AI.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you create a website with ZipWP, it is marked as staging site by default if you have a paid ZipWP subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that these sites will remain in your account until you choose to mark them as non-permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you unmark a website from being as staging site, it will be removed from your account after a while, and you will no longer be able to access it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is important for you to understand the lifecycle of your websites, including the expiration and deletion processes, so you can manage your sites efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article will help you understand &#8211; when your sites expire, when you can restore expired sites, and whether you can recover a site after it has been deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Does &#8220;Site Expired&#8221; Mean?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If a site has expired, it implies that it was not marked as permanent

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When Do Sites Get Permanently Deleted?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After a site expires, it enters an archived state, where it remains available for restoration for 3 days. Once this 3-day period elapses, the site is permanently deleted from our servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, it is impossible to get the site back so we strongly suggest you mark all your important sites as permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope you find this information helpful, and now you will be able to manage all your sites effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions:-<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I accidentally deleted a site. Can I restore it back?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately no.
