Frequently Asked Questions

Which costs less total?

Monthly is cheaper Year 1-3. One-time might be cheaper Year 4+, but hidden costs (updates, hosting, support) often make monthly better value.

What happens if I stop paying monthly?

Website goes offline. But you had zero upfront risk. With one-time, you lose $5000 if business fails. Monthly subscription protects against failure.

Can I switch from monthly to ownership?

Some providers offer buyout options. Velosites focuses on monthly model because it aligns our success with yours - we succeed when you succeed.
