How the money-back

Open a support ticket from your client area within the 30 days and let us know you’d like a refund.

Get your money back

We’ll cancel the service and refund the hosting fee you paid for that plan.

Money-back guarantee

  • Applies to new web hosting, WordPress hosting, and Starter, Business and Enterprise Email plans.
  • Lite Email and reseller hosting plans are not covered by the money-back guarantee.
  • Domain names, domain transfers and other items bought separately are not refundable under this guarantee, because they are registered with third-party registries.
  • Your refund request must be made within 30 days of your payment for the plan.
  • Accounts that have been suspended or terminated for breaching our Terms of service or Acceptable use policy are not eligible.

Uptime guarantee

  • We guarantee your plan will be available at least 99% of each calendar month. That is roughly seven hours of downtime in a 30-day month, at most.
  • Uptime is measured by our own monitoring of the server your service runs on.
  • Scheduled maintenance that we announce in advance, outages caused by your own actions, code, plugins or account suspension, and events outside our reasonable control are not counted as downtime.
  • If we fall short of 99% in a month, open a support ticket and we’ll review the monitoring records and put it right.

These guarantees sit alongside our Terms of service.

A few things you might be wondering

Quick answers.
No surprises.

Something else on your mind?

Talk to our team
Does the money-back guarantee cover domains?

No. Domain names are registered with third-party registries, so domain registrations and transfers are not part of the money-back guarantee. The hosting plan you buy alongside a domain is covered if it is an eligible plan.

Is Lite Email covered by the money-back guarantee?

No. Lite Email at R25/month and reseller hosting are not covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee. Starter, Business and Enterprise Email are covered.

Does the 99% uptime guarantee apply to every plan?

Yes. It applies to web hosting, WordPress hosting, email hosting and reseller hosting.

How do I ask for a refund?

Open a support ticket from your client area within 30 days of your payment and tell us you would like a refund.
