Hosting Pricing Changes - April 2023

Due to inflationary pressures, we unfortunately need to make adjustments to our hosting plans.

Most plans will remain the same price. However, we are reducing some of the usage allowances of each plan.

This approach will mean no change in pricing for the majority of our customers who operate well under the limits of each plan

Changes to plans will take effect in April 2023.

You will have up until the end of April to change to a better hosting plan to avoid any excess fees that will be calculated on the last day of April. 

Changes to annual plans will reflect the same limits. If you are not yet on an annual plan, the pricing is typically based on 11 months + 1 month free.

Our plans are designed to offer a resonable amount of business use. Our expectation is that our hosting costs will be less than 2% of your business turnover. Please contact us to arrange special rates if you expect your hosting fees to exceed 2% of your business turnover. 

There are some mid level hosting plans in between the above pricing levels, and their allowances will be adjusted in proportion to the above plans.

Higher usage plans are available. If your usage is higher than these plans, then please contact us to discuss your specific needs and we can tailor a plan for you. 

Product counts include variants / SKU. There are options to have sizing/styles without variants for no additional cost. But if your sizes/styles are saved as variants, with unique pricing and stock level management available, then these do contribute towards your product count.

Many other allowances such as traffic and filespace will remain unchanged.

If you are inside our CMS, and looking at the plans, you will still see the old limits. On the 3rd of April, we will apply the new limits to the system, and then you will see a more accurate plan usage summary inside the CMS accounts area.
