At TightHost, we aim to make managing your hosting plans and domain names as simple and worry-free as possible. To help ensure uninterrupted service, we offer automatic recurring payments for most services.
When you pay for a web hosting plan, domain registration, or upgrade using a credit/debit card or PayPal, a recurring payment (subscription) is automatically created for future billing cycles.
Why Recurring Payments Are Used
Recurring payments allow TightHost to automatically renew your hosting plan or domain name before it expires. This means:
- You don’t have to remember renewal dates
- Your websites stay online without interruption
- You avoid service suspension due to missed payments
It’s a convenient way to ensure continuous service with no manual renewals required.
How Subscriptions Are Created
Subscriptions are created automatically at the time of payment:
- Credit/Debit Card payments: Subscription details are included in your payment confirmation email.
- PayPal payments: PayPal will send you a separate email confirming the subscription.
No additional setup is required on your part.
When Recurring Payments Are Processed
Recurring charges are processed exactly seven (7) days before the original billing date.
This advance billing helps prevent downtime in case of issues such as:
- Insufficient PayPal balance
- Expired or declined cards
If a renewal attempt fails, you’ll be notified immediately and given one full week to resolve the issue before the service expires.
Managing or Canceling a Subscription
You can view or cancel your subscriptions at any time from your TightHost Control Panel:
- Hover over your name in the top-right corner
- Select Recurring from the menu
Changes take effect instantly and require only a single click.
Note: PayPal subscriptions can also be canceled directly from your PayPal account.
Changing the Payment Method for a Subscription
If you want to keep your subscription active but switch the payment method:
- Go to the Recurring section in your Control Panel
- Click the Change button next to the subscription
- Select one of the available payment options:
- PayPal
- FirstData (all major credit and debit cards)
- WorldPay (American Express)
You’ll then be redirected to a secure payment page to submit a $0.00 authorization payment.
This authorization allows TightHost to automatically charge the selected payment method when your hosting plan or domain renewal is due.
Final Notes
Recurring payments are designed to provide peace of mind and uninterrupted service. You remain in full control—subscriptions can be reviewed, updated, or canceled at any time through your Control Panel.
