Keep: Your Redesigned Site, Live for $10–12 a Month

5 min read · Updated July 2026

Most website companies charge you to build the site, then charge you again to host it. Keep flips that. The build is free. You only pay to keep it live: $10–12 a month, no rebuild fee, no contract.

Here is exactly how it works, what you get, and where the honest limits are.

How Keep works

  1. Paste your URL. Go to the submit page and paste your current website address. The AI reads your existing site and rebuilds it as a modern, fast, mobile-ready site. This is a done-for-you redesign, not a builder. You never touch an editor.
  2. See the preview free. In about five minutes you get a full, browsable preview of your redesigned site. No card required to look.
  3. Keep it live. If you like it, Keep puts the rebuilt site live on a SiteGlowUp address for $10–12 a month. That is the whole plan. You got a professionally rebuilt website and your only ongoing cost is the hosting.
You saw the finished site before you paid a cent. That is the point of Keep: zero risk on the build, one small predictable bill to stay live.

What's included

Keep is not stripped-down hosting. Everything your rebuilt site shipped with stays working:

  • Your site stays live indefinitely. As long as Keep is active, your site is up.
  • A working, spam-filtered contact form. Messages land in your dashboard.
  • Gallery, blog, and calendar. Included, not paid add-ons.
  • A shop. Sell directly from your site, with payments going straight to your own Stripe account.
  • Analytics. See your traffic from the dashboard, or connect your own Google Analytics.
  • 5 free AI changes at signup. Want the phone number bigger or a new photo added? Ask in plain English. Your first 5 credits are free; after that, most changes cost $1.
  • A full file download. You own your files. Download everything and leave anytime. No export fee, no hostage hosting.

What Keep doesn't include

Honesty first: Keep is the entry plan, and three things are deliberately reserved for the Publish upgrade.

  • Your own domain. On Keep, your site lives on a SiteGlowUp address. Connecting yourbusiness.com is a Publish feature.
  • Badge removal. Keep sites carry a small SiteGlowUp badge.
  • Google indexability. Keep sites are not indexed by Google. If you want the site to show up in search results, that is Publish.
Publish is a one-time $299 upgrade, not a subscription. Pay it once and you get your own domain, the badge removed, and a Google-indexable site, forever. Many owners start on Keep, live with the site for a month, then upgrade when they are ready. There is no penalty for waiting and no pressure to decide up front. Full details on the pricing page.

Pricing, plainly

  • The redesign: free. You see the full preview before paying anything.
  • Keep: $10–12/mo. That is a $10/mo base plus a small usage charge, typically $1–2/mo and often pennies, itemized on your invoice. Most sites land at $10–12/mo total.
  • Publish: $299, one time. Own domain, badge removed, Google indexable. Charged once, on top of your active hosting plan.
  • Growth: $29/mo. For owners who want the site working harder: includes 15 AI credits every month for changes and scheduled AI blog posts, plus priority support.
Why the range instead of one number? Because your bill has two honest parts: the flat $10 base and the actual usage your site generates, passed through and itemized on your invoice. For a typical small-business site that usage is $1–2 a month, often pennies. We would rather show you the real range than a teaser number with an asterisk.

If you are weighing Keep against hiring an agency or rebuilding the site yourself, the comparison page walks through all three options, and the complete guide to AI website redesign covers the whole process in depth.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a website built for free and just pay for hosting?

Yes. That is exactly what Keep is. SiteGlowUp rebuilds your existing website free, you review the finished preview, and if you keep it live you pay only the hosting: $10–12 a month. There is no build fee and no rebuild fee.

What does the $10–12 a month actually cover?

Hosting your rebuilt site, plus the contact form, gallery, blog, calendar, shop, and analytics. The $10 is the flat base; the extra $1–2 is your site's actual usage, itemized on your invoice. Most sites land at $10–12 total.

Can I leave whenever I want?

Yes. There is no contract, and every plan includes a full file download. Cancel, download your files, and take your site anywhere. You own it.

Can I upgrade to my own domain later?

Yes, anytime. The Publish upgrade is $299 one time and adds your own domain, removes the SiteGlowUp badge, and makes your site indexable on Google. Nothing about starting on Keep locks you out of upgrading later.

Will my site show up on Google on the Keep plan?

No. Keep sites live on a SiteGlowUp address and are not indexed by Google. Google indexability comes with the $299 Publish upgrade, along with your own domain.

How fast can my site be live?

The preview is ready about five minutes after you paste your URL. If you like it, going live on your SiteGlowUp address takes a few clicks from there.
