## FAQ

**Do I have to host my site with sitemd?**\n
No, and you couldn't even if you wanted to. sitemd isn't a website hosting service — it's a website building toolkit you install on your machine. You'll build your site locally, then [deploy & host wherever you want](/docs/deploy#deploy-targets).

**Can I use sitemd for client sites?**\n
Absolutely. 15% bulk discount when purchasing 50+ site slots at one time.

**Is there a free version/trial?**\n
Yes. sitemd can run in [free trial mode](/docs/build-modes#trial-mode) forever. You can preview [all features](/docs/build-modes#all-features-work-in-both-modes) in trial mode. You only need to pay when it's time to deploy your site.

**How many sites do I get?**\n
When you initially upgrade/purchase sitemd for $79, you get 3 starter site slots. If you need more sites, you can purchase additional slots for $19/ea or 50+ at one time for a 15% bulk discount.

**What counts as 1 "site"?**\n
Any set of pages (could be 1, could be 100+) that share the same site title, brand name, and deploy URL. We call this your "site identity" and it's how we verify your site's activation status.\n

Note: subdomains are considered their own unique deploy URL, so if you need to deploy pages to both mydomain.com and sub.mydomain.com, that uses 2 site slots.

**Can I reassign my site slots?**\n
No. Activating a site is permanent — it cannot be undone, refunded, or credited.

**Do you offer refunds?**\n
No. You can fully preview all sitemd functionality for free for as long as you need before making a purchase decision.

**Are future updates included?**\n
Yes. All sitemd [updates ship to you automatically](/docs/updates).
