Pricing features

Paid before the period

Combine filters →

Paying in advance fixes the maximum: whatever happens, the bill is the plan. The cost is elasticity, since capacity bought is capacity paid for whether or not it is used, and a traffic spike is a problem to solve rather than an invoice to swallow. For anyone working to a budget it is the safer arrangement, and it is the older one — most of the hosting industry was built this way.

61 providers take the money before the month it pays for, listed alphabetically. Mostly shared hosting, virtual private servers and vanity hosting, of 11 categories in all. 21 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.
