We accept several payment methods so you can pay for your hosting, dedicated IPs and domains in whatever way suits you. The main options are PayPal, Skrill and Paymentwall, and you choose your preferred method either on the order form when you first sign up or from the dropdown on any open invoice.
The payment methods we accept
- PayPal. PayPal is widely known and accepted here. Importantly, you do not need to sign up for a PayPal account to pay. If you do not already have one, you can still complete the payment by credit card through the PayPal checkout.
- Skrill. A credit card processor, useful as an alternative if you prefer not to route the payment through PayPal.
- Paymentwall. Accepts credit cards along with a range of other methods such as Alipay and other local options, which is handy if you are ordering from outside the usual card networks.
We may add or remove payment options from time to time, so the exact list you see at checkout can change. If a method you rely on is not shown, or you want to confirm what is currently available, please contact us before ordering.
Where to choose your payment method
There are two places you can pick how you pay:
- On the order form. When you place a new order, select your preferred payment option before you check out.
- On an existing invoice. For a renewal or an outstanding invoice, open the invoice in your client area and use the payment dropdown to switch to the method you want, then pay.
This means you are not locked into the method you used the first time. If you paid your initial order by PayPal but want to settle a renewal by card through Skrill or Paymentwall, you can change it on the invoice itself.
Do I need an account with the payment provider?
No. The most common question we get is whether a PayPal account is required, and it is not. You can pay by credit card through the PayPal, Skrill or Paymentwall checkout without first creating an account with them. This keeps things quick if you just want to get a plan live.
Why timely payment matters for a hosting account
Payment method is a practical detail, but keeping invoices paid on time is what keeps your services and their dedicated IPs online. Extended downtime from a lapsed account is not just an inconvenience: if a network of sites goes offline while search engines are trying to crawl them, that can show up as traffic and indexing problems later. Google documents how to investigate such search traffic drops, and avoidable downtime is one cause worth ruling out. Choosing a payment method you can renew reliably, or setting up your preferred card in advance, helps you avoid that.
