## Refunds, pausing, downgrades and your data

- **Refunds:** The Web Hosting plan cards advertise a 30-day money-back guarantee. GoDaddy's refund policy says a hosting service already performed is non-refundable and otherwise applies the stated refund period. Request any eligible refund before account closure.
- **Pausing:** No billing pause for GoDaddy Web Hosting is documented on the checked pricing, cancellation and refund pages.
- **Downgrading:** Manage Subscriptions can show available plan changes through Edit Plan. Cancellation does not automatically move cPanel hosting to a free plan.
- **Account data:** Hosting remains usable until the displayed end date. After that, the product and associated data are deleted. Immediate product deletion can be unrecoverable even with paid time remaining.

## FAQ

**Is this the same as GoDaddy Websites + Marketing?**

No. This guide covers cPanel Web Hosting. Websites + Marketing is a separate hosted website builder with its own guide.

**When does GoDaddy Web Hosting end?**

It remains usable until the cancellation date shown during the auto-renew flow.

**What happens to hosted data?**

GoDaddy says the product and associated data are deleted after the displayed end date.

**Can I get a refund?**

The plan advertises a 30-day guarantee, but the refund policy excludes hosting already performed, so eligibility must be confirmed with GoDaddy.
