REMEMBER!
- Do NOT buy a Website domain name at the beginning! If you like your site and want to invest in the domain name, you can do that later.
- Your Weebly Website address will have weebly.com in it. For example, Ms. Lion's Weebly site is mlion.weebly.com. If you address has weebly.com in it, that means it is free and thus affordable.
- If you want to get rid of the weebly.com in your address, you will need to purchase a domain name. You can do that any time through Weebly. In fact, every time you publish you will be given the opportunity to purchase a domain name.
