VPS Linux

The pricing model of the VPS Linux Product is based on discounts, depending on the number of months any Plan's Order is purchased and renewed for. This feature is referred as Telescopic Pricing.

Set VPS Linux Plans Selling Price (Anchor: plans)

Hostgator China allows you to set Telescopic Price ranges for all VPS Linux Adds and Renewals for each Plan. This simply means that you may offer your Customers and Sub-Resellers increased discounts as and when they may choose to add / renew their VPS Linux Orders with you for multiple months.

Example:

Suppose that your Cost Price for Plan VPS 1 is USD 5 per month. Depending upon your business model, you may set your Selling Price for 12 months as USD 10 per month. Now, if a Customer wished to add a Hosting Order under Plan VPS 1 for 36 months, he would be charged USD 360 (USD 10 per month). However, with the Telescopic Pricing model, you may set a reduced price of say, USD 8 per month. In this way, your Customer is charged USD 288 instead of USD 360, thus, availing a discount for purchasing for a longer duration.
