# What does service suspension due to non-payment mean?

If an invoice is not paid by its due date, the services associated with your account (hosting, email, domains, etc.) can be **automatically suspended** by the system. Here’s what this means depending on the type of service:

### 🔒 1. **Suspension of web hosting service**

- Your website will **no longer be accessible online** (visitors will see an error or a suspension page).
- **Your files, database, and received emails will NOT be lost.**
- Emails sent to your addresses will be **delivered and stored**, but you won’t be able to access them until reactivation.
- After paying the invoice, the service will be automatically reactivated, and full access to your data will be restored. We recommend paying online by card so services reactivate automatically.

### 🌐 2. **Domain suspension/expiration**

- If the domain **expires**, the site will no longer be accessible, and **emails sent to that domain will be rejected** (they cannot be delivered).
- Emails lost during this period **cannot be recovered after domain reactivation.**
- Some domain extensions may have additional reactivation costs (e.g., .eu domains).
- If the domain is not renewed within a certain period, it may enter a “redemption” period or become publicly available.

### ℹ️ What to do

- We recommend paying invoices before the due date to avoid interruptions. You have 15 days to pay an issued invoice.
- If you have questions or need an extension, contact us — we’re here to help.
