Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

Four questions people ask before they cancel
Can I get my money back?

First-time customers who cancel within 30 days of activation are eligible for the Managed WordPress Hosting money-back guarantee. Dedicated server fees, one-time fees, and overages are excluded and reduce the refund. After 30 days, the plan stays active to period end and ordinary unused plan time is not refunded.

Refund possible
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

The Company Owner or Company Administrator can normally switch to a smaller plan in MyKinsta. Changes are prorated to the second. Kinsta does not document a permanent free hosting downgrade.

Can I pause instead of cancel?

No plan pause is documented in the official pricing, plan-management, cancellation, or money-back pages reviewed on 2026-08-08. Kinsta documents plan changes and scheduled cancellation instead.

What happens to my account data?

When cancellation takes effect, Kinsta permanently deletes live and staging environments, WordPress sites, and MyKinsta DNS records. The data cannot be recovered. Initial 30-day cancellations are immediate; later cancellations delete data at the current billing period's end.
