Does you page layout and content change or is it stable year after year (effective web sites do change and evolve regularly)? Your answer to my question should answer your question.

Without doing a thorough analysis of the services offered I can't explain the cost differential, but web hosting is a VERY competitive business and it is unlikely that any vendor is going to get too far out of line in pricing their services. They may package them differently and use different titles but the bottom line price for equivalent levels of service will almost always be in the same small ballpark.

MalwareBytes for iOS/iPadOS and Android is a very different animal from MalwareBytes for Mac or MalwareBytes for windows. On iOS/iPadOS. It provides Ad blocking. Text Message filtering, Call blocking, and Web protection.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
