THE CVS WEB STRATEGY: INTEGRATION OF AN ONLINE PHARMACY THE CVS WEB STRATEGY: AN EVALUATION OF THE CHALLENGES AND ADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATING AN ONLINE PHARMACY By Leah Bouk Wingate University 1 THE CVS WEB STRATEGY ABSTRACT This paper talks about the contemplations encompassing CVS Pharmacy’s activity to turn into a piece of the virtual drugstore industry. In particular, the hierarchical structure, principal plan of the self-governing development, and key situating of CVS. com were considered in assessing the medication store’s capacity to respond to the troublesome technology.This paper serves to assess the viable activities, issues, and potential answers for the contemplations illustrated previously. Because of this investigation, one can find that procuring the web organization Soma. com, rather than making its own online segment, was an effective procedure for the self-governing development. Shortages incorporate not executing a technique to dodge the MerckMedco mail request difficulty. At last, a suggestion is that CVS. com separate itself by customizing client home pages and by encouraging associations with endorsing social insurance suppliers.

In this manner, advancement in a multiproduct, incorporated and progressive association, similar to CVS Pharmacy, can be moderate moving or non-existent. By the by, the medicinal services industry is a lucrative goliath and organizations like CVS, which was evaluated number 47 on CNN’s Most Profitable Companies in 2011, help legitimize this point (cnn. oney. com). This paper examines the contemplations encompassing CVS Pharmacy’s activity to adapt to the problematic innovation made by the virtual drugstore industry. In particular, I will talk about the hierarchical structure by temperance of the self-ruling development and the vital situating of CVS. com. This paper serves to assess the powerful activities, issues and potential answers for the issues encompassing the onboarding of CVS. com. 4 THE CVS WEB STRATEGY LAND SCAPEIt is critical to comprehend the intricacy of the medicinal services and pharmaceutical industry at the time the CVS drugstore chain was investigating securing an online alternative for its clients in 1999. The way toward diagnosing, endorsing, administering and conveyance was, and still is, amazingly directed. For instance, just authorized doctors have the ability to recommend meds and just authorized retailers can administer them. What's more, Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) have just hoarded the administration of medication endorsing and apportioning by1999.PBMs set up models, through arrangements with the pharmaceutical organizations, the retail drug stores and the employers’ Managed Care Organization (MCO), that commanded which medication could be recommended for a specific sickness. Besides, numerous PBMs necessitate that every one of the multi day gracefully solutions for interminable infections be apportioned through mail request and a significant number of the PBMs get their own dispersion places to offer this assistance. Consequently, the Managed Care Organizations, doctors, retail drug stores and the patient all depend on PBMs to guarantee the most reduced expense and best consideration for all included (Reinke, 2009).Like PBMs, retail drug stores additionally appreciate the market power they produce. The paper CVS: The Web Strategy portrays the effect of the retail drug store by relating that 66% of all remedies filled at retail were filled by drugstores in 1999, which made up a 100 billion dollar advertise In 1998, CVS was underdog to Walgreen acquiring 15. 2 billion dollars (CVS: The Web Strategy, 2001, p. 11). 5 THE CVS WEB STRATEGY â€Å"Pure-play† online drugstores and non-solution human services locales made their introduction in the principal quarter of 1999 and CVS went with the same pattern by buying Soma. om to use a â€Å"clicks and mortar† activity that would consolidate a physical nearness with a web nearness . Authoritative STRUCTURE Although it might appear to be atypical of a multi-item, incorporated, various leveled firm to search remotely for development, the relationship was a success win for the two CVS drug store and the virtual firm Soma. com. This thought is uncovered in the exposition CVS: The Web Strategy, which states, â€Å"CVS would have liked to offer CVS. com the advantages of its purchasing power, publicizing quality, brand name and access to 280 million remedies, while holding the pioneering soul of the organization† (CVS: The Web Strategy, 2001, p. ). After careful assessment of the two alternatives, CVS chose to get the new business, since it is