A website reactivation involves restoring an expired or canceled website through a simple login and resubscription process. Here's the complete guide to get your site back online.

Trial Website Options

• Extend trial for 7 days without payment
• Migrate to active billing immediately

Pre-Reactivation Considerations

• You'll need to select a new billing plan
• Previous plans may no longer be available
• Premium features might need removal depending on your new plan
• Content recovery is possible if deletion wasn't permanent

Recovery Process

1. Login Steps:

• Visit your website URL
• Click "Owner Login" at the expired website message
• Enter your credentials

2. Update Payment (if needed):

• Add new payment method
• Save changes before proceeding

3. Select Plan and Reactivate:

• Click "Fix now" banner
• Choose current billing plan
• Review order summary
• Update payment if needed
• Confirm subscription

Post-Reactivation Notes

• Content restoration may take several hours
• Website appearance should match pre-expiration state
• Permanently deleted content cannot be recovered
• Digital product subscriptions remain suspended for 30 days

Troubleshooting Tips

• Verify correct site login for accurate content display
• Check custom domain settings if site loads on .squarespace.com but not custom URL
• Validate Squarespace domains if expired
• Reactivate domains separately from website subscription

Important Reminders

• New subscription starts on reactivation day
• Previous plans cannot be restored
• Contact support for content recovery assistance
• Regular domain validation prevents access issues
• Keep payment methods current to avoid future expiration

The reactivation process typically completes within 24 hours, with most sites restored to full functionality immediately after subscription renewal.
