Some Quick Pointers:

PartnerSite Impact:
- The Pricing table for the Hosting product will be changed to incorporate the new Hosting Product. Once again, you will need to set the following page to default and then make any changes that you deem fit over here:
Manage Site » Edit/Translate Content Pages » Products » Pricing » Pricing.html
Impact on the Existing Product:
- The four existing plans will be replaced with the new single plan with Web Hosting + Email Hosting for $2.49.
