7. Termination & Data Retention Policy
Account Termination
Hosting accounts may be terminated due to non-payment, violation of terms of service, or at the client’s request.
Upon termination, all services under the account will be disabled, including website, email, and database access.
Data Retention & Backups
Once an account is terminated, all associated data (files, databases, emails, backups) will be permanently deleted from our servers.
We do not guarantee or provide backups of terminated accounts.
It is the client’s sole responsibility to maintain regular backups of their website and data.
Client Responsibility
Prior to account termination, clients are responsible for downloading any necessary data or backups.
Failure to secure a backup before termination will result in permanent loss of data, for which we cannot be held liable.
No Recovery After Termination
After termination and deletion, recovery of data is not possible under any circumstances.
