Hosting and Maintenance Terms and Conditions:
At Waking Girl, we believe it's important to make updates to your website at least monthly, in order to remain fresh, relevant and noticeable in the search engines.
Hosting is a mandatory program to keep your Waking Girl website going. Hosting is the storage space where your website sits. Our hosting includes an easy-to-edit platform with regular technological updates. We cover the cost of one domain per year with your hosting. Your company is the legal owner of your domain name; we are just the administrator. This allows us easy access to your domain for setting up FREE email forwarding or troubleshooting. It also ensures the protection of our investment of time into your website; we do not want your domain name to expire!
Can I pay for hosting one year at a time? You may, but we specifically designed our Hosting program to force a business owner to think about the website each month: am I getting anything from my website? Could I get more? Is my website generating enough to cover the hosting? Do I even want to have a business? We have learned that annual hosting just encourages business owners to forget about their websites, one of the most crucial pieces of their businesses. We want you to ask these questions each month and talk to us if you are unsatisfied with your website's performance. We are happy to assist you with marketing ideas on and off your website!
All of our maintenance programs include the cost of hosting. We do the same types of projects regardless of which maintenance plan you choose; we just offer you more or less time, depending on your plan. Plans start at 30 minutes a month and go up to 5 hours a month.
All programs are month-to-month. You may downgrade or upgrade at any time. We appreciate a 30 day notice if you would like to downgrade!
Failure to pay for monthly maintenance will result in an immediate downgrade to the Hosting plan. Failure to pay for Hosting will result in a website shutdown.
If you are no longer in business, please let us know, as we may be able to sell your domain name or website to another customer, which may recoup some of your costs, or result in a credit should you choose to start another business.
