Your development fee covers the agreed build. Frontend hosting, database services and ongoing changes are separate items, with the allowances and billing arrangement confirmed in your written proposal.
01 / WEBSITE HOSTING
From $180 USD / year on renewal
The Connected platform package includes the first 12 months from launch. Essential and Signature hosting is optional, from $180/year.
An indicative LinkouLab hosting fee. Domain registration, email accounts, database services, high-traffic delivery and content changes are separate. Existing quotes retain their agreed terms.
02 / DATABASE & FILES
From $25 USD / month in provider fees
Budget approximately $300/year for one entry-level production project. Paid directly to the provider or itemised separately, as agreed; payable from launch, including year one.
Database disk and file storage are different resources. The 10 GB upload limit is a proposed project control, not the provider allowance. Final cost depends on configuration, bandwidth and usage.
03 / CAPACITY & SUPPORT
$30–75 USD / month: example compute upgrades
Approximately $360–900/year for example Small or Medium database compute configurations. This replaces the $25 base estimate; it is not a fixed growth plan or an all-in support fee.
No unlimited storage promise. Agree usage alerts and limits before launch; covered limits may restrict uploads or usage. Provider spend controls do not cap every charge.
First year: from $12,300 USD = $12,000 development + $300 estimated database fees; standard frontend hosting is included for 12 months.
From year two: from $480 USD/year = $180 frontend hosting + $300 estimated database fees, before maintenance or additional usage.
Illustrative totals at the listed starting rates. Taxes, domains, email delivery, translation usage, optional advanced backups and other paid services are additional. Annual provider estimates are 12 monthly charges, not annual-plan discounts. The optional $250 design offer is not deducted from these examples and applies only if included in your written quote.
A limited test pilot may use a free provider tier with 500 MB database storage and 1 GB file storage. Free projects may pause after a week of inactivity. This is for testing, not the default production recommendation.
