Rent or own? Over 3 years, Starter costs $7,164 to rent ($199 × 36) or $2,597 to own ($1,999 + 2 years of hosting at $299). If you’ll keep your site longer than about 10 months, owning costs less. Renting keeps the upfront cost low and includes monthly edits and support.

FAQ
Pricing questions, answered.
How much does a small business website cost per month?
Our rental plans run from $99 to $499 per month depending on the plan. Hosting, SSL, updates and support are included and there is no setup fee. The first 6 months are billed upfront, then billing is month-to-month.
Is it cheaper to rent or buy a website?
Renting costs less upfront; buying costs less over time. If you plan to keep your site longer than about 10 months, buying once (from $999, with 12 months of hosting included) is usually cheaper. Hosting is $299 per year after the first year.
Do I own my website if I rent it?
No. On a rental plan, Grippy Code owns the site's design and code and licenses it to you while your plan is active. Your content, brand assets and customer data stay yours. If you want to own the site outright, choose a one-time purchase.
What happens after the first 6 months?
Your plan continues month-to-month at the same monthly price, and you can cancel anytime. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the month you have already paid for.
What does the $299/year hosting cover?
It applies only to websites you buy once. After the 12 months of hosting included with your purchase, hosting renews at $299 per year to keep your site online. It does not include support or new work. We email you 35 and 7 days before each renewal, and you can cancel online anytime.
What is your refund policy?
One-time website purchases can be fully refunded within 14 days if we have not yet delivered your site. Hosting renewals can be refunded within 14 days of the charge. Rental prepayments are non-refundable once we start building. Full details are in our refund policy.
