we’ll place them for you.
Pricing & billing
›How much does it cost?
Your first website is free to build and preview. Publishing it live costs a one-time $100 deploy fee, which includes your first three months of hosting. After that, hosting is $10/month, covering your domain connection, SSL certificate, secure hosting, and editing once you’re live. A business owner who pays for their site’s hosting from their own login can pay $120/year instead. Building more sites comes with the Creator plan — 20 builds a month for $20.
›Can I buy more website builds without a subscription?
Yes. Build packs are available to every account right where you build: 5 for $15, 15 for $36, 40 for $80. Pack builds never expire, and a failed build always refunds itself. If you build often, the Creator plan is the better fit — 20 fresh builds every month plus editing and your own portfolio site; that monthly count refreshes each billing cycle rather than carrying over.
›What does the $10/month hosting fee cover?
Everything needed to keep your site live: managed hosting, your domain connection, SSL (the padlock in the browser), security, our uptime backup system, and editing your site — swap wording, photos, services, reviews and colours whenever you like.
›Do I have to publish my site right away?
No. You can build your site free and deploy it whenever you’re ready.
›What if I don't like the site that gets generated?
Your free first website shows you the whole page before you spend anything. If you want another take, the Creator plan includes 20 builds a month, so you can rebuild until it’s exactly right.
›Can I get a refund?
The deploy fee pays for publishing work that happens immediately, so once a site has been deployed that fee is non-refundable. You can cancel your hosting at any time to stop future charges. The full policy is at /refunds.
›Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, you can cancel any time, from your hosting page, or from your website’s dashboard if you pay for its hosting from your own login. Your site stays live until the end of your current billing period; after that it’s taken offline. You can re-subscribe later to bring it back.
Domains, hosting & security
›Where will my website live?
Every published site gets a free PagePlug address (yourbusiness.pageplug.ai), or you can connect your own custom domain.
›Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. Connect it from your site’s dashboard — we give you a couple of small records to paste where you bought your domain, and we handle the rest: configuration, SSL, and hosting. No technical knowledge required.
›My registrar says “a record already exists” — what do I do?
Delete the old record sitting on that exact name first, then add ours. Registrars park placeholder records on new domains (they only point at a parking page, so removing them is safe). One more gotcha: the two TXT records we give you belong on their longer underscore names — never on www itself.
›I can't find the “Name” or “Host” box at my registrar.
Different dashboards call it different things — “Refers to”, “Alias”, or “Host name”. It’s the same box: enter the short name we show you (like www). Your site’s manage page even relabels the records to match your registrar once it knows where your domain lives.
›What happens if there's a problem with my domain?
Your PagePlug address (yourbusiness.pageplug.ai) always acts as a backup. If anything goes wrong with your custom domain, your website stays reachable — it never goes down. That includes the domain itself expiring at your registrar: your site keeps serving at its PagePlug address, and we email you so you can renew it.
›Is my website secure?
Yes. Every site is deployed on our managed, security-hardened infrastructure with SSL included. Unlike DIY or self-coded sites, you never have to think about security patches, certificates, or server maintenance.
›Do I own my content?
Yes. You own the business information and images you provide. We host and serve them as your published website.
The Creator program
›What is the Creator plan?
Creator is for people who build sites all the time — freelancers, agencies, and side hustlers. For $20/month you get 20 website builds every month, editing across everything you build, and more.
›Do unused builds roll over?
No. Your 20 builds reset at the start of each monthly billing cycle.
›Does the Creator plan include deployment?
Building and deploying are separate. Each site you publish has its own one-time $100 deploy fee, with the first three months of hosting included. After that, hosting is $10/month or $120/year, and on a site you built for a client, the client pays it from their own login.
›Can I sell websites I build to clients?
Absolutely — that’s what Creator is built for. Build a site for a business owner in minutes, sell it for a few hundred dollars, and still keep a great margin. You don’t need to charge $1,000 to make money selling websites.
›How do I handle hosting for client sites?
Hosting for a client’s site is the client’s to pay, not yours. Once the site is live, send them their login from Hand off to the business owner on its Manage page. The first time they sign in, they set up the hosting on their own card, $10 a month or $120 a year, before anything else opens. You pay the one-time deploy fee when you publish, and what you charge your client for the site is up to you.
Editing & support
›Can I change my website after it's built?
Single-site builds include one free regeneration. Once your site is live, editing is included with your hosting — swap photos, contact info, and wording anytime, with a monthly allowance of AI rewrites. For anything else, contact support and we’ll help.
›Can I build a multi-page website?
PagePlug specializes in fast, professional one-page websites — everything a small business needs on a single page that’s easy for customers to use.
›How do I contact support?
Open the support page and tell us what happened. You get a ticket number, you can attach a screenshot, and we reply by email. You can also write to support@pageplug.ai if that is easier.
›How do I report a website that violates your policies?
Report it on the support page under “Report a website”, which needs no account, or write to support@pageplug.ai. Sites must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy.
