Account Policies and Cancellation:

Account renewal is automatic until cancelled by the account holder. All accounts will be renewed according to the term selected upon account signup (monthly or annually). There are no refunds due to the large number of "host hoppers" who have taken advantage of this offer, and change hosts every 28 days.

If your billing information is incorrect, or your Credit Card is denied for any reason upon automatic renewal, you will receive an email informing you of the problem. If you do not provide alternate payment arrangements within 48 hours of that notice, your account will be suspended. You will have 14 days to resolve the situation and provide proper billing information. If we do not hear from you within 14 days, your account will be deleted from our system. HC-HOSTING.NET's is not responsible in any way for any loss of revenue or business due to account suspension or deletion.

Accounts are payable at the time the account is created. If payment by check or money order is selected, payment must be received prior to account activation. Any account reaching thirty (30) days past due is subject to removal from our servers at our discretion.

Cancellation requests must be and may only be submitted via our ticketing system at https://www.hchosting.net/support/. Requests must be received by the 15th of the month BEFORE your upcoming hosting renewal in order to cancel for the following hosting term (monthly, quarterly, annually, etc).
