# How to Add Funds to Your Account Balance

> Add credit to your FREAKHOSTING account using secure payment gateways like PayPal and credit cards. Pre-pay for hosting and manage your payment methods.

## Managing Your Account Credit

Adding funds to your account balance lets you pre-pay for renewals and new purchases. When you hold a positive balance, FREAKHOSTING uses it automatically to settle invoices, helping you avoid accidental service interruptions.
