Initial Purchase

Reviews

I am looking at the $5.95/month plan. The $5.95/month requires 36 months? It has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Who is the domain with, what is the cost after the first year? Please verify that it also includes CDN and SSL certificate for one year, what is the cost after first year.

What is a parked domain?
