Switching accounts (Change / Extension)
Demands and needs can change over time. At Hoststar, you can change your subscriptions to a larger or smaller subscription at any time with the click of a button.
ABO-UPDATES: we recommend immediately after the new subscription re-billing, as the difference amount from smaller to larger subscription will be charged immediately after your request.
ABO-DOWNGRADES: we recommend to make shortly before the re-invoicing, as already paid subscription fees cannot be refunded by the larger package.
To change or upgrade your subscription, proceed as follows:
Overview
Your subscriptions are listed under the menu item Account – Subscriptions.
