There is some discount in almost all the hosting services when you take hosting for 5 years and have you taken this 5 years hosting facility for any of your sites?
well,because i don't know whether this hosting is good or not,so when i buy it on the first time,though it has some discount for bought 5 years.i only buy one year to have a try.if it is used well,i will consider to buy several years one time.Quote:

It will be foolish or suicidal if any body will take long term hosting because you dont know about the quality and service of the hosting company and second thing is it will cost huge money .
you're right, even if we're dealing with a big company like hostgator, or other big web hosting site, we should be aware.Quote:

People thought that in order to save money then sign up for longer period like 5 years, but they never think that whether his site can last for that long or not, or whether the hosting company can last for that long time? it is just waste of money, if the hosting company just shutdown his business after some time, then we are losing money not saving.
Risk factor will be there everywhere , but we are seeing minimal risk all the time and here also some risk is there, but when it is dealing with reputed companies, risk is minimal for sureQuote:

in online business or dealing you can't tell any body as good why to take risk what is wrong if you will renew annually it may happen in next time you may get another good company giving better feature than current.Quote:

I'm not good at buying hosting, so I will not buy it 5 years in one time although there is a discount. if it is bad, you will lose more than the price for one year.
Well i think you should never buy a hosting for 5years even though it provides a great service.There may come some problems in future so better to keep away from using such coupons for long terms.
Yes, the takers are very less, but the fact is there are some takers of this 5 years scheme and i also don't mind taking this offer with discount in reputed serversQuote:

Sorry if i forget to mention it clearly in my post.I have edited it now.
I don't see members here is discussing about webhosting coupon, we are discuss about whether we will take for 5 years plan in order to save some money, Please reply to the thread, don't make senseless post here. Thanks.Quote:

Well, I think i will never buy 5 years hosting at a time. Technology is developing daily and price of computer is also decreasing at the same time. So, hosting price will always decrease than before. So, if you buy a hosting with $60 per year, after 2 year, you will get the same package for only $20 per year.
When you book for 5 years, there is always a discount factor which will come into effect and or else why will others will take that offer or even why will the hosting company offer then?Quote:

You are right and i always think twice and till now i have taken 5 years domain registration only once and i have been benifitted by that, but never tried it againQuote:

I read all your post in this thread, you mentioned that you only taken 3 years hosting before, and wont waste money to go for 5 years, but then now again, you said you taken 5 years before, please post only that if you really taken those offers, don't cheat post here. thanks.Quote:
