- Free domain is only free for the first year, then charges standard domain renewal price
- Domain privacy is free only for the first year on Business+ plans, then billed annually
- SiteLock/backup/CodeGuard style add-ons and Pro Email upsells prompted during and after checkout
- Longer contract terms (36-month) required to get the lowest advertised intro price
