Web hosting is an integral part of when we design our website, but mostly we ignore the fact as we get it bundled in package for the first year with many of the service providers, The real crux starts form 2nd year onwards when the renewal for the entire system comes and we are astonished at the web hosting and domain cost charged by our service provider.
The fact of the matter is that due to several competition service providers start earning from the 2nd year onwards as the first year is completely expended over developing your website plus serving you for a complete year at a very negligible cost . The second year billing is mainly divided into
e.g: Current rate for godaddy economic hosting is Rs 219/month = Rs 2,700/year
which is not the cheapest but due to the per month value shown looks as the cheapest, These companies charge you annually so you are infact billed Rs 2,700/year and you still claim that you got the best deal.
This is the way hosting companies manipulate the prices and hide the actual cost.
Thus while selecting any hosting company or provider its always better if you ask for cost and any hidden charges that you may have to pay from 2nd year onwards for the services.
Don't be fooled for companies offering rock bottom per month prices as they always have a catch attached to them.
