At Shinybot, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, professional websites that are affordable and hassle-free for our clients. To achieve this, we exclusively offer websites as a subscription-based service. This model not only reduces costs but also ensures ongoing support and the use of enterprise-level tools and systems. Here’s why this approach benefits you and what it means for your website.

1. Affordable and Predictable Pricing

Designing a professional, fully functional website often comes with a significant upfront cost. By offering websites as a monthly subscription service, we significantly reduce the financial barrier for our clients. Instead of requiring a large, one-time investment, our model spreads the cost across manageable monthly payments.

This subscription model allows businesses to access professional-grade web design, hosting, and support for a fraction of what they’d pay upfront for traditional web development.

2. Enterprise-Level Tools 

One of the standout advantages of partnering with Shinybot is access to the same tools and systems that large enterprises rely on. These tools include advanced themes, premium plugins, analytics, hosting solutions, and more.

  • Substantial Cost Savings: Many of these tools come with high licensing fees and are designed for businesses with significant budgets. As an individual, obtaining and managing these tools would likely exceed the total cost of your monthly subscription with Shinybot.
  • Shared Value: By bundling these enterprise-grade resources into our subscription model, we make the subscription costs accessible to businesses of all sizes without the need for additional investments.

This means you get the benefits of cutting-edge technology and services without the complexity or cost of managing them yourself.

3. Continuous Support and Maintenance

Shinybot’s subscription is more than a website—it’s a comprehensive service that includes:

  • Regular updates to themes and plugins to ensure compatibility and security.
  • Proactive monitoring and troubleshooting to minimize downtime.
  • Expert technical support whenever you need assistance.

This ongoing maintenance ensures that your website stays fast, secure, and functional, allowing you to focus on growing your business.

4. Flexibility and Scalability for Growth

Our subscription model allows you to scale your website as your business evolves. Whether you need additional features, design changes, or enhanced functionality, our subscription model provides the flexibility to adapt without incurring large costs.

5. Ownership and Access After Cancellation

When a Shinybot subscription is canceled, access to the website, including themes, plugins, and related services, is discontinued. This is because:

  • The subscription cost covers not only the creation of the website but also the continued use of our proprietary and enterprise-level tools and systems.
  • The tools and systems are licensed and maintained by Shinybot as part of our service model.
  • The affordability of our subscription reflects this structure—offering the same level of service on a standalone basis would involve significant upfront and ongoing costs.

Since the tools, systems, and services we use are integral to the website’s operation, they remain part of the Shinybot ecosystem and are not transferable upon cancellation.

6. Important Steps If You Manage Your Own Domain

If you manage your own domain name and plan to cancel your Shinybot website subscription, it’s essential to take the following steps to avoid disruptions:

  1. Update Your Name Servers (NS):

    • Before canceling, point your domain to the default name servers (NS) provided by your domain registrar or the ones recommended by your new hosting/service provider.
    • This ensures that your domain remains functional and connects to your new hosting service.

  2. Adjust Your MX Records for Email:

    • If you have email services tied to the same domain, update your MX (Mail Exchange) records to the settings required by your email provider.
    • This step is crucial to avoid any disruption in email delivery.
    • Here are some links to steps from two popular email providers.
      Fastmail
      Google Workspace Email

  3. Confirm Changes Are Complete:

    • Test your domain and email functionality to ensure the transition has been successful before canceling your subscription.

By completing these steps, you can ensure a smooth transition and avoid interruptions to your website and email services.

7. Why We Don’t Hand Off Websites

Our subscription model is designed to deliver enterprise-level value at a fraction of the cost, which is why we don’t transfer websites upon cancellation.

  • The tools, systems, and resources used to create and maintain your website are proprietary or require licenses that are managed by Shinybot.
  • Transferring these resources would require you to purchase individual licenses or services, which would likely exceed your subscription cost.
  • This approach allows us to maintain affordability and ensure high-quality service for all our clients.
