Pricing


0% transaction fee

We believe that business owners should do what they do best, manage their business, while we should do what we do best, bring it online. This principle has been paramount to us throughout the development process of Zhibit.biz and is also evident in our pricing model. WE DON'T CHARGE YOU FOR YOUR WORK; ONLY FOR OURS. This means that Zhibit LLC does not charge transaction fees for selling your products and services, but instead only a flat fee for the service of putting them online.

Free trial period

Subscription to Zhibit.biz comes with a free trial period commencing at the time your subscription is initiated. While your website is not visible to the public during this trial period, it is fully functional and you are able to custom build it in any fashion you want. Any data you upload to the site and any customizations you apply to it are preserved and will remain in effect once you activate your account. The trial period is our way of giving you time to try out the service risk-free. It is meant for you, not for us. Your website will become visible the second you activate your account and payment has been received.

Rate freeze guarantee

Zhibit LLC reserves the right to modify or discontinue subscription plans. You are however guaranteed that your rate will never increase as long as you stay on a particular plan, even if that plan is discontinued. Nevertheless, if you switch from a discontinued plan, you may not be able to switch back to it.

Zhibit LLC may offer certain subscription plans free of charge. Such plans are excluded from the rate freeze guarantee and we reserve the right to discontinue them at any time without the possibility of renewal beyond the original term of the subscription.

Refund policy

Due to the automated nature of the subscription process, Zhibit LLC cannot generally provide refunds for unused portions of subscription periods. We do however prorate any unused time when you switch between subscription plans so that you always get the time you've paid for. Please be aware of this policy when choosing a long-term plan.

If you believe your situation warrants special consideration please contact us and explain your reasons. In justified cases we will issue you a prorated refund within no more than 2 weeks of your request.

Domain registration

Zhibit LLC is not a registrar of domain names and subscription to Zhibit.biz does not include domain name registration. If you choose to link a private domain to your website on Zhibit.biz, you will have to register that domain separately and additional costs may be involved.
