Other cancellation methods

What happens when you cancel
Access and service termination
If you choose immediate cancellation your hosting account and related services may be suspended or terminated immediately depending on the option selected.
If you cancel at expiry the account typically remains active until the end of the paid term and then closes without further renewal.
Data and domains
Back up any site files, databases and email before cancelling; SiteGround’s retention policies may remove data after closure.
Domain registrations are treated separately - cancelling hosting does not automatically delete or transfer domain registrations.
Will I get a refund?
Refund windows and guarantees
- Shared hosting: 30-day money-back guarantee on initial orders.
- Cloud hosting: 14-day money-back guarantee on initial orders.
Renewals and exclusions
- For renewals: a full refund may apply if cancelled within 30 days and the renewal term has not started; partial refunds apply after the term starts (first-month cost often retained).
- Domain registration fees, paid support, and third-party services are not refundable.
- Monthly subscription refund eligibility is unclear and may be excluded from guarantees - confirm before purchase.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Cooling-off period and digital services
South African consumer protection commonly provides a cooling-off period for digital services, often 14 days for distance contracts, which may overlap with SiteGround’s guarantees.
Consumers must cancel within the applicable window to exercise rights under local law and any provider guarantees.
Practical cautions for buyers
- Confirm refund eligibility for monthly subscriptions before purchase, as SiteGround’s guarantees may not cover all billing types.
- Domain fees and third-party add-ons are typically non-refundable - treat those costs as separate from hosting refunds.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Reviews praise SiteGround for knowledgeable, patient support, fast responses, WordPress migration tools, security features and uptime performance.
See aggregated user reviews for more detail: Trustpilot reviews, Capterra South Africa, TrustRadius reviews.
Common complaints
Frequent negatives include high renewal pricing after introductory terms and occasional frustration around support access or policy clarity.
Reports also highlight unclear refund rules for monthly subscriptions and domain non-refundability as frequent pain points.
Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Backup website files, databases and email data.
- Export DNS and domain settings if you plan to transfer domains.
- Locate order receipts, invoices and the original purchase confirmation.
When you cancel
- Take screenshots of cancellation confirmation and ticket numbers.
- If sending registered mail, keep proof of postage and delivery tracking.
- Retain correspondence about refunds or pro-rated charges.
Common mistakes
Assuming all fees are refundable
Many customers expect domain or add-on fees to be refundable; these are explicitly excluded in SiteGround’s refund policy.
Wrong cancellation channel
Purchases via Apple App Store or Google Play must be cancelled through Apple/Google. Failing to cancel there can result in continued billing despite contacting SiteGround.
Also, not disabling auto-renewal separately can cause unexpected renewals even after a cancellation request if the timing or method is incorrect.
