Too much math for me...our domain names are $8.95 per year, the site builder comes with hosting, unlimited pages up to disk space, and includes e-mails etc. again up to disk space. It looks like they have lowered their prices a bit but you only get 5 MB and 5 pages (so we offer 100X more space) and their site builder seems far more limited than ours, it has no HTML editor (nice to have in case you need it) and doesn't appear to have any specialty stuff (like we have newsletter software in our site builder so you can create & send e-mail campaigns if you want, their's is $15 a mo. extra...several other things like that) I really can't tell, their site is confusing, it has several different offers with different features (like there is still a 20 page option but it doesn't say if the domain comes with it, in one place the domain comes with the 5 page option on another page it doesn't etc...so I can't really figure out which deal is what) Like I said if you are happy, that's great. To me it looks like we are still the better "deal" but like I said the way they price things is far more complex than mine (we have simple plans with easily to compare features and no "extra" charges for anything) so I can't really tell what your costs would be now... The customers that use it seem to really like it, but the bulk of our business by far is our PavementWeb Services. Which is another animal, we have a few pavement people who use the site builder but very few. We mainly added the "general" hosting part of the business to service our pavement customers who kept asking things like "my brother in law has been thinking about a site for his business, do you offer that?" So now we pretty well offer anything anybody else does, one way or another.
