Notes about Fantasico: Softaculous Premium is an auto installer within CPanel, that will automatically install Free Open Source software with just a few clicks. A list of a few of the scripts in Softaculous Premium are shown below . For a more comprehensive list please click here.
Please note that you don't need to have Softaculous Premium as part of your hosting plan, to install the scripts below, as they are all open source scripts, and are free for anyone to install. Softaculous Premium just makes installation of these scripts easier and faster, via an auto installer. If you are joining our Corporate Web Plan, you can install the software in Softaculous Premium, by visiting our Softaculous Premium webpage, and clicking on the 'website' link of the software title that you would like to install. You can then download the software directly from the developers website, and manually install the software into your hosting space. |

|

Payment can be made by Personal Cheque, Company Cheque, Automatic Payments, and Direct Credit. We prefer payments are made by Automatic Payment or Direct Credit. All hosting plans are pay in advance.
|
Additional Fees and Charges: |
Dedicated IP address (required for your own secure certificate) |
Please contact us for a price.
(billed 12 months in advance) |
Account Upgrade/Downgrade |
No additional charge (server space permitting). Some hosting plans can't be downgraded. |
Corporate Web Plan Resource Packs |
Please view pricing of the resource packs on the Corporate Web Hosting plan page. |
* Our Corporate & Business Class Web Plans have specific Terms and Conditions, that can be viewed by clicking here.
** We offer FREE setup for most web hosting plans. However if you signup and we setup your hosting account, and then you want to cancel soon after signing up and you haven't paid your hosting invoice from us, you be charged an account administration fee. This fee will either be $25 inc GST, or it will be the initial invoiced hosting amount, whichever is the lesser amount. This fee will cover our time in setting up, and then canceling the hosting account. This administration fee does not apply to hosting clients who have already paid for their web hosting account, and then decide to cancel it at a later date.
*** Some hosting plans have a minimum 12 month term, and are prepay. Our billing month starts at the beginning of the calendar month, and ends on the last day of the calendar month. Therefore when you order a hosting plan, you must pay for the next full month/s of web hosting, plus a pro rata payment for the remaining days of the billing month that you signup in. People who choose to pay by credit card, will incur an additional 5% surcharge/convenience fee, which will be added onto the invoice.
If you ever need to cancel your hosting account at any time, you MUST let us know by filling in our cancellation form. Notice of cancellation must be made at least 10 days BEFORE the end of your current billing cycle, otherwise you will be charged for the next full term of your hosting. All hosting accounts are prepay. Please note that we do not offer pro rata refunds for unused days, weeks, months or years of hosting. For more information, please read our 'General Hosting Conditions', located in our 'Terms Of Service'. This can be found by clicking here.
