Hosting Guarantees
Our high level of customer service and satisfaction is a claim we take very seriously. Most of our competitors will offer you the standard "30 day money back guarantee", but what are you left with after your 30 days has lapsed? Our guarantees (yes, there are four of them) are based on real-life situations and day-to-day business needs.
- Guarantee #1: 30 Day Satistaction Guarantee
- Guarantee #2: Site Availability Guarantee (99.9% monthly)
- Guarantee #3: Support Response Guarantee (24 hours)
- Guarantee #4: Zero price increase for the life of your hosting plan
Guarantee #1: Satisfaction Guarantee or a Full Refund (within 30 days)
Every new customer at HomePage Development is offered our 30 day satisfaction guarantee. While we continually aim to provide feature packed hosting with quality support, speed and dependability, we understand that sometimes our efforts don't go as planned. If you are not completely satisfied with our services within the first 30 days of ordering any of our web hosting plans, you will be given a full refund excluding domain registration fees and overages (disk space, sub domains, domain parking etc). No paperwork and no hassles - simply email us with your username, password and a brief reason why you are cancelling, and we will take care of the rest.
Note: Guarantee is VOID if your account violates our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms Of Use. After your 30 days have lapsed, you cannot receive a full refund, but may cancel at any time by giving 14 days notice in writing.
Guarantee #2: Site Availability Guarantee (99.9% monthly) or a Pro-Rata Downtime Credit
Our agreement with you is to provide hosting for your internet presense. Should you have to pay for this service when it is not available? We think not! While technology is a wonderful thing, sometimes it breaks and may cause a brief interruption.

Guarantee #3: Support Response Guarantee (24 hours) or a Per-Incident Credit
Any support request that is submitted through our specified support options is guaranteed to receive a response within 24 hours. Please note that this does not mean that our average response takes 24 hours. During business hours, our response time is usually under an hour. If a response is not given within 24 hours, a $5 credit can be requested (per support issue).
Note: Support Response Guarantee does not guarantee resolution within 24 hours, but a response from a human (non-automated response). Total credits in any given month cannot exceed 100% of customer's monthly hosting fees for the account which the requests were in reference to.
Guarantee #4: Zero price increase for the life of your hosting plan
From the moment you signup for a HomePage Development hosting package, the cost of your chosen plan will not increase. Whilst HPD reserve the right to alter pricing for new customers, the recurring price of your plan will not change. We also reserve the right to increase or decrease our plan resources from time to time, though your plan setup will never decrease.
