Monthly Website Hosting/Platform Fees
When you build a website, it has to be hosted somewhere. There are two basic types of hosting:
Hosting Only
Space where you can install/build a website. Think a WordPress website. This is where you get the hosting space and can install WordPress on that space to build your website. Larger scale development project usually involver setting up hosting with a 3rd party to build the site on dependent on the specifics of your project.
SAAS (Software as a Service)
This is hosting space where you already have all the tools included with the hosting so that you can build your site with the templates & tools that are supplied. Think of e-commerce platforms like Shopify or BigCommerce or website platforms like SquareSpace or WIX.
Each time we work with clients (either in house or as a sub contractor) on small scale web development projects, we use a hosted web platform (SAAS) to build the websites. The platform that we use (and any hosted web platform) comes with a monthly hosting/platform fee. This will cover everything (other than your domain/URL and email service) that you need to host/build/maintain/update your website. These plans are usually setup in conjunction with a development project that we are working on. This is a hosting only plan and does not come with any additional services (web development, website maintenance, updates/changes to website, etc).
We will take care of signing you up, we just need you to set up your monthly automatic billing. Before we can complete your project, we will need for you to upgrade your demo account to a paid plan. The monthly fee is dependent upon your level of development package. Please visit the following link and set up your reoccurring billing by clicking on the Paypal button as instructed below:
Micro and Starter Packages: $30 per month
