A Plain-English Explanation
What does your monthly website fee cover?
It pays for the live service behind your website: the server space, security and ongoing care needed to keep it online and available to visitors.
The Simple Answer
Building a website and keeping it online are two different services.
The design and launch are the one-off part. Once the website is live, it still needs to be stored on an internet-connected server, delivered when somebody visits and kept secure. Those services continue every day, which is why hosting and care are charged monthly.
What Your Payment Supports
The essentials that keep your website working.
Every monthly website plan contributes to the live infrastructure and routine technical work behind your website.
Visitor traffic
Hosting provides the server resources and bandwidth used each time a visitor loads your pages, images and content.
SSL certificate
SSL enables the secure padlock and encrypted HTTPS connection visitors expect when using a modern website.
Security updates
Monthly security updates and routine care help keep the website's live environment protected and current.
Why are there different monthly prices?
A single-page website, a multi-page website and a website connected to Scheduli do not provide the same amount of work or functionality. Your monthly price reflects the size and features of the package you choose, while hosting and ongoing care remain part of every website plan.
One-Off vs Ongoing
Two costs, each with a different purpose.
One-time payment
Website launch fee
Covers the work needed to prepare, connect, test and publish your new website after you approve it.
Continuing service
Your monthly package
Covers the hosting, SSL, security updates and ongoing care that continue for as long as the website is live with us, together with the size and features of your chosen package.
Good to Know
Your monthly price is not a charge for each visitor.
You are paying for the service that makes visits possible, not for every individual person who opens the site. It is also separate from optional extras and costs that sit outside the agreed website package.
Not a second design feeThe website build and launch work are priced separately.
Not the domain renewalDomain registration and renewal are separate where stated in your order.
Not unlimited new workNew pages, redesigns and features outside your package are quoted separately.
Not third-party servicesOptional software, premium services and external provider fees are separate unless agreed.
Common Questions
A few useful answers.
Why does a finished website still cost money each month?
A finished website still needs a server, bandwidth, SSL and ongoing technical care. Those live services continue after the design work is complete.
Will my website stay online if the monthly plan ends?
The website relies on the active hosting service. If the plan ends and no replacement hosting has been arranged, the website may go offline in line with your agreed package terms.
Does the monthly website price include a domain name?
No. Domain registration and renewal are separate costs where stated in your order. Your domain can be transferred to another provider if required.
Can I ask what applies to my own package?
Yes. Your written order or invoice records the package and price you agreed. Contact us if you would like us to explain any part of it.
