Unexpected billing
On 27 February, I contacted support to request a downgrade, as the hosting cost was over $2,000 per year. I was told this wasn’t possible. I then requested the EPP code to transfer everything away (domain and hosting and emails), making it clear I intended to move off the service. After confirming that my domain and hosting were being transferred, I was not informed at any point via the support chat that I also needed to separately cancel the account. I assumed that transferring everything would effectively end the service. While I accept that this assumption was incorrect, there was no guidance from support indicating that an additional cancellation step was required. On 31 March, I was billed again for hosting covering the period 5 April 2026 to April 2027. This charge was applied before the new billing period began. I disputed the charge prior to 5 April and requested a refund for the unused period, but this was declined. Despite clearly indicating my intention to cancel and no longer use the service, I have been charged over $2,000 for hosting I did not use.
