not all hosts can afford to spend that much. how about something a little cheaper but effective nonetheless?

You could include a free domain with annual packages?

That sounds fine. When you have to spread the costs over one whole year, it doesn't seem so expensive and God knows people are wanting free domains all the time!

Not too much! Because on top of the promo cost, there are still monthly bills to squish every now and then
