Lets face it, we are all guilty of doing it. Skimming over or just clicking agree when signing up to a online service. However, I cannot stress how important it is to read these terms properly.

I’ve lost count the number of reviews that are submitted to this site where the reviewer complains that they have been billed again, charged a fee to move a domain or been charged because their site has gone over their bandwidth allocation. After taking sometimes just 2 minutes to read through the hosting company’s terms and conditions, its becomes obvious that the reviewer hasn’t read the terms and before signing up.

Some companies can have what would seem pretty draconic terms and conditions, however by clicking “I AGREE“, you are agreeing to fees, billing practices and anything else that may be contained in those terms.

The important message is, if you don’t agree to any of the terms outlined in their terms and conditions page, don’t sign up with that particular web hosting company.