brisk to execute (just 3 to 4 months), it would bring immaterial resources, and it shared the way of life and perspectives on CVS. The elusive inferred information that Soma. com would carry to CVS included experienced workers with mail request solution foundations and a comprehension of the west coast advertise, since CVS stores were gathered in the upper east and Soma. com’s home office were on the west coast.This national inclusion accommodated a bigger degree that the online store would have the option to exploit. Besides, CVS had the option to secure 100% responsibility for. com, which would take into consideration vertical mix inside CVS. Converging with CVS appeared well and good to soma. com also. The virtual organization had the option to profit by the economies of scale, as the expense of the web division could be spread across expanding units of creation or in serving CVS’s developing client base. Teece portrays the advantage of a partnership among virtual and skillful makes by saying that â€Å"if [virtual 6 THE CVS WEB STRATEGY irms] do in fact build up a solid union with an equipped producer, they may likewise have the ability to be first to showcase, in spite of the nonappearance of the essential inward capabilities† (Teece, 2009, p. 59). Both soma. com and the PBMs, with which CVS attempts to get repaid for meds, would profit by turning into a section, or partnered with, CVS due to the company’s solid marking. John M. Gallaugher emphasizes this point in saying that â€Å"a firm’s brand is the emblematic exemplification of all the data associated with an item or administration, and a solid brand can likewise be an especially amazing asset for upper hand. Including a site segment will likewise improve an effectively conspicuous brand. â€Å"Tech can assume a basic job in quickly and cost-successfully reinforcing a brand† (Gallaugher, 2008, p. 6). While there were numerous favorable circumstances for CVS in procuring Soma. com, CVS encountered the weaknesses of not possessing the corresponding resource, Merck-Medco, who wouldn't repay CVS. com for multi day flexibly remedies. The issue encompassed the way that MerckMedco previously gave a mail request conveyance to multi day flexibly remedies and was not going to surre nder this chance to CVS. com.As recently plot, PBMs were an indispensable correlative resource for the professionally prescribed medication industry in 1999 and served a vast dominant part of CVS’s clients. Teece uncovers that â€Å"when the administrations of integral resources are required for new innovation to yield an incentive to the buyer, they can assume a significant job in the upper hand equation† (Teece, 2009, p25). Moreover, Teece relates that â€Å"competitive favorable position can be picked up or lost on how expertly the methodology for obtaining entrance is executed† (Teece, 2009, p25). Further examination uncovers that in soon after CVS. om was propelled, Merck-Medco and CVS shaped a collusion with the goal that CVS clients could buy their solutions on the Merck-Medco site (Conlin, 1999). 7 THE CVS WEB STRATEGY AUTONOMOUS INNOVATION Since CVS was a profoundly coordinated organization, joining the online drug store all through the remainder of the organization, or fundamental advancement, would be very expensive and might demoralize further development. This is the thing that happened to General Motors when the vehicle business changed from drum brakes to circle brakes. Since GM had contributed a lot of time and mo

The Deadweight Loss

Question: HowThe Deadweight misfortune is caused? Answer: The Deadweight shortfall is brought about by the expanded cost, which is thus the net expense to the general public. The net expense to the general public is additionally brought about by the fall in the quantity of vehicles utilizing the parkway. The estimation of the deadweight misfortune is as follows:The remaining drivers paid the expanded cost which is equivalent to (0.50 0.40) (40,000). This can be seen as the exchange from the drivers to the legislature. (b) The investment funds of the legislature is equivalent to $25,000. This is for the most part on the grounds that the administration bought less solid, which is offset the decrease in surplus got by the makers of cement. The size of the yearly loss of the makers of cement is as follows:The use of less concrete by the administration prompts reserve funds that is equivalent to$25,000 - $250$24,750.The decrease in the budgetary use of the legislature gives a decent estimation of the social estimation of the investment funds. It for the most part results from the decrease in the acquisition of cement. Both the individuals just as the