Hi there,

We're excited to announce our new Netlify Free plan. Since your Starter account still needs to add a payment method, we'll automatically move you to a Free plan on January 21, 2025.

The Netlify Free plan is perfect for personal sites and prototypes, giving you peace of mind that your site will never cost a thing.

Want to stay on the Starter plan instead? Add a payment method to your account to:

Handle traffic increases without hitting plan limits Add paid add-ons like analytics Maintain your current plan settings If you're happy to move to the Free plan, no action is needed. Questions? We're here to help. Reach out to us in our support forums.

– The Netlify Team

Do we lose anything going to the free plan or does everything stay the same? I have mx records at netlify pointing to my mail hosting. If I go over my limit will my mail stop working?

Same features, including Netlify DNS. You can also choose to remain on the Starter plan, which has traffic overage billing, by entering a payment method.

When you exceed the limit, your Netlify-hosted sites are suspended until the end of the month. Netlify DNS remains operational, as we're aware that people operate non-Netlify infrastructure, such as email, that relies on it.
