This only applies the following domain extensions; .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us, .info, and .name. If the customer decides to transfer an already registered domain name to IDWEB-HOSTING's servers, then the customer is responsible for all registrar fees for that domain.

Price Freeze Guarantee IDWEB-HOSTING guarantees for as long as you are a continuous client, in good financial standing, and you keep renewing your contract for web hosting service, we guarantee that you will be locked into paying your original purchase price forever. Coupons Occasionally IDWEB-HOSTING will offer discount codes for use at checkout. Coupons are only good for a limited time, therefore they do not apply to the Price Freeze Guarantee. This means that you'll only get the discount until the code is expired. After that the plan will go back to its orginal retail price and you'll then be locked into paying that price as long as you remain a customer in good financial standing. Money Back Guarantee Whilst the vast majority of IDWEB-HOSTING Customers will be perfectly satisfied with IDWEB-HOSTING service and remain with IDWEB-HOSTING for many years after ordering, IDWEB-HOSTING does recognize that on rare occasions, the agreement between the Customer and IDHOSTING will need to be canceled. IDWEB-HOSTING would encourage Customers to contact the customer services department in the first instance to ascertain if IDWEB-HOSTING can resolve any issue causing a Customer to consider canceling, but if the eventuality does arise, the IDWEB-HOSTING cancellation policy is as follows: Customers may cancel their account at any time. Any Customer canceling their service will be entitled to request a pro-rata refund based on the months of unused hosting remaining. Likewise, IDWEB-HOSTING reserves the right to cancel the service at any time. In this event, Customers again will be entitled to a pro-rata refund based upon the remaining months of membership. If a Customer contravenes IDWEB-HOSTING's terms of service a refund will not be issued in the event of a cancellation. In the event of any refund, a US $20.00 administration charge is retained by IDWEB-HOSTING. In addition, the domain registrar cost is also retained by IDWEB-HOSTING to cover annual domain expenses if the domain was registered by IDWEB-HOSTING. Prices do vary depending on domain ending. For example, a cancellation after 6 months service would generate a refund of the remaining 6 months service minus a US$20 administration fee and $12.95 to cover a .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us fee. Since we do register other types of domains, prices will vary.
