if you think about static classes like the Math class you can use it in all
your Web application if you need to. The same idea is for a Static class
that you can develop. There are no demerits for this...

In general i use static class for utilitary clasess like getting a
personalized Date Format, because I don't want to be creating instances of
this classes for a simple activity.

class to be in the heap [guess], so it wont be affected by any garbage.
So when another user access the same application whether we are
accessing the same
