Shared Hosting clients can now easily manage automatic billing

Since we introduced automatic billing for all Shared Hosting accounts earlier this year, you can now easily review your account and ensure your billing preferences are set the way you’d like them.

You don't need to take any action to continue your Shared Hosting service as your account will renew automatically (review or edit your payment method in your Client Area at any time).
Alternatively, cancel your Shared Hosting account at any time before your renewal date to avoid additional charges.
