- Monthly Server Hosting Fees
- Annual Domain Name Registration
- Annual SSL Security Certificate (if you'll be collecting private information from site vistors)
- Periodic Maintenance (for applying security updates & bug fixes to your server's software)
- Technical Support (for you, your staff, and your website visitors, if needed)
- Training
- Content Management & Moderation (if you don't plan to do it yourself)
- Additional Third Party services (Bulk E-mail Newsletters? Video Encoding? Credit Card Processing?)
