2.2.1. Order hosting

Notes:

  • Once ordered, the plan can be changed in any direction, even to business hosting.
  • You can order any number of hosting accounts in one account and switch between them in the control panel.
  • All stages of the service's existence are described in the article Hosting account lifecycle.

On site

  1. Open hosting.xyz and under the desired plan click "Order":
  2. Specify the desired name of hosting account (by default a random one of letters and numbers is generated), select the term of payment for the service (longer term — bigger discount) and click "Order hosting":
  3. Place an order:
    1. (Only if you have a promo code) Click "Enter promo code", enter the code and click "Activate". ⚠️ The loyalty program discount is not valid when using the promo code.
    2. The "I am a new customer" and "I am a regular customer" blocks are only displayed if there was not a log in to the account before the order:
      • If you don't have an account on our site yet — in the "I am a new customer" block, enter your valid email or click on the button of one of the social networks. After placing an order you will be automatically registered.
      • If you already have an account on our site — in the "I am a regular customer" block, click "Log in" and log in. After placing an order, the service will be automatically linked to this account.
    3. Read the public offer.
    4. Click "Order".

Immediately after ordering, the test period will be activated and you will be redirected to the payment page of the created invoice.

In control panel

  1. In the "Hosting" section, expand the list of hosting accounts in the upper left corner and click "Order new":
  2. Specify the desired name of hosting account (by default a name of letters and numbers is generated), select a plan and click "Order new hosting":

Immediately after ordering, a test period will be activated and the invoice for payment for 1 month will be created. You can create an invoice for a longer period yourself.

Test period

Notes:

  • During the test period it is possible to order some extra services for the test: Memcache(d), Redis, OPcache, Sphinx.
  • Abuse of the test period (multiple orders for services without paying for them) may result in a reduction in the length of the available test period or complete inability to use it.

To get a test period on the order page:

  • Either click "Order" and don't pay for the service. After placing an order, invoice will be automatically created and the payment page will open — just go from it to the "Hosting" section.
  • Or just click "5 days for test". After placing an order, the "Hosting" section will open immediately — the invoice can be created later.

Within 30 minutes, the hosting account will be automatically activated for a test period of 5 days and the invoice will be available in the invoice list.

The test period does not disappear if you pay for the service before it expires. For example, if you order hosting and after 2 days of the test period renew it for a month, the service will expire in a month and 5 days (5 days of the test period plus 1 paid month).
