1.3.3 Payment for services and available payment methods

Finances Section

Ordering or renewing any service with TheHost is only available through the personal account. Payment for our services is not possible through any other third-party web interfaces, including:

  • The official TheHost website, which is solely for browsing the list and detailed characteristics of our services;
  • Hosting control panels;
  • Virtual server (VPS/VDS) control panels;
  • Any other third-party web interfaces and websites.

All payment operations in the personal account of TheHost are located in the left menu under the Finances section, which includes the following main subsections:

  • Payments - displaying all your account top-ups;
  • Expenses - showing all your expenses for various services;
  • Orders, where the history of your orders is displayed.

Paying for a new service or renewing existing ones is reflected in the Orders section. If an order is in the status of “Payment in progress (blocked)”, it means that a payment for this order has already been created in the Payments section. To unblock the order and pay for it using any other method, you need to go to the Payments section, where you can delete all unpaid invoices. Only after that, in the Orders section, your order will change its status to “Open”. Select it and click Pay at the top right above the list of orders. When making a payment, you can choose the appropriate payment method.

For service renewals in the personal account, go to the Products/Services section, select the type of ordered service, and then in the displayed list, select the desired service. After that, click the Renew button at the top right above the list of services. In the opened window, select the payment period, and in the Pay field, choose the source of funds for renewal, where “Current balance” means renewal from the current balance in the personal account, and “New order” - payment for service renewal through a new payment.

Types of Payers

There are 2 main types of Payers:

  • Individual - individuals;

  • Company - legal entities.

For legal entities, regardless of the VAT payer status, electronic instant payment methods (Privat24, Visa/MasterCard/Простір payment cards, “My Payment Cards” service) are not available because financial relationships of legal entities exclusively involve non-cash payment. All payment methods are available to private individuals, so if you don’t see a wide range of payment methods in your list, it means that you accidentally selected the wrong type “Company” when creating the payer. To correct this, simply contact TheHost subscriber support or create a new payer with the type “Individual” in the personal account under the Payers section and select it when creating a new invoice.

TheHost company collaborates with budgetary and governmental institutions. Therefore, in case of specific requirements from the state treasury, we can provide documents for payment for at least 1 year (hosting not less than the “Business” tariff). To do this, fill out all the information about your organization in the Payers section of your account and place orders for the services you need. We will then generate acts, contracts, and invoices for their payment.

Payment Method - “Payment Invoice”

This payment method is used for payment at the cash desk of any bank/UkrPoshta/self-service terminal. This method should be used if you want to pay for services by non-cash settlement as a legal entity. By using the Save and Print buttons located at the top right above the payment list, you can save the invoice in PDF format or print it. The appearance of the invoice is as follows:
