Not at all. You can pay Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annually, Annually or 2 Years
at a time. You can also cancel at any time. The difference will be refunded in
most cases. (If you have a "Special Package" or a package offered at
a lower rate due to billing cycle then it is defined therein what your commitments
are.)

- I see some hosts offering
"unlimited bandwidth". Why don't you offer this?
Technically speaking, there is no such thing as "unlimited bandwidth."
Someone has to pay for the traffic somewhere - and if you check the fine print
of some service agreements from companies who claim to offer unlimited bandwidth,
you'll probably find that they do charge for traffic over a certain amount. We
dispense with the fine print.

for my domain?

- I uploaded my files, but I
don't see my page?
If our default "Welcome to the Future home of", index.html, has not
been replaced by another index page, then anyone going to domainname.com will
still see that page instead of some other home page. This is the order in which
the web server looks for a page to put up as the "home" page: >DirectoryIndex:
index.html, index.shtml Just delete the index.html file and anything after
it in this list will then come up automatically. Notice that "home.shtml"
is NOT on the list and so will not show up as your home page. You would need to
rename it.
