How to Change the Billing Cycle for Your Hosting Service

Suppose you originally signed up for a reseller hosting service (not limited to) with a monthly billing cycle and later decide to switch to a longer billing cycle (such as 12 months), this guide will show you how to do it—without needing help from our support team.

Switching from a monthly billing cycle to a longer billing cycle can offer several advantages:

• Lower Monthly Costs: By switching to a 12-month plan, you could save a substantial amount compared to paying monthly.
• Avoid Price Increases: Locking in a longer-term plan protects you from potential price hikes during the contract period.
• Predictable Costs: A fixed annual payment allows you to plan your finances more effectively, as you know exactly how much you’ll be paying for hosting each year.
• Focus on Growth: With fewer renewals to worry about, you can dedicate more time and resources to growing your reseller business and serving your clients.

After selecting your desired billing cycle, you’ll see important details about the change:

• Next Due Date → The current expiration date of your service.

• Once the invoice is generated, your service will be extended by 12 months.
• Your new expiration date will be March 1, 2026.
