When you get a web hosting account for your sites, you may learn that it does not match some requirements which your script-driven applications have, or if your sites are not doing very well, you may choose that you no longer want to run them, so you could end up having an account that you will not really employ. In this case, it would be good if you can close the account and have your money back because you will not be able to use the service for one reason or another. Some providers give refunds - full or prorated, and others do not, so before you get your account, it is good to check not only if the service will meet your needs and requirements, but also what refund policy the service provider has regarding possible refunds.
