S3 Billing, Retention and Plan Upgrades

S3-compatible storage is offered in 1 TB, 5 TB, 10 TB, 25 TB, and 50 TB+ capacity tiers through a current written quote. Monthly outbound transfer up to active storage capacity is included without an excess-transfer fee. The quote and signed order control the final HubforHost storage charge and configuration.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Pay before provisioning

Complete payment via UPI, Razorpay or net banking. A credit card is not mandatory. Provisioning begins after payment confirmation.

2

Renew early without losing paid time

Renewal is available during the 5 days before expiry. Paying early does not shorten the current paid term; the renewed term starts after the current term ends.

3

Understand grace, suspension and retention

HubforHost provides a 3-day post-expiry grace period. Access may then be suspended, and service data may be retained for up to 60 days after expiry, subject to upstream availability. This is not a recovery guarantee. Renewal after expiry may include a daily data-retention charge when disclosed in the accepted order or written renewal notice.

4

Review an upgrade quote

An upgrade is subject to the applicable 48-hour transaction gap. HubforHost will show the effective date, new capacity, unused-value adjustment or credit, and payable amount before processing. The credit reduces the upgrade bill and is not a cash refund.

5

Plan a downgrade for renewal

A downgrade cannot take effect in the same billing cycle. Request it for the next eligible renewal and reduce stored data below the new capacity first. Unused prepaid time is non-refundable.

πŸ“Œ Important Notes

  • 50 TB+ scope and service terms are defined in the order.
  • Keep an independent backup. Renewal cannot recover objects that have already been permanently deleted.
