Overview
We built Waegis without primary commercial goals. While commercial goals were in
our mind, we also wanted to provide a world's first class internet service and also
help the web when it was seriously challenged by spammers.
Waegis is a professional service and should require some monthly charges to be up
like the charge of maintenance and hosting. Without a reliable hosting, Waegis is
naturally failed!
So in order to have a balance between our goals and the requirements, we chose an
experienced solution and that is offering free services to personal and small sites
and commercial services to bigger sites. As the result, our free clients can help
advertise us to get more commercial clients and our commercial clients can help
us to make money to keep the service up. Of course, our commercial plans are even
cheaper than same offers from similar services.
Here we need to put some limitations on each plan and have some plus points for
commercial plans to attract users.
Here another question can come to your mind about the effectiveness of our services
for free plans. We would say that we always try to keep the best quality for our
plans so this doesn't have a big effect on our quality for free clients.
By the way, one of our main goals is to redefine our restrictions for our plans
regularly to make sure all users (free and commercial) can always benefit our services.
We also offer free and discounted commercial plans for academic and educational
sites. This is described later in this page.
As the final note, you would know that every user can add up to 5 sites to his or
her account but this can't contain more than 3 free sites.
Accounting System
So how we have implemented our accounting system and what are our parameters and
limitations?
We put our limitations on the maximum number of monthly API calls for an API key
and the number of site instances associated with it. We also provide a better uptime
for commercial plans and give them more priority over free plans. Our commercial
plans also have more quality because we apply more rules for checking their content.
Our system calculates API calls for a site in a month and automatically resets everything
every month for each site. Calls to initialize API method are not counted
for this purpose but calls to other API methods are counted.
Our commercial users can apply for a commercial account for a six month or one year
term. In the latter case you get one month for free.
Plans
Free
A Free account costs nothing and is suitable for personal and small sites like amateur
single user blogs or small multi-blog sites. We always try to satisfy all of our
users including free users.
Standard ($4.00/Month)
Standard commercial account is suitable for medium-size sites that get more traffic
like professional bloggers or sites with up to 30 blogs or forums and up to 15'000
API calls per month.
Professional ($25.00/Month)
A Professional account is very suitable for sites that get a normal traffic but
have more site instances. So if your site has up to 100 blogs or forums, this is
the best plan for you with up to 50'000 API calls per month.
Enterprise ($80.00/Month)
Enterprise account is offered for big sites with many instances and much traffic.
This plan allows up to 150'000 API calls per month and up to 250 site instances.
Custom (Over $100.00/Month)
We also have a Custom commercial plan for bigger sites that can't find an appropriate
solution for their needs in our default commercial plans. You can
contact us and describe your case and hopefully we'll end up with the best
plan and least possible price for you.

How to Try for Commercial Plans
If you login to your account on Waegis, you'll see a grid of your sites in the dashboard.
We have listed the account type for each site and it has a link. By clicking on
the account type name you'll navigate to proceed with the order process.
After confirming your payment, we'll apply your plan change in a few hours.
Payment Method
As you can guess, we have only one payment method but the most common and popular
method which is PayPal. You can pay for your
commercial accounts via PayPal and this is a very secure and reliable method.
PayPal is supported in many countries around the globe and you can apply for an
account just for free.
However, if you have difficulties for paying via PayPal or can't pay with this service,
we're still flexible to hear from you so
contact us.
Hosting Companies
Waegis offers much cheaper prices than many other services for hosting companies.
We're ready to set you up for a commercial account with the best price that is possible.
Just contact us and we'll be in touch
quickly.
Academic and Educational Use
We want to help the world and make a cleaner web so don't want to restrict people
from using our services just for money stuff!
We have a program that offers free or discounted commercial plans to academic and
educational sites and communities. If you're running an academic site or an educational
community and would like to use our commercial services, don't hesitate to contact
us and we'll be more than happy to help you.
Non-Profit Use
Waegis also offers free and discounted commercial accounts to non-profit sites that
need more API calls per month but don't make money. You can
contact us and be sure that we'll satisfy you.
Discounts
Right now we just offer permanent discounts for those who apply for a one year term
commercial account. In this case one month is free.
We may also offer seasonal discounts so you need to follow our
blog for announcements.
