    Hypothetical Hosting Question...

    Lets say you start with a host and get a small hosting plan. You pay a few months in advance. Its a small virtual package to hold you over till you finish some design and get your foundation back in order.

    The host never sends you an invoice. Not even for the initial setup. You get a confirmation of activation. But no mention of the dollar amounts or anything.

    After that you never recieve a bill. The uptime is pretty good...but you never get a bill and you never get charged. Then again you're not pushing shit for traffic. Its mainly a dev area. But still you never recieve any invoices.

    You even go as far as to contact them and say, "Hey what's up, where the bills at?"

    Nothin, NADA.

    What do you do...what do you do if they try and slap you with a fat bill all at once?

    Find another host.

    If they can't send you a bill when you ask for one, how well do you think they'll respond to something when you need it done?

    It's not a big deal, I guess, but it's not a good sign that they got their shit together.

          Sounds strange that they aint sending you bills....

          all I would say is be careful as if you do leave them and find another host then they might be a bit pissed off and send you a HUGE bill.....

          But at the same time they might not............
          its a weird situation

                  I suggest you pick up the phone and call them! If that doesn't work, get a new host.

                          My host uses an online billing history/modification, etc... might wanna check to see if it's set up that way on your host..
