FAQs Subscriptions and Payments

What is the meaning of "Subscription" or "Monthly Plan"?

A Subscription (used interchangeably with monthly plan or plan) is the monthly or yearly payment of your web services. Website hosting, email inbox and cloud storage are all forms of web services. The amount will depend on the type of service you request  and also the size of the service for ex. Starter, Business or Professional. Subscriptions have ongoing terms (monthly or yearly). Subscriptions are renewed near and before the end of the term to continue the web service. Subscription may become over-due and get cancelled over non payment. One Subscription is independent of other and does not share credentials so different payment details can be used.

What is the difference between "Pay Monthly" and "Pay Yearly" Subscription

The Pay Yearly subscription is charged “once a year” for the 12 months and discounted version of a Pay Monthly subscription. The pay monthly subscription is charged month to month automatically before the end of each month when the payment is due. Pay yearly has a clear advantage over pay monthly subscription not only for discounts and offers but also the security of your plan. If for security reason your bank does not allow payment of your plan, the plan may not renew and your service may be impacted, leading to issues with your account. It is highly recommended to choose pay yearly subscription over pay monthly. We regularly send offers, discounts and coupons for pay yearly plans.

What happens if my subscription was not renewed by the bank?
