The website is $1, then hosting at $8.99 a month, with a mailbox already in it.
Today you pay $1 for the website plus your first month of hosting. After that hosting is $8.99 a month, billed on the same date each month until you cancel, and you can cancel in any month. The same build is openly sold at $1,500, which is what a US agency charges for a small business site of this size. So at a dollar the website is bought and done.
What you pay monthly is hosting, which any website needs from someone. Ours carries the SSL, the backups, a mailbox on your own name and your domain looked after, without costing more for them. The .com is included on the Complete plan at $18.99 a month. On Basic at $8.99 a month the name is registered in your own name and run for you, and the registry’s own annual fee for it, about $12 a year, is billed separately at cost.
Someone buying the mailbox on its own is paying a subscription for that alone.
More mailboxes, estimates and invoices and local SEO sit on the same hosting when the business wants them. Change what you have or stop altogether in any month: no contract, no notice period.
