Pricing and Cost Advice | |
There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees. I think the pricing is competitive. I think as far as licensing is concerned it's pretty straightforward because it's based on domain. It's just that sometimes domains could be tricky with some customers. | Information Not Available |
