Field notes
The controls let readers change site count, storage, monthly visits, hosting type and the period they plan to keep a site, then compare the resulting plan totals. The page says its totals include the initial term and subsequent published renewals, while excluding tax and the domain; its worked example shows how a three-year total is assembled.
