B. Refunds for Domain Registrations

New domains may be cancelled and receive a full refund only within the first 24 hours after placing an order. This grace period only applies to new domain name registrations and is not applicable for domain renewals.

If you cancel your iHosturDomain.com  service, you will retain ownership of your domain name for as long as you continue to renew the domain. You may renew the domain through the Registrar at the following url: http://manage.opensrs.net.

It does not cover any areas where iHosturDomain.com  has no direct influence, such as backbone provider failures, fibre-optic main line cuts, DNS or Registrar issues with subscriber's domain name, routing issues between subscriber location and iHosturDomain.com  data center. The uptime guarantee is also not applicable if the service interruption was caused by external issues such as Acts of God, Wars or any other natural or unnatural events that iHosturDomain.com  cannot directly influence.

To request a service credit due to an uptime concern, please submit a request for this guarantee via iHosturDomain.com  "Contact Us" form located at this URL:
