Questions about the terms

What are the key things to know in Hostrena's Terms of Service?

The essentials: billing is prepaid per cycle and cancellable at any time, the 99.99% uptime SLA is contractual with defined service credits, you carry full legal responsibility for content on your services, resources must be used for lawful purposes, and spam, attacks and illegal content lead to suspension or termination.

Can I cancel my Hostrena subscription at any time?

Yes — cancellation is self-service from the client panel with no early-termination fees. Your service keeps running until the end of the period you already paid for, and no further renewal invoices are generated. Annual subscriptions can also be cancelled mid-term, with any refund handled under the refund policy.

What is Hostrena's refund policy under these terms?

New hosting plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee. Outside that window, monthly fees for the current period are non-refundable, while annual plans may receive pro-rated credit case by case. Domain registrations are final — the registry fee cannot be recalled.

What content is prohibited on Hostrena servers?

Strictly prohibited: illegal content of any kind, child sexual abuse material, malware and exploitation tools, mass unsolicited mail (spam), DDoS or scanning infrastructure aimed at third parties, unlicensed copyrighted material distribution, and phishing or fraud operations. The full list lives in the Prohibited Activities section.

What happens if I violate the Terms of Service?

Responses scale with severity. Minor violations get a written warning with time to correct. Continued or moderate violations lead to temporary suspension while the issue is fixed. Severe violations — active attacks, spam campaigns, illegal content — trigger immediate termination without refund, and where law requires, reporting to authorities.

Is Hostrena responsible if I lose data on my server?

Hostrena provides backup tooling and platform-level redundancy, but the terms are explicit: backups are a shared responsibility, and you should keep independent copies of critical data. If loss is caused by a Hostrena infrastructure failure, SLA compensation applies; loss caused by actions inside your account is your responsibility.

What SLA guarantees are written into the terms?

A contractual 99.99% monthly uptime guarantee for VPS, VDS and AI servers. If measured uptime falls below it, you receive a service credit of 10% of that month's fee for each 1% of shortfall, claimable by opening a ticket within 7 days of the incident. Scheduled, announced maintenance windows are excluded from the calculation.

Can I transfer my account or servers to someone else?

Yes, with verification. Full account transfers (including billing history) require a formal request and identity confirmation from both parties. Moving a server between your own accounts is self-service; moving one to a different person's account is reviewed manually to prevent fraud and ownership disputes.

Can my account be suspended without prior notice?

In most cases you receive notice and time to respond. The exceptions are immediate-harm situations: an active outbound attack, malware distribution, mass spam, or clearly illegal content. These endanger other clients and the network, so the service is suspended first and the conversation happens immediately after.

Which law governs my agreement with Hostrena?

The service agreement is governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including the Electronic Transactions Law. Disputes are addressed first through direct, good-faith negotiation with the support and legal teams; if that fails, commercial arbitration in Saudi Arabia is the agreed resolution mechanism.

Can I send bulk marketing email from Hostrena services?

Only with real consent. Marketing mail is allowed when recipients explicitly opted in, every message carries a working unsubscribe link, and sending complies with applicable law. Purchased lists, harvested addresses and consent-free blasts are treated as spam — mail service is suspended immediately when they are detected.

Am I responsible for what is published on my hosted site?

Yes, entirely. Hostrena provides infrastructure; you remain the legal publisher of everything your site serves and everything your server sends. Abuse reports against your services are forwarded to you for action, and verified violations of law or these terms are handled under the enforcement process described above.

How will I know if these terms change?

Material changes are emailed to every active account at least 30 days before they take effect, and the version number plus last-updated date at the top of this page always reflect the current revision. Minor editorial clarifications may ship without individual notice, so a periodic re-read is recommended.

What is the difference between suspension and termination?

Suspension is temporary: the service stops responding but data is preserved, and service resumes once the cause — unpaid invoice, fixable violation — is resolved. Termination is permanent: the account closes and data is deleted after a short retention window. Suspension is the default path; termination is reserved for serious cases.

Do new clients get a money-back guarantee?

Yes — the first paid term of a new hosting plan is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Domains, as registry-final products, are the exception and are excluded from refunds across the industry.
