Hi,

I created a new site homepage which address should be:  
[http://SpaceAndGalaxies.great-site.net](http://SpaceAndGalaxies.great-site.net)

But when I put this address in my browser, it is changing to:  
[http://spaceandgalaxies.great-site.net/?i=1](http://spaceandgalaxies.great-site.net/?i=1)

Do you see the:

/?i=1

at the end?

Why do you add this characters to the address?

I don’t like it, I want that visitors in my site will see a clean address without all kind of strange signs and characters at the end. How can I make my visitors see a clean address without this additions and Extras?

Thanks.

I understand, it’s a real shame you can’t remove it ☹

If you upgrade to a custom domain (~$12/yr) or premium hosting, it can be removed
