Are Lifetime Hosting Plans For Real?

One of sensational new arrivals on the World Wide Web in recent times is the introduction of lifetime hosting plans. This is exactly as the term implies - you pay once and get hosted for a lifetime. It is said that you can, for instance, be asked to pay a $100 one-time fee for a lifetime hosting plan. Some marketers of this new phenomenon have even added a rider, unlimited bandwidth.

Many entrepreneurs and webmasters have quite rightly had various problems with this new hosting business model. If truth be told we have had many revolutionary business models on the World Wide Web in recent times. Many of the most successful web hosting businesses have launched marketing campaigns that involved giving clients an amazing amount of valuable services for a small fee or even for free. This latest development in web hosting plans could be one such brand new business model. The big question is what happens when this brand new business model goes belly up?

Even the way in which most of these plans are sold over the net leaves doubts and questions, without answers. For instance, this hot new hosting plan is mostly sold off single sales pages, where there isn't too much detail about how to get in touch with the Webmaster. Then there is no money back guarantee or proof that it actually works. Gambling with your web site's reputation is not something to be taken lightly and these lifetime hosting plans might be just that - a gamble.
