monthly fees or one-time setup?

[dave321]

Hello,

We have been shopping for a new real estate website hosting but some companies like real estate website hosting design charge a one-time fee and then some companies charge monthly fees but have long-term contracts. Has anyone had any experience with either one? I am leaning towards the one-time setup because there are no long term contracts but any input will be helpful from real estate veterans. Thank you.

Hello Dave,

Whats your budget and what type of website hosting are you looking for ?

We have some highly skilled webmasters on this forum and they can give you better pricing with high quality off work.

There are things to look at, if you wanted a website hosting with little / no updates then a web designer would charge a one off fee for the design and, if providing, a recurring hosting charge. Charges may apply for updates.

Large website hostings may have a designer constantly developing it so the website hosting owner is continuosly charged for the work + any hosting fees.

Also, are you also looking for the designer to host the website hosting for you or just create it?

It depends on what you are looking for initially such as website hosting size and how many updates you want.

If you want to know which one is better value for you we would have to know a little bit more such as size of website hosting, frequency of updates what features you would want on your website hosting (does it need to be written in a specific language such as PHP, HTML etc). Do you need interactive features on your website hosting? - all this can affect the price of your website hosting.

What are the quotes you have had?

I'm going to be watching this thread closely as these are the questions I'm thinking about for my website hosting design business which is just starting up! I think we're looking for mainly brochure website hostings with an initial charge to get the website hosting going and then any updates charged for the work they take. Was also thinking about maybe doing some sort of whole cover for the year up to x-hours of work at a certain price sort of as incentive etc.

But yes, going back to the thread, quotes depend massively on the size and complexity of the website hosting so if you tell us more about what you're looking for, I'm sure we'll be able to give you a better idea.
