How does the AI method of building a website with the 'Starter Site' plugin work?
-The AI method involves creating an account on zipWP, which is the service that provides AI capabilities to your website. You then choose a plan (free or paid), connect your WordPress site with zipWP, and provide details about your business such as the name, purpose, and description. You also select images and choose a layout for your website. The AI then generates a new site based on the provided details.
What are the benefits of using the paid plan with zipWP?

How does one change the website's address to a more professional one?
-To change the website's address, you need to upgrade your plan on Pantheon or purchase a custom domain name from a hosting provider like Webspace Kit or Hostinger. After purchasing the domain, you can set it up with your hosting provider to point to your website.
What is the process to migrate a website from Pantheon to Webspace Kit?
-To migrate a website from Pantheon to Webspace Kit, you install the 'Migrate Guru' plugin on both the Pantheon and Webspace Kit WordPress dashboards.

Why might someone choose to migrate their website from Pantheon to another hosting provider?
