bluehost续费价格

今天帮一朋友续费，发现bluehost真的很怪异，第一次购买的时候，一年期价格是7.95，两年期的价格是6.95，看来确实比较便宜。然而续费的时候，一年期的价格变成了8.95，两年期的价格变成了7.95，就是每个月的价格上涨了一美金。虽然说涨价不多，但是会让用户感觉不爽，似乎bluehost就是一个陷阱，一旦进入，便可以任其宰割了，因为大多数用户不会因为这一美元而麻烦自己去转移自己的n个站点，续费的价格如下图：

下面是方才的livechat:

Luke [2:58:54 AM]: It shouldnt be
[2:59:14 AM]: We do increase the price,. But existing customers keep the plan that they signed up for.
cosbeta [3:01:27 AM]: Iyou use lower price to sell your service, and if you got the customer, your increase the price, which is not resonable!
Luke [3:05:44 AM]: If you signed up before the price went up you will not be increased to that amount.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer the new sign up price for the renewal of your account. As stated in the Terms of Service:
“Prices are limited time promotional prices (available to new subscribers only) and are valid only through the selected term. Subsequent terms will renew at the standard (non-promotional) rate at the time of renewal. All hosting packages are prepaid and renew automatically.”

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us.
