If you cancel your Discourse subscription, your site will be taken offline and users will lose access to it, as explained by simon. However, you can create a complete backup file of your site’s data, including users, and restore it to a self-hosted Discourse instance or another hosting provider. This way, users will regain access to the forum. Alternatively, pfaffman suggests self-hosting or using another hosting service, such as Literate Computing or Communiteq, to keep your community online.
If your site is hosted by us, get in touch with our support team for details about what happens when you cancel your subscription. You can contact our support team through the email address that is given on your site’s admin dashboard.
When you cancel your subscription, your site will be taken offline, so your users will lose access to it. What you can do is cancel your subscription and create a complete backup file that contains all of your site’s data (including its users.) This backup file can be restored to a self-hosted Discourse instance, or to a Discourse instance that’s setup through another Discourse hosting provider. When the backup file is restored on the new site, your users will regain access to the forum.
If you are canceling your community because you can’t afford the world’s best hosting, you can self host or have me install it or or use another hosting service (that I have never heard a bad word about).
