This is just a question to all web hosts, or anyone in a business when they charge clients for monthly periodic payments. When a user subscribes to a service, do you:

1. Charge them a percentage of the days until the end of the month they signed up, then periodically bill everyone at the end/beginning of each month?

OR

2. Charge each client at different times periodically month to month, based on the day of the month they signed up?

I actually decided to go with the later, because I just thought it was better for clients, however it is also much more complex tracking when everyone's payment is due. I wonder if I made the right decision. What in your own opinions are the benefits and disadvantages of each method?

Kind regards,
