When your hosting plan reaches its end date, your services are affected in a strict and time-sensitive manner. Here's what you need to know to avoid unexpected downtime or data loss.
Suspension After Expiry
On the final day of your hosting term, your account is automatically suspended. This means:
-
Your website becomes inaccessible to visitors.
-
Email services linked to your hosting stop working.
-
Access to cPanel, FTP, and other management tools is disabled.
Suspension is a temporary state, but it blocks all functionality and visibility of your hosting account.
Termination Follows Shortly
If your hosting plan is not renewed within a few days after suspension, your account is permanently terminated. This includes:
-
Complete deletion of website files, databases, and emails.
-
Removal of all configurations and settings.
-
No option for recovery or restoration once termination is complete.
This process ensures server resources are efficiently managed and unused accounts do not affect overall performance.
How to Prevent Expiry Issues
To keep your website and services running smoothly:
-
Renew your hosting plan before the expiry date.
-
Enable auto-renewal to avoid manual delays.
-
Keep your payment method updated and active.
-
Set reminders for your renewal schedule.
-
Regularly back up your website and email data.
Being proactive ensures uninterrupted service and protects your data from permanent loss.
