We Are Lowering Our Rates To Support Businesses Affected By COVID-19 Crisis
In light of recent events, the COVID-19 crisis seems to still have a long way to go before it ends. We understand that many businesses are greatly affected by this crisis as physical traffic reduces. We are lowering our rates to help to get these businesses to continue to operate online. As stated in the previous post, we have been working around the clock to keep over 200 online services running for people who are depending on them. As of April, we are powering over 300 online services across the world. We know that it is financially stressful for offline businesses, we are doing everything we can to help you even if we are making zero profit.
What We Are Doing
Our team is committed to supporting our customers during this time of crisis and we are lowering our rates to become more affordable for businesses under financial pressure. We are now offering rapid website and online store creation services that help businesses launch their website in less than 2 hours for as low as $50/site, $1.49/month hosting and $8.99/year domain. The IGA Hosting has always been providing cheap and reliable hosting for the public, this is the lowest price possible for us to offer without costing us too much. This rate cut is made possible by reducing our profit margin greatly, we are even making losses in some scenarios.
What Is Rapid Launch Service
The cheap rapid launch service will offer the basics to create and launch a site, some of the features in our standard model are skipped to reduce cost and time. For example, we use existing templates to design the site which reduces the cost and time of developing new templates. We leave the configuration as default which fit most business model while reducing the work to be done.
What About The Normal Services
We are still offering full-service to anyone who requires them but our focus at the time being is to help offline businesses that are financially unable to go online and were affected by the crisis.
