In order for Maxanet to provide our clients with both low monthly subscription fees and top of the line servers that are available 24/7, we spread out our infrastructure costs. We do this by charging a 'pageview surcharge' for clients who receive greater than 10,000 unique pageviews in a calendar month.
This helps both clients and Maxanet in a number of ways:
Newer clients rarely meet the 10,000 pageview threshold. This keeps their software cost at the bare minimum as they get started with their new auction platform.
Clients who meet the monthly pageview threshold pay just $0.005 (1/2 of a penny) per pageview over 10,000 for the Calendar month.
Some of our busier clients conduct dozens of large auctions each month and generate millions of pageviews. For this reason we cap the Maxanet monthly invoice to a maximum amount of $850.00.
