Signing up and paying for Web Hosting

It is an industry standard for web hosting companies to advertise their rates as per month, such as $2.99/mo, but in actuality they only accept annual payments.  Some people are a little surprised by this, but all it takes is a little research and you will quickly see that most web hosting companies follow this practise. One of my favorite web hosts is WebHostingPad. They advertise an amazing price of $1.99/mo.  The full details of this plan are as follows:  1 Year prepayment: $4.95/mo., 2 Year prepayment: $2.75/mo., 3 Year prepayment: $1.99/mo.  Now 3 years can sound like a long time, but when you actually stop and do the math, you are buying 3 years of web hosting for less than $72! That is an amazing return for your dollar.
