Duplicated the site, applied the code to the new one, switched the domain over, and cancelled the old plan.

Discount does not apply to future recurring payments. Discount may not be applied to previous purchases, subscription upgrades, combined with any other offer or applied after 30/10/2026 to purchases made before expiration of this offer.\n\nMy domain is with Porkbun, so presumably I can just duplicate the website, pay for 1 year with the coupon, reconnect my domain to the duplicated website, then cancel the old plan?",
