Refund-eligible VPS: how to choose (quick guide)
A refund window can be a low-risk way to test a new provider. But policies vary and often include exclusions-treat this page as a shortlist, then verify on the official pages before you buy.
- Confirm the window: is it 7/14/30 days, and does it start at purchase time, provisioning time, or billing cycle start?
- Read exclusions carefully: setup fees, add-ons, overage/bandwidth, and some payment methods may be excluded.
- Cancel the right way: some providers require a support ticket instead of panel cancellation (or vice versa). Keep a receipt/screenshot.
- Prefer clarity over promises: providers with a clear policy page and consistent docs are usually safer than vague marketing claims.

Refund policy checklist (2 minutes)
Before purchasing, skim the official policy and verify these items. It saves time if you ever need to claim a refund.
- Window + eligibility: exact number of days, eligible products (monthly/annual), and whether first-time customers only.
- Fees and add-ons: setup fees, IP add-ons, control panels, and taxes are often non-refundable.
- Usage limits: bandwidth/overage, abuse flags, or policy violations can void refunds.
- Cancellation process: panel cancel vs support ticket, and whether you must cancel before the window ends.
- Keep evidence: save invoice/order ID and take a screenshot of the policy page at purchase time.

- Is a refund guaranteed if a plan is tagged refund eligible?
- No. Providers may have exclusions (usage limits, add-ons, payment methods, or time windows). Always read the provider policy and confirm at checkout.
- What should I check before buying?
- Confirm the refund window, whether setup fees are refundable, and whether specific promotions or annual billing are excluded.
