Prepay Account For Web Hosting

By Justin Knights

With the intense competition in among web hosting companies, more and more features are being introduced in their packages. One new thing that we can see is the cheaper monthly fees if you prepay your web hosting services for one year. Companies like LunarPages and Ipower will only require a fee of $7.95 a month if you prepay one year's subscription for your package. This is a move by web hosting companies to have their customers stay with them. With the additional money, the web hosting company will purchase additional equipment and servers. In other word, the clients who prepay their account sort of like pay for their servers with their initial payment.

For customers, they might wonder is this initial payment a smart move to do. For subscription, customers could make a choice of annual or biannual. With that, they could actually save 20-40% per month. However, there are risks that you must take, for instance, if the company provides bad service, you will be stuck with that and you will not be able to take or request back your prepaid money. There is another issue, if the company goes bankrupt, your money will go into the drain too.

If you want to prepay the hosting company to enjoy discounts, choose a reputable company which has been around for quite some time. This decreases your chance of loosing your money because reputable company will always improve their service. Do not giver in the cheap bargains because they often prove to be unreliable. Reputable companies also provide reliability that is essential for your website.

To check on the reputation of the companies out there, you could actually do it by looking through BBB which reports on the level of service provided by the companies out there. You can check the level of service and be sure that the service level is maintained. If the level drops, the company might be running into trouble or incapable of keeping their customers attach to them. With that, you can really find out which company is the right one for you.


Ever heard of Hostgator? For those who are starting off in the web hosting, I would recommend you to check out on their Baby gator hosting plan (Hostgator hosting package) as I believe they are one of the best. For detail review, visit HostgatorSecretRevealed.com.
