What's the best way to pay for your hosting?

[Heatman]

When it comes to paying for your hosting, how do you usually prefer to have it done? Do you go with playing annually, monthly or a few years combined? Also, what's your favourite means of making paying? Do you use PayPal, freight card or cryptocurrency as a means of payment?

How do you pay for your hosting services?

I pay for my main domains 2 years at a time.

I pay monthly for hosting. But I'm paying nearly $200 a month nowadays.

I pay yearly for my domain. I pay monthly for my server. I like paying monthly over yearly.

I pay up to 10 years for a solid domain that sends a message "This domain will only be yours for the right price", but generally, yearly so that renewals are scattered along with the sales that I do get from my portfolio - the sales help renewals, and if they were all at once, it wouldn't be sustainable with how sales come in. As far as hosting goes, since it's billed per hour, I only have the choice to pay per month or to make a deposit that they can deduct from, which I choose the former of paying what is owed.

As for everything, though, I pay on cash back cards. I earn $100-250/mo from cash back because I pay the entire balance off at the end of the month. It's a nice "quarterly bonus" when I decide to cash out.
