Why your plugin bill is zero

A cheaper host is not cheaper if you buy seven licences on top of it.

Compare two hosting plans on price alone and ours looks expensive. That comparison is missing something.

Every plan includes a set of premium WordPress plugins, licensed by us and usable on your sites at no extra cost. Here is what that set costs if you buy it yourself, at the tier a single site would need:

  • Premium page builder: $84 a year
  • Premium theme and template library: $69 a year
  • Advanced builder add-ons: $69 a year
  • Professional form builder: $59 a year
  • Pro SEO suite: $49 a year
  • Multilingual engine: $42 a year
  • Login security and two-factor: $24 a year

That is $396 a year, against a Starter plan at $99.95. The licences alone cost four times the hosting they run on.

The agency case

This is why the plans are shaped the way they are. An agency reselling hosting to its own clients is buying the same seven licences over and over. Bundling them is not a marketing gesture, it is the single largest line item we can remove from their costs.

Why we do not name them

The licence terms for these products do not allow us to advertise them by name, and we would rather stay inside those terms than borrow somebody else's brand to sell hosting. What you can check is the part that matters: the categories, the prices, and the total. The breakdown sits on every plan card, collapsed, so you can add it up yourself rather than take our word for it.

Hosting that states its limits
