Invoices are automatically billed to your credit card on file on the due date in your invoices. Invoices are sent out to the email address on file.

Non-Payment

If an invoice is not paid within 10 days from the due date, the website connected to the account will be manually or automatically suspended until the invoice is paid. An account suspension notice may or may not be sent to the client upon suspension. If a clients account is setup to use credit card payments by default and a payment is made by credit card through our secure online billing system, the account is typically automatically turned back on by our system. Due to some unique client situations, and how the clients account is setup, not all suspensions are automatically reversed if secure payment is made online. In these cases, the website hosting account will be manually activated shortly after the payment is made. We can not guarantee how quickly a hosting account is activated in these manual situations. However, an effort will be made to activate the account as quickly as possible.