non-individuals from the administration who bought the solid will basically pick up from it as there has been a 50 percent in the cost of the solid. a) The minimal expense is $25 and it is autonomous of number of oil changes sold. Along these lines, MC bend will be flat. The interest bend will be more extreme as the value flexibility is under 1 (Baumol and Blinder 2015). The social expense of hydrocarbon discharge in air is $10, consequently, the gracefully bend (MC). This circumstance is spoken to in the accompanying graph. b) Due to burden inconvenience, the cost of oil change will increment. The income of the chain of carports firm before charge burden was $25 10000= $2,50,000 every year. Because of ascend in cost, the interest will likewise increment. The flexibility of interest is - 0.5. Because of duty inconvenience change in cost will be $10 per oil change. We realize t hat, Price Elasticity = % Change in Quantity % change in Price.Therefore, % Change in Quantity = Price Elasticity % change in Price% change in Price= (Change in cost past value) 100 = (10 25) 100 = 40%Hence, % Change in Quantity = - 0.5 40 = - 20%The amount will lessen by 20%. The changed amount will be 10,000 (20/100) 10,000 = 10000-2000 = 8000 oil changes for every year. The income of the chain of carports firm after duty inconvenience is $35 8000= $2,80,000 per yearHence, the yearly net advantage will be ($2,80,000 - $2,50,000) = $30,000In the nonattendance of government intercession, the firm faces a deadweight shortfall that outcomes from regular restraining infrastructure. It is where one firm commands the whole market. The characteristic restraining infrastructure emerges in light of the fact that the organizations can only with significant effort enter the market because of significant expense and economies of scale. Deadweight misfortune is where the general public that inc orporates customer and makers face misfortune (Mallick 2014). Two government strategies that can decrease the deadweight misfortune coming about because of characteristic restraining infrastructures are:The first strategy is to build the opposition in the market by opening new open divisions. New firms will help in lessening the superfluous ascent in the cost in this way diminishing the misfortune in shopper excess. Henceforth, the firm will arrive at new harmony level where the cost is equivalent to minor expense and normal expense. The second approach that the legislature can utilize is by offering endowments to the makers to decrease the misfortune in maker excess. Endowments again will help in decreasing value that thusly will diminish the deadweight misfortune looked by society (Mallick 2014). c) The principle advantage of normal imposing business models is cost advantage that it has. Cost advantage if there should be an occurrence of huge firm is known as economies of scale. It very well may be clarified with an assistance of a diagram:$5 every hour is the lowest pay permitted by law that is over the degree of market clearing wage $4 every hour. The booking wage is $1. At showcase, clearing wage 600 individuals are utilized. At $5, the quantities of utilized laborers are 500 and jobless specialists are 300. Along these lines, the gracefully of workers is 500 + 300 = 800.Due to change in approach, the excess of the firm has been decreased by the region aihd. The dollar estimation of this region can be determined by dcih + acd. (5-4) 500 + (5-4) (600-500) = 500 + 50 = $550Therefore, change in firms surplus is - $550. Because of progress in approach, the excess of the representatives will be change from agi to dbgi. The new region dcih will be added to its overflow however it will misfortune a zone of abc. The old excess of the laborers was agi = (4-1) 600= $900.At the lowest pay permitted by law, the dcih= (5-4) 500 = $500 will be included and abc= acd = $50 will be deducted from the past overflow. The complete differ ence in laborers surplus will be, $500 - $50= +$450. Along these lines, the region acd and abc is going neither to firm nor to the workers. Consequently, the territory abd is the all out misfortune to the general public. The dollar estimation of this misfortune is acd + abc= $50+ $50 = $100. Henceforth, deadweight misfortune because of the lowest pay permitted by law approach is $100. Different variables influence the expense of building new street. This incorporates moving of old corner stores from the more established street to new courses. Moving of corner stores heavily affects the part of cost working of the new street. The factor incorporates building a suitable spot next to the street for the service stations. Service stations are