Pricing Transparency: Understanding the Value Behind B_Limitless Services for 2024/2025
At B_Limitless, we’re all about transparency when it comes to our pricing. We want you to know exactly what you’re paying for and the value you’re getting in return. Our goal is to provide top-quality website solutions – including hosting, domain management, email services, maintenance, and support – while keeping everything affordable.
In this post, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown of our pricing for 2024/2025 and why it’s a smart investment for your business.
1. Domain, Emails, and Hosting: What’s Included?
The foundation of your online presence starts with domain registration, hosting, and email services. Here’s how we manage these crucial components:
- Domain Registration: We cover the annual registration cost for .com and .co.za domains, which is R300 per year. This expense is absorbed by B_Limitless as a courtesy to our clients, meaning you won’t have to worry about this recurring cost.
- Hosting Services:
- We use our own high-performance dedicated server designed specifically for our clients’ needs. By limiting the number of clients per server, we ensure optimal speed and performance for your website and online services.
- We operate through a reseller hosting account, which costs us minimum R3,000 per year, and also handle all necessary infrastructure (servers, internet, computers, etc.) to support your website’s smooth operation.
Cost Breakdown:
- The internal cost for hosting and infrastructure is R1,460 annually per client, or R122 per month.
- To cover these expenses and provide reliable hosting, we charge R200 per month for domain, emails, and hosting services, delivering exceptional value.
2. Website Package: Premium Tools for a Professional Online Presence
Creating a high-quality website requires investing in premium plugins and licenses. Here’s the breakdown of the essential tools we use:
- Divi Theme License: R1,600 ($89)
- Divi Supreme Pro: R1,450 ($79)
- WP Rocket: R1,080 ($59)
- Gravity Forms: R1,080 ($59)
- Divi Gravity Forms: R1,250 ($69)
Total License Cost: R6,460 per year, which is R539 per month.
Note: These tools are priced in dollars, so the cost may vary depending on rand/dollar fluctuations. Because we purchase licenses in bulk, we benefit from discounts, allowing us to offer competitive pricing. This means that if you were to manage these licenses on your own, your costs would be significantly higher.
Where We Make Our Profit: For a starter one-page website, we charge R900 per month, which includes the license costs, hosting, maintenance, and support. This all-inclusive package takes care of everything you need without you having to worry about managing separate components.
3. Website Management & Maintenance: Ensuring Smooth Operations
Websites require ongoing attention to remain secure, up-to-date, and high-performing. Our comprehensive management and maintenance services include:
- Managing domain names, emails, and hosting services.
- Performing regular website backups, WordPress Core, plugins, and security updates.
- Conducting security checks and performance scans.
- Managing website comments and user accounts.
- Providing monthly website reports.
- Plus: A complimentary 60-minute monthly service or website support/edit session.
Cost of Service: We dedicate at least one hour per month to each client, billed at R600 per hour.
Total Management and Maintenance Cost: R7,200 per year, or R600 per month. This covers the essential care your website needs to function smoothly and securely.
4. Summary of Costs and Our Value Proposition
To help you understand the full picture, here’s a summary of what we charge compared to our internal costs:
- Domain, Emails, and Hosting Services: R122 per month (Our internal cost)
- Website Package: R539 per month (Our license cost)

Profit Margin: The actual cost of the website package is R661 per month, but we charge R900, resulting in a profit of R239 per month. Additional profit comes from managing bulk licenses, offering ongoing maintenance and support, providing larger email storage, and handling more extensive website packages that require added effort.
Why Our Services Are a Great Deal for Clients
By covering the cost of domain registration and distributing infrastructure expenses across our client base, we keep individual costs low. Our use of bulk licenses not only helps us save on expenses but also allows us to pass on those savings to you. This means you get a high-quality website, premium tools, and expert support at a fraction of the cost of managing these services independently.
Moreover, our packages cover everything you need: hosting, maintenance, support, larger email storage options, and even more extensive website solutions. We handle it all, so you don’t have to.
In short: Choosing B_Limitless means investing in an all-inclusive service that covers every aspect of your website. You benefit from our bulk purchasing power, technical expertise, and ongoing support, ensuring your website is secure, functional, and optimized year-round.
