Third-Party Provider Fees
Below is a guide to the extra costs you'll incur from third‑party providers if your website requires their services. The fees listed are subject to change without notice. I'll update you on changes if any of these services are needed for your website.
Domain Registration
Recommended Provider: DreamHost Domain Name Registration – Reliable, free WHOIS privacy.
Website + Email Hosting Plans
Recommended Provider: DreamHost Virtual Private Server (VPS) - Consistently top‑ranked for uptime and support, bundles professional @yourdomain.com email at no extra charge with any VPS Hosting Plan, over 20 years of experience, and 24/7 live support.
Themes and Plugins
WordPress Themes* determine the visual design of your site, including its layout, colors, fonts, and overall appearance, while WordPress Plugins* add specific functionality, extending what the core platform can do (for example, contact forms, e‑commerce capabilities, search optimization tools).
Both themes and plugins are offered in free and premium versions; premium options may involve a one‑time purchase or a recurring license.
Visual Assets
Professional Stock Photography* and Illustrations* give a site its visual personality, helping convey brand values, set tone, and capture visitor attention. Like themes and plugins, these assets come in both free and premium collections. Premium options often require a one‑time purchase per image or a subscription that includes a specific number of downloads. I recommend Dreamstime for premium visual assets.
