NiigmaHost performs nightly backups of Shared Hosting, Reseller Hosting, and WordPress hosting accounts; however, these backups are for NiigmaHost’s administrative purposes only, and are in NO WAY GUARANTEED! Customers are responsible for maintaining their own backups on their own personal computers. NiigmaHost does not provide any sort of compensation for lost or incomplete data in the event that backups do not function properly (even if the malfunction was due to negligence on NiigmaHost’s part). We will do our best to ensure complete and accurate backups, but assume no responsibility for this duty. Always back your site up to your personal computer! We make no guarantees about the availability of backups.
You may not use your hosting account as a backup solution. Our Services are designed to host your website only and may not be used as a data repository. NiigmaHost reserves the right to remove backups from your
hosting account with or without notice.
We may also delete the
following types of files if we find them to be using excessive amounts
of disk space, especially if affecting other customers: (i) cPanel or
other backups stored locally, (ii) Softaculous backups stored locally,
(iii) Softaculous backup temp files, (iv) Common CMS backups stored
locally, (v) Common CMS backup temp files, (vi) Common CMS backup logs,
(vii) excessively sized error logs, and (viii) any other large files
deemed unnecessary for core website functionality or not containing any
valuable data. cPanel generated backups stored on the server will be automatically deleted after fourteen (14) days.
While our Backups system supports almost any characters for filenames (UTF-8), there are special characters/symbols that are generally best avoided as there are specific limitations across various filesystems and storage destinations that can cause unintended issues with your backups. This list is not exhaustive and is meant to help determine and avoid errors regarding filenames and your backups.

While our Backups system generally performs backups for any files or folders, there are exceptions of files and folders that are excluded as there are specific limitations across various filesystems and storage destinations that can cause unintended issues with your backups. This list is not exhaustive and is meant to help avoid errors regarding your backups.

Cancellations are processed by our Billing department. To cancel an account, a cancellation request via the client area must be submitted. Once we receive your cancellation request, our Billing department will confirm your request and process your cancellation shortly thereafter.
We require all cancellations to be requested through the cancellation form inside your client area in order to (a) confirm your identity, (b) confirm in writing that you are prepared for all of your files and emails to be removed. This process aims to reduce the likelihood of mistakes, fraudulent/malicious requests, and to ensure that you are aware that your files, emails, and account may be removed immediately and permanently after a cancellation request is processed.
We will provide you with at least ten (10) days’ notice of your renewal pricing before the payment due date for monthly, annual, or longer-term plans. Unless otherwise provided, NiigmaHost will automatically bill your payment method on file as it follows:
seven (7) days before the payment due date;
on the payment due date;
seven (7) days after the payment due date.
You expressly acknowledge, agree, and authorize us to automatically bill the applicable fee and/or charge your credit card or other payment methods on file for each Renewal Term, unless you terminate or cancel the Services prior to such charge as provided in this section. All fees are billed in United States Dollars (“USD”) and are subject to change with prior notice to you.
NiigmaHost is only able to automatically collect payments from customers with credit cards stored on file. All other payment methods (e.g. PayPal one-time payments) must be initiated manually by you. It is your responsibility to ensure that all fees are paid no later than their payment due date.
As a customer of NiigmaHost, it is your responsibility to ensure that all billing information on file with NiigmaHost is accurate and that any credit card or other automated payment method on file has sufficient funds for processing. You are solely responsible for any and all fees charged to your payment method by the issuer, bank, or financial institution including, but not limited to, membership, overdraft, insufficient funds, and over the credit limit fees. NiigmaHost screens all orders for fraud. In certain cases, if your account is flagged for fraud, your order will not be processed. NiigmaHost has no liability for not providing Services, including third-party services if your account fails the fraud screen.
NiigmaHost reserves the right to change prices or any other charges at any time. We will provide you with at least thirty (30) days' notice before charging you with any price change on any annual or longer-term plans. It is your sole responsibility to periodically review pricing on our website and billing information provided by NiigmaHost through the client area or through other methods of communication, including notices sent or posted by NiigmaHost.
Any account not paid in full by the end of the Term will be given a seven (7) day grace period. If payment is not made within the seven (7) day grace period, NiigmaHost reserves the right to suspend your Services. NiigmaHost reserves the right to terminate Services fifteen (15) days after the payment due date (Shared Hosting, WordPress Hosting, Reseller Hosting) and nine (9) days after the payment due date (VPS Hosting).
NiigmaHost is not responsible for any damages or losses (including any data) as a result of suspension or termination for non-payment of your account. In addition, NiigmaHost reserves the right to refuse to reactivate your Services until any and all outstanding invoices have been paid in full.
Note that the 15/45 day period ends exactly 15/45 days from the day on which the account was originally activated (not the day the order was placed). It is not valid towards account renewals. The Money-Back Guarantee is VOID if your account violates our Terms of Service, Service Agreement, or any of our policies in place. Setup fees are non-refundable. External services, such as but not limited to, dedicated IP addresses, installation charges, etc., are non-refundable.
Outside of the Money Back Guarantee, NiigmaHost has a no refund policy.
NiigmaHost account credits issued to accounts are not eligible for a refund and will remain on the account for two (2) years after the last hosting account is canceled. If the service credit is not utilized within that time frame, said service credit is forfeited and You hereby agree to release NiigmaHost from all liability for use of such service credits.
Only first-time accounts are eligible for a refund. For example, if you've had an account with us before, canceled, and signed up again, or if you have opened a second account with us, you will not be eligible for a refund. Violations of this Agreement will waive your rights under the refund policy.
Our Migrations Team will make every effort to help you move your website(s) to us. Migrations are provided as a courtesy service. We do not make any guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account migration. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to migrate some or all account data. In some cases, we may not be able to assist you in the transfer of data from an old host. The free migration service is available for sixty (60) days from your sign up date. Migrations outside of the sixty (60) day period will incur a charge; please contact a member of our Support department to receive a price quote. In no event shall NiigmaHost be held liable for any lost or missing data or files resulting from a transfer to or from NiigmaHost. You are solely responsible for backing up your data in all circumstances.