worked at a spot where there is an arrangement for supplies to store the gas. The spot ought to be protected and it ought to be effectively available to the vehicles. The corner stores must have appropriate streets and offices to convey the gas to t he vehicles. These requires high measure of assembling costs and the legislature needed to manufacture these arrangements for the service stations. The legislature additionally needed to set up billboard and headings of the petroleum siphon, with the goal that the vehicles can have a thought of the recently constructed petroleum siphons. Another significant factor that would be treated as a part of the expense of building the new street is demonstrating these petroleum siphon in the maps and GPRS framework (Li et al. 2013). The administration needed to speak with the individual divisions to redesign the areas of the new petroleum siphon. Another factor that could be treated as a segment of the expense of building new street is crushing the old petroleum siphons and the conveying cost of the gas from the old stations to new stations. These variables require high security measures. They are exceptionally estimated, in this manner expanding the expense of building. On account of the ge neral public, the money saving advantage examination is a legitimate strategy that encourages a general public to settle on a choice identified with any entangled issue. The money saving advantage investigation is mostly founded on the expense of activity contrasted with its advantage. The expanded deals of the neighborhood business can be surveyed by figuring just as thinking about the advantages against the expense. For this situation, the examiner needs to think about the significant timeframe (Roosen 2014).The expert needs to set up the base just as the applicable period so as to ascertain the expense and the advantage. The neighborhood business will be profited by the Raven games if the minimal advantage rises to the peripheral expense. In the above chart, it very well may be seen that the negligible cost rises to the peripheral advantage at the point Q. The excess is most elevated at the harmony that is at point 1. Now, the minimal advantage will be not exactly the peripheral expense. Notwithstanding, at point - 1 the peripheral advantage will more than the minor expense and subsequently, the overflow will be lost. This will thus prompt wastefulness. The government assistance moms are required to pay just $3 consistently for a youngster. Be that as it may, this administration requires the government assistance moms to sit tight for a more drawn out period. The government assistance mother consents to hang tight for that long, which proposes that the government assistance moms have the readiness to pay over $3 every day so as to obtain this administration. Therefore, the government assistance mother who gets the advantage of day care administration by accepting the administration will consider this administration important of more than $30,000. Be that as it may, none of the government assistance moms has the ability to pay $30 for a kid on every day premise. This thusly recommends the worth that the worth got by the government assistance moms is under $3 0,000. The government assistance moms who are not ready to pay the sum can't be compelled to do as such because of the absence of the data and the advantages of the program. Consequently, it very well may be presumed that the government assistance moms have the likelihood to be generous over either $3,000 or under $3,000. a) The income of the district is Price Quantity.The income of the region when it charges no affirmation expense for the hockey field is ($0 300) = $0. The zone ADF is completely acquired by the visitors.The income of exclusive hockey field that charges $5 for affirmation is, ($5 100) =$500. The region BCDE is the income gathered by the exclusive hockey field. b) The interest bend shows that the cost and amount are conversely identified with one another, as value ascends from zero the quantity of guests falls. In future, the exclusive hockey field will want to charge confirmation expense instead of no affirmation charge. This is on the grounds that; with no affirmat ion charge, the quantity of guests will be higher however the firm will win no profit by the hockey field. On the off chance that it charges some confirmation expense over the $0, it will pick up income, for example net profit by the hockey field. Be that as it may, the advantages of the guests will be diminished. Because of burden of affirmation charge, the amount that is the quantity of guests will be diminished. On the off chance that the cost is excessively high, there will be no guests and the gross advantage will be zero once more (Eggert et al. 2014). Thus, the private hockey field will charge a cost, where it can expand its gross advantage. The commitment of the import assessment will have the impact on the residential oil showcase that is given as follows:The amount utilization and its change:- 1 = ( q/p) (p/q) q = (- 1) p (q/p) q = (- 1) ($ 30) (6 billion)/($ 90) q = - 2 billion. Household flexibly and its change for oil: 0.25 = ( q/p) (p/q) q = (0.25) p (q/p) q = (0.25) ( $3

