Sub Hosting Policy
Sub hosting (hosting more than one web site with a single WebPlover user account) is generally not allowed on WebPlover servers unless you sign up for the sub-domain account for each domain name that you want to point to a sub-directory under your main account. You must have one main account to have any sub-domain accounts.

Backups are made for server restoration purposes only.

Uptime Guarantee

Just open a sales ticket and send us your account login and website name. Be sure and mention that you would like a refund based on our 99.9% Uptime Guarantee.
Availability of the Shared Web hosting services is defined as the percentage of the time, within the agreed available hours of the service, in which this service, as defined in this contract, is available. There are however a number of factors that may cause the service to be unavailable to the customer that is either outside the control of WebPlover or allowed within the service definition. The service provided by WebPlover is therefore measured as an “adjusted availability” using values referred to as “adjusted service hours” (ASH) and “adjusted downtime” (AD).
Adjusted availability (percentage) = ((ASH-AD)/ASH)x100
Where, the adjusted service hours (ASH) and adjusted downtime (AD) are calculated as follows:
ASH = TM – SMM – UMM AD = MD – SMM – UMM
Where: TM = total number of minutes that the service should be available. SMM = the number of minutes that the system was not available due to scheduled maintenance UMM = the number of minutes that the system was not available but could not be repaired because the system was unreachable to WebPlover staff.
Refunds
We are so certain that you are going to love our services, that is why we’re offering a money-back guarantee.
Each WebPlover shared web hosting plan carries a 30 day money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with our services for any reason and cancel your account within 30 days of activation, you will be given a FULL REFUND of the contract amount excluding setup fees, domain registration/transfer fees and overages.
Setup fees (if any) are refundable for the following reasons only:
- the account order is cancelled prior to account activation; or
- the domain name was not available.
No refunds are granted after 30 day period. Affiliate agency accounts, dedicated servers, any promotional sale programs and all other WebPlover services do NOT apply to this 30 day money back guarantee.
Please Note:
Domain registration/transfer fees are non-refundable. These are domain registries & registrar fees paid on your behalf and we do not have any control over that.
Cancellation/Termination: Accounts cancelled/terminated by WebPlover for violating our Acceptable Usage Policy or Service Policies do not qualify for the 30-day money back guarantee. For example, if your account is cancelled due to spamming, hell, you will not be given any refund. To receive a full refund you must let us know why you are not satisfied.
