Paying for your hosting plan annually is an excellent idea. Paying annually saves you time and money. This sounds good and logical, but at the same time it is not just nice words. At WNPower we are here to simplify the matter of maintaining a website, ecommerce or blog, and one of our premises is that you don’t have to deal with administrative issues or reminding you about billing your account all the time.
If you are still not convinced about paying annually for your services, let us tell you in a few lines why paying annually in advance for your hosting is more beneficial for your business. This note is valid both if you host your website with WNPower, as well as if you work with another web hosting provider, since the payment conditions are usually similar. We just want to show you why it is the best for you commercially, physically and mentally.
Protects you from price changes in your plan month to month
In a world where technology services, supplies and software licenses tend to revalue, it is important that you can lock in the cost of your plan for an entire year. This will prevent you from being able to lock in the value until the next renewal if there is a change in the price of your package in the following months. When you make the annual prepayment of your hosting, what happens is that you cancel months and not “balance”, so if you bought your plan today and paid it as annual, you will not have any price variation or to pay proportional until your renewal date, if there is any change in the middle.
Paying annually for your hosting saves you money
It is normal that, in addition to locking your subscription for 12 months, you receive a discount as a courtesy. If you choose to work with WNPower, the discount we offer you on your hosting plan is the equivalent of two months of the service you are buying or already have active.
This means that you will pay 10 months instead of 12 months, and you will have a full year’s term covered. This is simply great, we take care of your wallet!
Annual payment saves you a lot of time
No more chasing after a bill payment every month. If you spend at least 5 minutes a month to pay your hosting bill, this means spending an hour or more a year. Although it may not seem like much, your time is precious and at WNPower we are well aware of that. We’d rather you invest that time in something more stimulating and productive.
Besides, if you run a business or organization, it will be one more invoice to be accounted for every month. More “paperwork” for your accountant, and more headache for you, when you should be thinking about something else.
Gives you the peace of mind you need
Not having to be thinking “Did I get my bill?”, “Is it past due?”, or “Did I pay my credit memo this month?”, is a problem solved. Although you will receive a series of notices and notifications when each invoice is generated so that you don’t miss the due date, this takes up space in your mind and doesn’t allow you to think about other things.
Even if you are not the most organized with the due dates of your services, your site could stop working because of forgetting to pay your invoice, or worse, it could be eliminated definitively if you were not so attentive to the notifications. If you host with WNPower we will try not to let this happen to you, but it is always a burden to deal with the same thing all the time.
Allows you to synchronize the renewal date with your domain name renewal date
If at the time of purchasing your hosting plan you also purchased a domain name, the renewal date of your hosting and your domain will be synchronized within the same month. This means that you will only have one or two expiration dates per year for your web page.
Well, today we learned what are the benefits of paying annually for your hosting plan. Although you will have to pay a little more money upfront, you will invest it in the predictability of your subscription, receive a discount, peace of mind and other additional benefits. Also, don’t forget to add the expiration dates of your services to your calendar so that they are included in your planning.
Free domain registration
If it is your first time creating a website and you need to buy a domain name at the same time as your hosting, then check if the package you are choosing includes domain registration; if it does, you are already saving yourself one more cost to get started with your web project. Before starting to create a new site, check the offer with your provider.
This other benefit is in addition to the previous one and will also be part of what we call “peace of mind” with the billing and payment issue of your hosting.
Final Conclusion
Well, today we learned what are the benefits of paying annually for your hosting plan. Although you will have to pay a little more money upfront, you will invest it in the predictability of your subscription, you will receive a discount, peace of mind and other additional benefits. Also, don’t forget to add to your calendar the expiration dates of your services so that they are included in your planning.
