In exchange for the fees you pay in advance, we will host your web site on one or more of our servers, so long as you abide by the terms and conditions that are set out on this page, and in any other agreements that relate to the services we may provide to you. We will provide the services according to the specifications listed for the hosting package you select during the signup process. For clarity, on this page, the term "services" refers to the web hosting services that we will provide to you and, if you are an Affiliate, the services weprovide to you in connection with that program. The term "Save On Hosting" or "us" or "we" refers to SaveOnHosting.com.
For us to host your web site, it is necessary for you to upload your content to our servers. When you do this uploading, you are creating one or more copies of your content on our system. By purchasing hosting services from us, you acknowledge that these copies are being made, and give us the permission (a license) to maintain these copies and make them available to users of the Internet. You are solely responsible for providing all of the content and other data that make up your web site.
We will attempt to provide the services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for as long as you have paid for them. Sometimes, however, for a number of reasons, the services may be unavailable to you. You must recognize and acknowledge that due to the nature of web hosting technology, occasional unavailability of the services cannot be avoided. Sometimes there are equipment malfunctions. At other times we undertake periodic maintenance procedures or repairs. Still other times, there are causes beyond our control like power failures, interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, network traffic and other occurrences. We have not promised to provide you with uninterrupted service.
When you place an order for our services, your personal information, including your credit card information, is transmitted via the use of Secure Socket Layer technology, the industry standard for encrypting sensitive information. We take your privacy very seriously, and as such, will not sell your personal information to third party (other than a company that may purchase Save On Hosting), and will take reasonable steps to keep it from being disclosed to any third party. Read more in our Privacy Policy, below.
Each of Save On Hosting's managed shared hosting accounts carry a 30 day unconditional money back guarantee on them. If you are not completely satisfied with our services within the first 30 days of your service, you will be given a full refund of the contract amount. Remember, this is only for monthly shared or reseller packages and does not apply to domain names, SSL certificates, web designs or any other custom works.
While our shared services are suitable for the bulk of our customers, there comes a time for some web sites when they are better suited for a larger plan, which allows for more dedicated CPU, memory, disk and other server resources. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to discontinue service to any customer with a web site or other hosted data that takes up excessive server resources which degrade the service for other clients hosted on the same server. This means that if your web site is found to be utilizing excessive the CPU, memory, disk or other resources, we reserve the right to take your site offline. If this becomes necessary, you can either upgrade your hosting service, or request a pro-rated refund of the amounts you have paid in advance for the services. Due to the severity of this, and our ability to act quickly to correct these situations to avoid server issues, we will do everything reasonably feasible to provide you with a warning prior to taking your site offline, but we accept no obligation to do so.
Renewals: You are responsible for renewing your domain name(s) with Save On Hosting before their respective expiry date(s). Save On Hosting will generate and send renewal notices and invoices by email prior to your domain’s expiry date, and will renew domains in question following receipt of payment.

You must maintain an email address on file with us, that is active and frequently monitored at all times in order to receive crucial account information, including invoices and expiry notices.
Expired Domains: In the of majority cases, expired domain names can be renewed for up to 7 days following their expiration at the regular renewal rate. However, due to varying conditions based on the type of domain purchased (also known as Top-Level Domain, or “TLD”), Save On Hosting cannot guarantee the successful renewal of an expired domain name. All reasonable efforts will be attempted to renew the domain name, but specific results cannot be guaranteed. In a situation where a paid domain renewal cannot be completed, paid renewal fees will be refunded.
Domain Redemption Fee: Certain domains that have expired and were not renewed after a certain number of days may enter a special period of the domain life cycle called a “Redemption Period” in which they may not be transferred or renewed. Our clients may reactivate a domain name that is in the Redemption Period at an additional cost (Domain Redemption Fee), by contacting Save On Hosting.
No Refund on Domains: Once a domain name has been registered, transferred or renewed successfully, the fee(s) paid for said domain registration, transfer, or renewal are not eligible for refund.
