A full miva license is $595 per mall.There is an additional license fee for adding stores(domains) to the mall.This is a license you own and take it with you to wherever you host.You will also need the miva empresa engine on the server and it's probably about the same price.But many hosts bundle a license with the hosting package for as little as $30/mo. The difference is you don't take this license with you. It stays with the host.This doesn't mean you can't move your store,just that you need a new license when you do move to a new miva enabled host.Miva enabled simply means the host is running the miva empressa engine.You can find who they are at http://www.miva.com/.
Miva mia is still available from miva corp. and still free.
