Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data

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

SiteGround documents 30 days for Shared hosting and 14 days for Cloud hosting. Renewal refunds depend on whether the new term started. Domains and third-party services are excluded.

Refund possible
Is there a cheaper way to stay?

A paid plan can be downgraded from Services, Hosting, Manage, Settings and the three-dot menu. Cancellation does not provide free hosting.

Read this
Can I pause instead of cancel?

No hosting-subscription pause is documented in SiteGround's official cancellation and billing pages.

Not available
What happens to my account data?

Cancel now suspends hosting immediately. SiteGround says copies may remain for up to 60 days on Shared hosting and 7 to 14 days on Cloud hosting before deletion. Treat these as recovery windows, not backups.
