We agree — having to manually login and pay via PayPal for your website every month is a pain. With everything else going on in your ministry, remembering to pay yet another bill isn’t something that’s very high on your priority list. Plus, not everyone uses PayPal nor feels comfortable with it. We get that.

So now we have a brand new billing system that is completely integrated with your website. It gives you complete control.

• You can set up automatic billing.
• You can easily upgrade your account immediately to any of our packages.
• You can just as easily downgrade or even cancel your service completely at any time.

To access the new billing system, simply login to your website. Point to My Websites at the top of the screen and select Billing from the drop-down menu. The image below is a preview of what you’ll see. Click “Upgrade” or “Downgrade” for the subscription package you want and follow the directions.

Of course, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at sales@ministrywebsites.biz.

The problem

For many of our users, the jump between the Plus and Pro accounts was a pretty big leap. The price doubled for an amount of web space and pages they didn’t really need. So we updated several of the plans and now offer an in-between pricing plan that should be a happy medium for many of you.

Updates to old pricing plans

We’ve added one extra user to our PLUS plan at no extra cost. All PLUS level websites can now make use of our advanced permission features by allowing another person to login and edit or view specific content on the website. Our PRO plan is also gaining added value with a 100% increase in storage capacity (up to 6 GB) and a 100% increase in users (up to 10 users). All with no increase in monthly cost.

Added a new pricing plan

We also added a new pricing plan called the ADVANCED plan. With 50 pages, 3 GB of space and 5 users, this sits between our PLUS and PRO plans for those who need an increase from PLUS, but not quite a jump to PRO. Of course, the ADVANCED plan includes everything the other packages include, too. See our pricing grid for more details.

Five more free web designs were added to the system today:

• Aurora
• Aurora Light

Although some of the designs currently contain some sample “fill” content for businesses, they are great designs for ministries. Your ministry’s content and images will easily replace it.

Let us know if you’d like to change your site’s theme to one of these designs. Of course, you can see a full listing of all the free designs available for use with our system, too.
