Hosting and Maintenance Costs for AchieveNext White Label

Hosting and Maintenance Costs for AchieveNext White Label

Hosting Services that We Manage for You

Amazon Web Services

  • Amazon is the company we use for hosting and the cost depends completely on your traffic and storage needs
  • You only pay for what you use (We average around $60 per month)
  • We can give them our monthly costs as an example; If they can tell us the traffic they expect we can do an estimate for them

Testing and Development Servers

  • This costs whatever Stack Builders is currently billing us for these

New Relic

  • $50 per month
  • This monitors the site's performance and notifies developers when something goes wrong
  • Gives developers key data and analytics to optimize performance

Web Services You Manage that We'll Need to Access

Domain Name Registrar

  • Godaddy, etc.
  • $10 per year for a domain name

SSL Certificate

  • $80 per year

Braintree

Send Grid

  • Allows us to send email from the application and ensures they don't go to spam folders
  • Pricing would be similar to our account

Email Hosting

  • Hosting for an email address for mailing notifications from the app (e.g. )
  • We recommend Google Apps for Business ($50 per year, per email address)

Mail Chimp

  • This allows you to manage and track mailing lists from all your members and event registrations
  • Pricing would be similar to our account
  • http://mailchimp.com/pricing/ - Pricing depends on the number of users and emails you need to send

Vimeo Pro

  • Optional video hosting
  • You can start with the free version and see how much you need it

Development and Setup

20 Stack Builder Hours for Setup

  • Charge cost for this + 20% premium for managing them
  • This is a total guess at this point. We can give a more accurate estimate when we have more detail, but it seems like a safe guess. There will also be development work we need to do in advance of this to prepare the platform to be white labeled and scaled. This estimate is for the set up and dev work we'll have to do for each community we add.

10 hours custom design and "skinning" the site for your brand

  • This would be Lee's time, which we should bill out
  • This assumes their logo and color palette is set and we don't have to do . This is time

10 hours per month of development maintenance and bug fixes

  • Charge cost of Stack Builders + 20%
