How Auto-Renewal Works
- 7 days before expiration — system sends email reminder
- 1 day before expiration — system attempts payment
- Payment successful — service extended, confirmation sent
- Payment failed — notification sent, service enters grace period
Tip: Ensure you have enough credit or a valid card before the renewal date.
Service Cancellation
Cancellation Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Immediate | Service stops immediately, no refund |
| End of period | Service runs until paid period ends |
How to Cancel
- Go to Dashboard > Services
- Select the service
- Go to Settings or Cancel
- Select cancellation type:
- Immediately — service stops now
- End of period — service continues until end
- Enter cancellation reason (optional)
- Confirm cancellation
Warning: Immediate cancellation is irreversible and non-refundable.
Grace Period
If a service expires without renewal, it enters grace period:
| Status | Duration | Access | Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active | Running | Full | All features |
| Suspended | 0–7 days | Limited | Renewal possible |
| Terminated | 7+ days | None | Data deleted |
During Grace Period
- Server stopped — game/VPS server not running
- Web hosting unavailable — websites offline
- Data preserved — all data remains stored
- Renewal possible — can renew anytime within 7 days
After Grace Period
After 7 days from expiration:
- Service is automatically terminated
- All data is permanently deleted
- Service must be ordered again
Critical: Data cannot be recovered after termination. Backup before expiration.
Upgrades & Downgrades
Service Upgrade
Upgrading increases resources (RAM, CPU, disk):
- Go to Dashboard > Services
- Select the service
- Click Upgrade
- Choose new plan
- Pay prorated amount (for remaining days)
Note: Upgrades are possible anytime, payment is prorated.
Service Downgrade
Downgrading reduces resources:
