Cancelling a service

Billing 25/10/2026

Open the service and press Request Cancellation. You have two options:

  • End of billing period - the service runs until the end of the period you paid for, then it is switched off. Usually the best choice.
  • Immediate - the service is switched off straight away.

Cancelling stops further invoices for that service. It does not delete your client account, past invoices or other services.

Take your data first. Once hosting is switched off its files, databases and email are deleted. Make a backup in DirectAdmin and download it to your computer before the end date. The same goes for a VPS - copy your data off it before the service ends.

To cancel a domain, turn off its auto renewal. If you are moving the domain elsewhere, transfer it before it expires.
