Do I Own My Website If I Pay Monthly?
This is the question every owner should ask about a monthly website. The short answer: you always own everything that makes your business yours, and the tailored design and WordPress build becomes yours after 24 months of payments. Here are the details.
- Tailored, mobile-friendly design
- Fast hosting with global CDN delivery
- Active security and monitoring
- Routine updates handled for you
- Live in 10 days
What you own, and what we keep
Think of it like renting with an option to own.
Your domain name, your text, your images and branding assets, and your customer data, including form submissions and leads.
The tailored design and the WordPress site and database it is built on. We host, secure and maintain them for you.
A zip of all the website files plus the database, if you cancel after making 24 months of payments.
How the 24 months work
-
1
You launch
You pay the one-time setup, and your tailored site goes live in 10 days. Billing for the monthly fee starts 30 days after launch.
-
2
We run it
We host, secure and update the site every month. You keep full ownership of your domain, content and customer data.
-
3
If you cancel before month 24
You keep your domain, text, images and customer data and can build a new site anywhere. We do not export the design or the database, so you would be rebuilding the site from your own content.
-
4
At month 24
After 24 months of payments, if you decide to cancel, we send you a zip of all the files and the database so you can host the site yourself.
Why it works this way
We keep the one-time setup low by tailoring and building your site up front instead of charging thousands for it. The 24-month term makes that possible, and it is why the design stays with us until the term is complete. It is similar to renting with an option to own: you use a fully built, fully managed website from day one, and you own it outright when the term is done.
There is also an early buyout option if you want to take the files sooner. Ask us for details.
