Maxanet keeps its base monthly subscription fee low by spreading infrastructure costs across clients through a pageview surcharge on high-traffic accounts. Clients with under 10,000 monthly pageviews pay just the base subscription. Clients over 10,000 pageviews pay a tiny per-pageview fee on the excess. Total monthly Maxanet invoices are capped at $850 so even very busy clients with millions of pageviews never pay more than that cap.

Maxanet's pricing model is designed to give every client — large or small — access to top-of-the-line 24/7 servers without charging everyone a large flat fee. To do this, Maxanet spreads infrastructure costs by charging a pageview surcharge on any calendar month where your public auction pages receive more than 10,000 unique pageviews. Clients under 10,000 pageviews pay only the base subscription fee.

For every unique pageview over 10,000 in a calendar month, Maxanet charges $0.005 (one half of one cent) per pageview. That's $5 per additional 1,000 pageviews, which scales linearly with traffic.

Some Maxanet clients run dozens of large auctions per month and generate millions of pageviews, which would add up to a high surcharge under the per-pageview rate. To prevent that, Maxanet caps the total monthly invoice at $850.00 regardless of how high your pageview count goes. Even a client generating 10 million pageviews in a month never pays more than $850 total for that month.

10,000 unique pageviews in a calendar month. Below that, you pay only the base subscription with no surcharge.

$0.005 (half a penny) per pageview over 10,000 in a calendar month. That's $5 per additional 1,000 pageviews.

Yes. Maxanet caps total monthly invoices at $850, even for clients generating millions of pageviews. You will never pay more than $850 in a single month regardless of traffic.

Unique pageviews. The surcharge is based on unique pageviews, not total pageviews.

It keeps the base subscription fee low for smaller clients who haven't yet built up much traffic, while asking high-traffic clients to contribute proportionally to infrastructure costs. Newer clients rarely hit the 10,000 threshold at all.
