FAQ


What will happen to my existing site?
Nothing. Existing Cargo 1 sites are not affected when you make a site on Cargo 2, and will continue to function normally. Once you launch a Cargo 2 site you can choose to delete your Cargo 1 site, although this is not required.


What will happen to my existing upgrade?
If you have an active Cargo 1 upgrade, this will cover your Cargo 2 site for the remainder of the upgrade’s duration. When your Cargo 1 upgrade is due for renewal, you will receive an email offering the option to choose between keeping your Cargo 1 site upgraded, or upgrading your Cargo 2 site. Note that a Cargo 2 upgrade is $99 yearly (or $13 monthly). If your Cargo 2 site has not yet been covered under a Cargo 1 upgrade, you can do this through the Cargo 2 Admin: Settings tab → UpgradeOr transfer an Upgrade.
