shops-a-lot Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Would like to know if anyone can share examples of pricing for web hosting, disk space, email accounts, etc. I'm a web designer new to WHMCS. I will need to allow clients to sign up for monthly hosting accounts. Normally, I charge to design a custom website, and then $29/mo. for web hosting + continued support, maintenance and updates. In the past, I've been very vague on exactly how much disk space is allowed, number of email accounts, etc. I need to come up with standard pricing and want to offer the ability for clients to choose their package via WHMCS. If anyone could point me to pricing examples or give an idea of industry standards, that would be great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shops-a-lot Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I think I would likely be considered a high spec host since most of my clients have no idea what to do themselves. I build custom websites and do all of the set-up for them + continued support, site updates, etc. So they call me with basic questions or if they want a small change to their logo, etc. I realize that $29/mo. is high for web hosting, but for me it's a minimum with design support included. I think my question is now to determine for this price ($29/mo.) how much disk space I should make available by default, how many email accounts, etc.? And how much should I charge for additional disk space? All of my accounts are currently hosted on one Dedicated Virtual account which costs me $50 per month with 30GB storage. The websites that I design are usually custom Wordpress sites. Edited October 31, 2011 by shops-a-lot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
