Why Is the Price for a Renewal Higher Than That for a New Purchase?

Possible reasons include:

• You bought the product at a promotional price, which is not applicable to renewals.
• You bought the product as part of a promotional package, which is not applicable to renewals.
• You bought the product at a discount, which is not applicable to renewals.
• You renewed the product for a period different from the original subscription. For example, if your original subscription was for a month but you are renewing it for a full year.
• The price has changed.
• You bought the product together with its associated and attached resources (for example, a host, a system disk, a data disk, and IP bandwidth), but you are only renewing its associated resources (only the host, system disk, and data disk).