This means that you get an additional layer of security for your website at no additional cost.But that’s not all. BlueHost also offers unmetered bandwidth, meaning that you will not be charged on the basis of disk space of bandwidth used. This can come quite handy if you are just starting your online business and you don’t have an idea of the resources you are going to use. Of course, unmetere d doesn’t really mean that you can go crazy on the resources. There are certain terms of services that your site needs to comply with.Further, BlueHost also offers a free domain with all its packages (even the basic one), provided you buy at least 12 months of any hosting plan. This is certainly a plus point as there are only a few companies currently offering this, so kudos to that. As you go up the ladder, the benefits in each package start to increase. All the packages (except for the basic one) offer unlimited websites, meaning that you can host an unlimited number of websites with your hosting plan.Furthermore, the benefits also include:Spam experts1 Office 365Mailbox - free 30 daysDomain privacy + protectionSite Backup - CodeGuard BasicDedicated IPIn order to get all these benefits, you will need to select the Pro plan. However, the Plus and Choice Plus plans do have some of the above-mentioned benefits.In the BlueHost vs GoDaddy comparison, BlueHost wins this round by a m ile!Similar to BlueHost, GoDaddy offers four shared hosting plans and the pricing of these are as follows:Economy $5.99/moDeluxe $7.99/moUltimate $12.99/moMaximum $19.99/moKeep in mind that you’ll only get these prices if you choose to pay a 3-year fee upfront! So, we have a clear winner in terms of pricing: BlueHost. If you are short on budget and cannot pay for 3-years upfront, you will need to pay the following prices:Economy $10.99/moDeluxe $12.99/moUltimate $19.99/moMaximum $28.99/moGoDaddy does not allow users to pay month-to-month for the Economy Plan, and this price is based on a 3-month minimum term. The other prices are based on a 1-month term. As you can clearly see, there is a big difference in terms of prices and that’s not all. Wondering why GoDaddy is charging such higher prices? Let’s find out; Similar to other top hosting companies, you’ll get a free domain if you buy any plan for at least 1 year, so there are no surprises here. Further, you can enjoy unmete red bandwidth with any package you choose. However, if you need unlimited storage, then you must choose the Deluxe or higher packages as the Economy package only offers 100 GB of storage. With regard to the other benefits, GoDaddy doesn’t offer a free SSL certificate with its basic packages and you need to pay an additional $10 annually if you opt for the Economy or Deluxe package. Things do get better if you choose the Ultimate or Maximum package in terms of other benefits (think Free Premium DNS) but if those packages are too expensive or not what you need, then you are stuck with paying $10 per annum for a basic benefit that other companies offer for free. So, why exactly does GoDaddy charge more than other companies? The answer: 2x processing power and memory. For the Ultimate and Maximum packages, GoDaddy offers 2 CPUs and 1 GB of RAM, meaning your website(s) will enjoy an improved page load speed and rapid server response times. Furthermore, these packages are built to handl e maximum traffic. No matter how many visitors your site gets, it will not go offline unlike with other cheap hosting providers. Judging by this, we have to say that GoDaddy have a slight edge over BlueHost in this department.It is fair to say that GoDaddy has put a lot of thought into naming their packages, and you do need to get the maximum package in order to enjoy maximum benefits. With the Maximum package, you will get:Free SSL certificate for the full term2x maximum site traffic2x more power and memoryPlus, all the benefits of the Ultimate package are included. The packages of BlueHost seems to be a better deal if you are on a tight budget and just starting out your new online business. However, for sites with huge traffic, GoDaddy might be more suitable.

