But if you use my special partner discount, you can get your hosting for just $2.95 per month. And, you’ll also get a free domain, too!

On the other hand, WordPress Business is a subscription-based service that you have to pay $25 per month.

The price for WordPress Business is significantly more expensive than regular hosting, but you might find that the few extra bucks for on-call support invaluable to you and your business.
