TechVPS Billing Guides & Financial Policies
Everything you need to know about invoices, corporate PayPal checkouts, scaling metrics, and dynamic proration rules.
1. PayPal Gateway Integration & Managed Authorization
TechVPS relies exclusively on **PayPal** to manage secure, global checkout pipelines. This settlement integration ensures top-tier token encryption protection while keeping sensitive payment credentials isolated from local web servers.
One-Time Manual Settlements vs. PayPal Pre-Approved Subscriptions
When selecting your server compute tier, you can pick between two clear authorization models:
- Manual Ad-Hoc Checkouts: Manually clear an invoice each month using standard PayPal checkout sheets.
- Automated Subscriptions: Establish a tokenized billing agreement during checkout. PayPal will automatically renew your host clusters on time each month until you explicitly stop it.
2. The Billing Engine Cycle
All virtual machine assets deploy under a strict calendar-month billing standard. Invoices generate automatically exactly ten (10) days prior to your monthly renewal date.
| Event Horizon Landmark | Target Timeline Window | Automation Action Triggered |
|---|---|---|
| Invoice Issuance | 10 Days Before Due Date | Emailed to profile with direct PayPal payment links. |
| Due Date Settlement | Day 0 of New Cycle | Automated PayPal subscription runs or manual credit balance drops. |
| First Grace Window Overdue | 1 Day Post Due Date | Account hits "Overdue" status. Automated daily reminders begin. |
3. Proration Adjustments for Mid-Cycle Scaling
If you choose to scale your AMD EPYC CPU allocations, add Enterprise NVMe storage arrays, or increase port capacity mid-month, TechVPS uses a precision **hourly proration matrix**.
Our billing engine analyzes the exact remainder of your active monthly cycle, charges you only for the incremental upgrade difference, and applies your existing package payments as an unspent credit balance.
4. Delinquency and Instance Suspension Timeline
To preserve unallocated hypervisor resources for active customers, instances with unpaid or overdue invoices trigger automated preservation protocols:
The Three-Step Enforcement Pipeline
Step 1: Soft Warning (Grace Phase) — For 3 days past the due date, your instances remain fully operational while the platform retries processing via the associated PayPal token.
Step 2: Processing Suspension (Day 4 Overdue) — The host node cuts off external network traffic paths and gracefully shuts down the virtual environment. Internal file systems and configurations remain safe but locked.
Step 3: Cluster Termination (Day 7 Overdue) — If the invoice remains unpaid after 7 consecutive days, the system permanently removes your instance from the physical storage hardware. *Please note: All stored configurations are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered once this stage is reached.*
5. Refund SLA Framework
New customers qualify for our **7-Day Money-Back Guarantee** on standard base resource packages. Refund actions are processed back to your original source account through the PayPal network API layer.
Any customized core network setups, explicit bandwidth overage bills, or server pools flagged for violating the TechVPS Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) are non-refundable.
