Our support will cover any Windows reinstall given that a support ticket has been opened. Linux VPS resinstalls can be done from the client area. Dedicated Servers and Windows VPS must be done manually by iHostVPS staff.


12. Refunds. We always try our best to give our customer(s) outstanding equipment, support and the best pricing for these services on the planet!

Customer has the right to cancel services with iHostVPS before the monthly renewal period and will not incur and additional cost. Whenever you decide to place your order(s) with iHostVPS, please ask the staff (approximate set-up time) for your server. At times, due to heavy ordering and our fantastic pricing, we cannot get equipment delivered fast enough to meet this same demand. While setup time for VPS takes 1 to 3 hours, for a Dedicated server, 1 to 3 business days, if the set-up time does not meet your needs, PLEASE do not place your order(s) with iHostVPS. We are not the Post Office or UPS and sometimes cannot control how fast our vendors get our equipment shipped to us.even when we pay extra for overnight shipping! Therefore, once again, please ask our staff the approximate time for set-up for your order(s). If you have an emergency on your server set-up needs, please speak with our staff and request (1-2) day set-up pending availability. If iHostVPS is unable to deliver a dedicated hosting service due to a server that the customer has ordered and is unavailable, iHostVPS will grant the customer a full refund. This will be determined at iHostVPS's discretion.


13. Chargebacks, Disputes, Fraudulent Orders and Remedies If client initiates a dispute or chargeback against iHostVPS for existing service; iHostVPS reserves the right to suspend and or cancel any and all services being provided to the client. A $50 fee will apply and will be demanded before any services are restored if the server(s) is/are still available.
