Checkout Security
Trusting your card to a host you have just met
A reasonable hesitation. Here is what genuinely protects you — not simply us claiming to be trustworthy.
Your card details never touch us
The card is collected by Stripe and stored on Stripe's own systems. All that reaches us is a token and four digits, so there is nothing on this side worth taking.
Cards from any country work
There is no geographic block on payment. Where a Visa, Mastercard or Amex is cleared for international online purchases, the checkout takes it.
A registered company you can check
Payments go to UK Health Care Support Ltd, registered in England and Wales under company number 15042717. Look us up on Companies House before spending a penny.
The renewal price equals the signup price
Whatever figure you read today is the figure for the next term. There is no opening rate that quietly rises the day year one closes.
Payment Questions
Paying, answered
Which payment methods work here?
Visa, Mastercard and American Express, credit or debit, issued in any country you like. The transaction runs through Stripe, one of the largest and most heavily audited processors there is. Today there is no PayPal, no Apple Pay, no Google Pay, no bank transfer and no cryptocurrency. Better to read that here than find out at checkout with a plan already chosen.
Do you take PayPal?
Not yet. The reason it matters is obvious, particularly when buying from a company you have never used, and a second gateway is on the build list. It appears on this page only when it works end to end. Advertising a method that collapses at checkout is worse than owning the gap.
Which currency actually reaches my card?
US dollars. Prices around the site convert into your local currency so you can weigh the cost at once, but that conversion is display only — the amount sent to your card is in USD. Your bank then applies its own rate, frequently with a foreign transaction fee of some 2 to 3 per cent on top, so the statement line can sit a little above the converted figure printed here.
How will the charge appear on my statement?
The debit comes from our billing company, UK Health Care Support Ltd, and may appear alongside our billing domain rather than the Hosting & Domains name. If a line looks unfamiliar, match the amount and date against the invoice in your client area, or drop us a note and we will identify it for you the same day.
Why should I trust a host I have only just found?
A fair question — and the honest answer is to verify rather than take our word. Stripe captures the card details and we never store them, so even a breach of our servers could not expose them. The company taking payment is UK Health Care Support Ltd, registered in England and Wales under number 15042717, with a registered office anyone can check on the public Companies House register. Hosting plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee and reseller plans 7 days, so a bad experience never leaves you trapped.
May I pay monthly instead of a year in advance?
Shared, WordPress and WooCommerce plans currently bill annually — which is precisely what keeps the monthly-equivalent figure as low as it is. We know a year in one payment is a real barrier in many countries, so shorter terms are on the roadmap. Month-to-month billing already applies on VPS, reseller and dedicated plans.
How do refunds come back to me?
Once approved, a refund goes back in USD to whichever card paid. Hosting carries a 30-day money-back guarantee; reseller plans carry 7 days. Domain registrations, renewals and transfers fall outside it, because the registry bills us the instant a name is created and that money never comes back — the refund policy covers the detail.
