When you buy an internet hosting account for your websites, you could find out that it doesn't match some requirements that your script-driven applications have, or if the Internet sites are not doing very well, you can decide that you will no longer want to run them, so you may end up having an account that you won't really use. In such a case, it will be good if you can close the account and get your money back as you won't be able to use the service for one reason or another. Some providers offer refunds - full or prorated, and some do not, so before you obtain a new account, it's good to check not only if the service will match your expectations and requirements, but also what refund guarantee the service provider has for possible refunds.
