Account activation
We provide instant account activation for our shared and reseller web hosting plans. VPS servers are activated within 2 hours in most cases however at times we may need up to 24 hours to activate the service. Dedicated servers are activated within 2-4 hours if we have the requested hardware in stock. If you require a custom setup we may need more time to deliver it from our vendor.
Any account may take more time to be activated if it fails the initial verification. In that case, we will contact you with details and steps to complete the verification process.
Payments
You agree to pay for the Services on time and in advance for the billing cycle Services are provided for. Invoices are generated 7 days before the renew date of the Services. Vishmitha provides 7 days grace period after the renew date. If the invoice is not paid within the 7 days grace period Vishmitha will temporary suspend services until the invoice is paid in full. Vishmitha will terminate Services not paid in full 15 days after the Services have been suspended.
If you want your account to be re-activated after it has been terminated for non-payment you will need to pay all renewal invoices since the suspension and a one time $30 reactivation fee. We will restore your data from backups but you will need to re-create manually any mysql usernames and privileges for each of your accounts. Such reactivation is only possible when we still keep a backup of your data on our backup servers.
Invoices that have been paid more than once because of multiple PayPal subscriptions or multiple manual payments, cannot be refunded. They overpaid amount will be added as credit to your account which can be used to pay for future invoices.
If your payment is refunded due to a chargeback you will need to pay the refunded amount plus a one time $20 chargeback fee.
