At SharkASP, we focus on stability, ease of use, and keeping your online services running without interruption. To help you avoid missed renewals and unexpected downtime, we offer an automated recurring billing system for hosting plans, domain names, and service upgrades. This system ensures timely renewals while giving you complete visibility and control over your subscriptions.
Below is a detailed explanation of how recurring payments function, when renewals are processed, and how you can manage or update your billing preferences.
How SharkASP Recurring Billing Works
When you purchase SharkASP services—such as web hosting, domain registration, or plan upgrades—using a credit/debit card or PayPal, a recurring billing subscription is automatically set up for the next billing term.
This subscription enables automatic renewal of the selected service, ensuring your account remains active without requiring manual payment each cycle.
- Card payments: Subscription details are included in your payment confirmation email.
- PayPal payments: PayPal sends a separate email confirming the recurring authorization.
Early Renewal Processing for Maximum Uptime
To minimize the risk of service disruption, recurring payments are processed seven (7) days before the actual renewal date. This advance billing window helps prevent issues such as expired cards or insufficient PayPal balances.
If a renewal attempt is unsuccessful, you’ll receive an immediate notification and have seven additional days to resolve the issue before any service interruption occurs.
Viewing or Canceling Your Subscription
You can review or cancel any active recurring subscription at any time through the SharkASP Control Panel:
- Hover over your account name in the top-right corner
- Select Recurring from the menu
If your subscription was created via PayPal, you may also manage or cancel it directly from your PayPal account dashboard.
Updating Your Payment Method
If you’d like to keep your recurring subscription active but change the payment source, follow these steps:
- Go to the Recurring section in your Control Panel
- Click Change next to the subscription
- Choose your new payment option:
- PayPal
- FirstData (credit/debit cards)
- WorldPay (American Express)
You’ll be redirected to a secure authorization page to complete a $0.00 verification transaction, which confirms approval for future automatic renewals.
