We have all see these deals from time to time "Lifetime Web Hosting! Pay one price for the lifetime of your account!" On the surface the deal seems to be good. There are several questions you should ask yourself before you consider such a deal,How long will you have your web hosting account?The first question to ask yourself is how long will you have a hosting account for the particular site you are building? The way most lifetime hosting offers work is they determine how long (in months) an average customer stays with their company and multiply that number by their monthly selling price for a web hosting account.

Is your web site going to require a lot of resources?If you plan on having a web site that has a high amount of traffic, or will actively use a database, you may want to re-think your purchase. What is the refund policy of the hosting company?Since many of the servers in these lifetime hosting companies are overloaded, they usually take a zero tolerance policy on any web site that causes any extra load on the server, which may cause it to crash, and it can be a one strike and your out, with no refund.Do you expect a high level of customer service?The quality of the customer service goes along with the theme of reducing expenses. One of the first places most customers experience in expense cutting is the level of customer service. Much of the time, customer service is outsourced and overseas.
