If you ever lose both your login & access to the email address from which you signed up, you will lose everything you host with nearlyfreespeech.
I was trying to help a friend recover his own site after the pre-paid credit expired. A mutual journo friend had set it up years earlier but lost access to an old email address. It was down because the pre-paid credit had expired, but wouldn't even take payment from someone they didn't know to get it back up.
Support wouldn't empathise or even help "in principle", i.e. "Given that we've lost access to the original email address that our friend signed up with, how can we go about recovering this account, give you some money saving the domain"? The answer was essentially: we don't care, you're dead to us.
I run an ISP in the UK that takes backup contact options, so I was trying to go through what options they _might_ have to help, but they weren't interested.
Cheap is good, especially when you're setting up sites for friends, but always think twice about the support you might need years down the line.
