  ### Important Billing Notes

  * **Service Cancellation:** Canceling the PayPal automatic payment stops PayPal from charging you, but does **not** cancel your hosting service. To stop the service itself, [request a cancellation](/portals/billing/how-to-request-a-cancellation-for-your-service). To simply stop automatic charging, you can also turn off [automatic renewal](/portals/billing/how-to-manage-auto-renewal-for-services) in the service's **Billing & Renewal** settings.
  * **Avoid Suspensions:** To prevent service interruption, ensure you have an alternative payment method ready or pay your invoices manually before the due date.
  * **Unpaid Invoices:** If an invoice remains unpaid after the automatic payment is stopped, your service may be suspended or terminated as per our [Terms of Service](https://freakhosting.com/legal).
</Warning>
