Spoken in English, with captions in English and Arabic. The steps are also written out below.

## Steps (transcript)

1.

Check the renewal price, not only the first-term price: many hosts renew at two to five times more.

2.

Check how long you must prepay to get the advertised monthly price.

3.

Compare the total over the years you plan to stay, with SSL, backups and email included.

4.

At GlobalHostia the renewal price equals the price you pay, billed one year at a time, in AED or nine other currencies.

### لماذا GlobalHostia: السعر الذي تدفعه هو سعر التجديد

كيف تعمل أسعار الاستضافة فعلاً: التجديد والدفع المسبق الطويل وتكلفة ثلاث سنوات، مقارنة بالأسعار المعلنة لدى مزوّدين آخرين.

1.

تحقّق من سعر التجديد لا من سعر الفترة الأولى فقط: كثير من المزوّدين يجدّدون بسعر أعلى بمرتين إلى خمس مرات.

2.

تحقّق من مدة الدفع المسبق المطلوبة للحصول على السعر الشهري المعلن.

3.

قارن المجموع على السنوات التي تنوي البقاء فيها، مع SSL والنسخ الاحتياطية والبريد.

4.

في GlobalHostia سعر التجديد يساوي السعر الذي تدفعه، وتدفع سنة بسنة، بالدرهم أو بتسع عملات أخرى.
