The sentence and the bullets are generated from price, spec and measurement data; an editor only fixes the wording.

How we write this
Who wrote this sentence?
  • It is built from a template: the two strongest pluses, the two strongest minuses, then who it suits.
  • Every bullet comes from a single data field; if the field is unknown, the bullet is not written at all.
  • An editor only fixes the language — they cannot add or remove a bullet.

What you will pay

How we calculate
How we compute the real cost
  • The first term total plus the renewal price for the remaining months.
  • Coupon codes are excluded; treating a discount as permanent makes the cost look lower than it is.
  • Every line carries its capture date; if the renewal price is unknown we leave the figure blank rather than guess.

Frequently asked

derived from data
What do I pay first for PremiumSSL Wildcard?
The provider bills the annual term upfront: the first payment is $185.99, which works out at $15.50 a month.
What happens when the term ends?
Renewal is $16.67 a month, 1.1 times the first-term price. We took that figure from the provider’s pricing page on 11 Sep 2026.
Why is this plan's data confidence 65/100?
65 out of 100: renewal transparency 25/25, renewal terms 25/25, price position 2/20, spec completeness 5/15, term flexibility 8/15. It measures how complete our record is, not how good the plan is; speed and availability measurements do NOT feed it.
