Understanding Pricing Bands

Pricing Bands

Pricing Bands allow pricing to be determined based on usage of various resource parameters. These resource parameters are:

• Number of Email Accounts

• Amount of Web Space

• Amount of Data Transfer

• Number of Website Builder Pages

This ensures that you only get proportionally charged when either:

• your Customers purchase small Plans, and/or

• your Sub-Resellers purchase small Plans on behalf of their Customers.

Pricing Bands Example for Windows Web Hosting and Email Plans Category

Let's assume that the following table is visible to you when you view your Sub-Resellers Pricing for the Windows Web Hosting and Email Plans Category:

The following can be interpreted from the above table:

• If you set a Plan (for Customers) with 10 MB of Web Space, 1 GB Data Transfer and 5 Email Accounts, then you would be charged at USD 1 per month. This is because this Plan matches Band 1's pricing set by BlueHost China for you.

• If you set a Plan (for Customers) with 20 MB of Web Space, 2 GB Data Transfer and 5 Email Accounts, then you would be charged at USD 2 per month. You will be charged as per Band 2's pricing because the various resource parameters you have selected for this Plan are higher than those defined for Band 1 but lower than Band 2's.

• If you set a Plan (for Customers) with 100 MB of Web Space, 10 GB Data Transfer and 500 Email Accounts, then you would be charged at USD 5 per month. You will be charged as per Band 3's pricing because the various resource parameters you have selected for this Plan are higher than those defined for Band 2 but lower than Band 3's.

• In each of the Bands, you need to submit your Selling Price for your Sub-Resellers. These Pricing Bands will be applicable to them when:

  • they create Plans for their Customers,

  • set pricing for the Pricing Bands for their Sub-Resellers.