You can choose from 3 different packages:Basic $3.95/moPlus $5.45/moChoice plus $5.95/moThese are the lowest prices you can get (excluding VAT) if you choose to pay for 3 years upfront.However, if you wish to buy hosting for one year only, then you are required to pay:Basic $7.99/moPlus $10.99/moChoice plus $14.99/moThe Basic package allows you to host only one website, so if you are looking to host several sites, your best choice would be Plus or Choice Plus packages as they offer unlimited number of websites to be hosted.BlueHost hasn’t specified the amount of traffic each package can handle.All the packages come with a free SSL certificate, free domain and unmetered SSD storage except for the Basic package, which is capped at 50 GB SSD storage.One thing we particularly like about BlueHost is the $200 marketing credit that comes with any plan you choose. This means you will get $100 for Microsoft advertising and $100 for Google Ads if you spend $25 on advertising with your new account.Apart from this, BlueHost also offers automatic WordPress installation and automatic updates. These features can come quite handy if you are not a developer.As expected, GoDaddy charges more than BlueHost in this department as well. For WordPress hosting, you can choose from the following four packages:Basic $6.99/moDeluxe $9.99/mUltimate $12.99/moEcommerce $15.99/moThese are the best prices that you can only get by paying for three years upfront. However, if you wish to buy hosting for a year (and these prices are at a discount too), then the pricing of the packages is:Basic $7.99/moDeluxe $10.99/moUltimate $17.99/moEcommerce $19.99/moAgain, GoDaddy looks well beaten in terms of pricing. Furthermore, these packages only offer hosting 1 website; in order to add more websites on your hosting plan, you will need to pay an additional amount ( or you can look at their Pro plans, starting from $24.99/mo). What’s even worse is that these packages come with a certain cap as to the amount of visitors your site can handle. You get:Basic: up to 25k visitorsDeluxe: up to 100k visitorsUltimate: unlimited visitorsEcommerce: unlimited visitorsThere is some respite here as GoDaddy offers daily backups and automatic daily malware scans. So, at least, your site can stay safe from the hackers.If you need added security, then maybe you can choose one of the GoDaddy WordPress hosting packages. However, BlueHost is not too bad in that department as well.So, for this round, BlueHost is the clear winner.

You can choose from four packages, listed below:Launch $24.99/moEnhance $34.99/moGrow $44.99/moExpand $54.99/moThese prices are applicable only if you choose to pay for 3-years upfront. If you wish to buy hosting for only a year, then you are required to pay:Launch $26.99/moEnhance $38.99/moGrow $50.99/moExpand $62.99It is quite evident that GoDaddy allows more flexibility and a slightly better pricing when compared to BlueHost. But let’s find out the benefits you will get: RAM:Launch package 2 GB RAMEnhance package 4 GB RAMGrow package 6 GB RAMExpand package 8 GB RAMYou also get 1, 2, 3 and 4 CPU cores respectively depending on the package you pick.

Then try getting dedicated hosting. With dedicated hosting, you can get full control of a server. This means, you can customize the server's resources according to your business needs. Other benefits include: additional security, reliability, and hassle-free maintenance.BlueHost offers 3 packages for dedicated hosting, and if you choose to a 3-year plan, you will get the following prices:Standard $79.99/moEnhanced $99.99/moPremium $119.99/moIf you don’t want to pay for 3-years upfront and wish to take it year by year, then these prices jump up to:Standard $199.99/moEnhanced $159.99/moPremium $209.99/moDedicated hosting is the best thing your site can have, so expect nothing but top of the line performance.Here’s what you will get depending on the package you select:Hardware configuration:Standard: 4 cores @ 2.3 GHz with 4 GB of RAMEnhanced: 4 cores @ 2.5 GHz with 8 GB of RAMPremium: 4 cores @ 3.3 GHz with 16 GB of RAMYou also get a mirrored disk storage of 500 GB, 1 TB and 1 TB respectively.As for the bandwidth, BlueHost seems to impose restrictions, but it is fair to say that they offer a generous bandwidth that should be efficient for any business needs.The bandwidth allocated to each package is as follows:Standard: 5 TB bandwidthEnhanced: 10 TB bandwidthPremium: 15 TB bandwidthFurther, you also get 3, 4 and 5 IP addresses respectively.GoDaddy is quite famous for providing top of the line dedicated servers with slightly more flexible packages.You can choose from the following four packages and these are monthly equivalent payments for a 3-year term:Economy: $89.99/moValue: $104.99/moDeluxe: $129.99/moUltimate: $179.99/moIf you wish to reduce the purchasing term for only 1 year, then the monthly equivalent payment will be:Economy: $159.99/moValue: $189.99/moDeluxe: $239.99/moUltimate: $339.99/moCompared to the pricing of BlueHost, GoDaddy seems to be charging more. But are thes e prices justified?Let’s find out:Hardware configuration:All the packages come with a super-fast CPU with 4 cores @ 3.1 GHz; however, the allocated RAM memory increases with each package as you go up the ladder. The RAM memory allocated to each package is as follows.Economy: 4 GB of RAMValue: 8 GB of RAMDeluxe: 16 GB of RAMUltimate: 32 GB of RAMIn terms of storage, GoDaddy offers more of it, meaning that your business will never run out of disk space.The storage offered in each package is as follows:Economy: 1 TB storageValue: 1.5 TB storageDeluxe: 2 TB storageUltimate: 2 TB storageBut the thing that bugged me is that GoDaddy hasn’t specified as to whether they’ll be providing HD or SSD. Assuming it’s 2020, we can say that they will be using SSDs but we are not entirely sure.The best thing I like is the fact that GoDaddy offers unmetered bandwidth for any package you select, meaning that your site will never have any issues regarding bandwidth allocation, so this is definite ly a plus point here.Additional benefits include:Multiple IP addresses, 24/7 monitoring, patching and an option to choose between a managed plan or an unmanaged one.

