Fee terms

CORRECTED 2026-08-01. This entry previously said "no rate published", and the review page built from it told readers that any percentage attributed to MasterHost was a third-party estimate. That was wrong. MasterHost publishes a three-tier price list on every city page and puts the entry rate in the page header - "Fees from 8%" in Seattle, "Fees from 10%" in Miami and New York, "Fees from 12%" on the homepage. The tiers themselves are Basic 10% / Full 12% / Premium 15% in Miami, New York and Lisbon, with an Online tier at 8% in Seattle and 12/15/18% in its home market of Vancouver. The first check read only the homepage revenue-forecast widget and concluded there was no price; the price was one click away, on every city page.
