Billing Cycle
The recurring period for which hosting services are billed, such as monthly or annually, helping customers manage budgets and providers handle renewals.
A billing cycle is the regular schedule on which your hosting provider charges you for services. It can be monthly, quarterly, or yearly, depending on the plan you choose. Shorter cycles offer flexibility, while longer ones often come with discounts. Understanding your billing cycle enables you to forecast and plan payments, avoid surprise renewals, and prevent service interruptions. Hosting companies use it to manage renewals and ensure consistent service. Think of it like a subscription for your digital space—pay on time and your site stays live, miss a payment and everything goes dark until it's settled.