The only way to see how much a renewal will cost you is by going to your Cpanel after registering your domain.By default, domains are set to auto renew according to the initial term unless selected otherwise in the Cpanel manually.Judging by this, we have to declare GoDaddy a clear winner here.These are the prices that your domain extension will renew at, NOT the introductory offers (green denotes the cheaper option):When it comes to domain registration, GoDaddy is one of the oldest and most trusted names in the industry. Not only do they offer great initial pricing for the 1st year, but you also get better renewal pricing as compared to other top companies:.com $17.99/YR.website $29.99/YR.tech $27.99/YR.net $14.99/YR.biz $24.99/YR.site $39.99/YR.co $11.99/YR.us $19.99/YR.org $10.99/YR.club $17.99/YR.info $21.99/YRAnd you can get other domain extensions as well for your website.

Reseller hosting comparisonBlueHost 2.5/5 GoDaddy 4/5When you click on the reseller hosting plans, BlueHost seems to take you to another site called “resellerclub.com”. Assuming that these two are linked together, here is the pricing of reseller hosting plans that you can get for a 3-year term:R1: $10.99/moR2: $14.49/moR3: $16.49/moR4: $25.49/moOne good thing about the above-mentioned plans is that you get the same pricing for every package even if you reduce the purchase term to 1-year. Honestly speaking, this was a good surprise for me as it’s quite common in the hosting industry to charge more for a shorter-term plan.The benefits that you will get from the above plans are:Free SSL certificates (which is quite common in the industry)Unlimited emailsUnlimited cPanels accountsFree WHMCS (except for R1 package)Coming towards disk space and data transfer, each plan has its own limit, which is:R1 comes with a 40 GB disk space and 800 GB data transfer.R2 comes with a 50 GB disk space and 1000 GB data transfer.R3 comes with a 100 GB disk space and 2000 GB data transfer.R4 comes with a 200 GB disk space and 4000 GB transfer.Since we are not entirely sure about the services of resellerclub and there is a lack of information available on the site regarding the hardware configuration of the servers, we’ll have to say that the advantage goes to GoDaddy.Unlike BlueHost, GoDaddy has a dedicated page for reseller hosting plans.You can select from 4 different plans and the monthly equivalent p ayments for a 3-year term are:Enhance: $39.99/moGrow: $49.99/moExpand: $64.99/moEstablished: $89.99/moIn case you opt for a 1-year term, monthly prices will jump up to:Enhance: $54.99/moGrow: $74.99/moExpand: $99.99/moEstablished: $129.99/moThe pricing of these packages seems to be a bit on the higher side; however, you do get full value for your money.The benefits include:Free SSL certificatesUnlimited websites and databasesUnlimited cPanel accountsFree WHMCSAnd most importantly, you get unmetered bandwidth!As far as hardware configuration goes, you will get:CPUs and RAM:Established: 2 CPUs with 4 GB of RAMGrow: 3 CPUs with 6 GB of RAMExpand: 4 CPUs with 8 GB of RAMEstablished: 4 CPUs with 16 GB of RAM.There is also a storage limitation on each package and packages offer 90 GB, 120 GB, 150 GB and 240 GB of storage respectively.Based on the clear hardware configuration information given and the years of trust that GoDaddy has developed among its vast customer base, we definitely rec ommend GoDaddy, even though the pricing is a little on the higher side.
