Hello. Well another question. I saw some hosts offering hosting plans for a price for life-time (no billing cycle). Is this type of hosting any good? Is it worth offering hosting for life-time fee?
Regards.

It is shady though, and I would avoid at all costs.

They charge a one time fee of $11.00 to set yu up a free hoting account with 25 MB's Web Space and unmonitored Bandwidth. You can also direct link to any of your image files that you have hosted there so you could use your images anywhere on the net like in forums and stuff.
I don't know how they do it, but they do it. I currently have like 3 free accounts with them and I never once had a problem with them being down or anything else for that matter.

Oh, and one more thing to concider. If you only pay a one time fee of $11.00 for a "life of the host" site like ms11.net and say they only lasted for like a year or so ... you still did good.
I think it's a great idea for a free host to do this because at least you get something ($) for setting up every new account that you could put towards your hosting bills. Doing the banner thing is only good for your clients that have a lot of hits, but what about the members that have very low traffic, or that set up a site and never promote it or do anything with it ... that can't make you any money.
