BEST WEBSITES has purposely chosen to make our websites affordable by charging a small amount to create the site, and then we regain our investment over a long period of time by having you host with us, hopefully for many years.
For this reason we do not allow you to take a website that we have built and transfer it to a cheaper host.
Please read the details of "Who Owns My Website".
The one time initial fee to build the website includes:
The yearly fee includes:
For Canadian Residents Only
13% HST applies if you are a Canadian resident.
A deposit of $50 may be required to secure your domain name and begin website creation. The balance is due, only when you are happy with the design, and you are sure you want to continue working with us.
Renewals are based on the anniversary date of the purchase of your domain name. i.e. if we purchase your domain name on September 15, your monthly payments will be due on the 15th of each month. If you are paying yearly, your renewal date will be September 15 each year thereafter.
The first year includes the cost of building the website.
After the first year, rates are reduced to half.
Note: Prices shown are a general guideline for most websites.
If a website needs more than average attention, the yearly rate will be adjusted accordingly.
