Depending on the provider's settings, two types of payments are available in your client area:
- advance payment — you top up the balance of the Personal account in any convenient way, and then pay for services with it. You can also enable auto-renewal from your Personal account and thus configure auto-payment for your services;
- payment for the service by the selected payment method — you pay for the service directly by any payment method without using your personal account. For example, by bank card or transfer. You can also save your bank card or e-wallet details in Payment methods. You can then use this card or wallet to pay for services and subscribe to services. Read more about this in Payment methods.
Advance payment
You can issue an advance payment invoice if you want to top up your personal account balance and use the money to buy new services or renew existing ones.
If you create an advance payment without linking to a specific service, the invoice will indicate "Advance payment".

Saved payment methods can be used for subscriptions — selected services will be automatically renewed from the specified card or e-wallet. Read more in Payment methods .

When paying for a particular service you will be redirected to the payment system’s web page. After your payment has been processed, the service will be activated
Payment for addons
For some services, you can change the amount or value of resources. For example, you have bought a virtual server with 100 GB of disk size. While using the service, you realized that you need more disk space. To increase the disk size, in the Client area you change the configuration of the service and buy an addon in the amount you need.
To change the service configuration, select the required service and press Configuration. Change the value or amount of the addon and press Pay for changes or Go to cart. If you press Pay for changes, a form will open with the choice of payment method, and then you will be able to pay for the change in the resource in the same way as paying for services. If you press Go the cart, the resource change is sent to the cart. You can continue shopping and then pay for the entire cart at once.
The cart cannot contain two operations on the same service at the same time.
For example, you increase the disk size for the "Virtual server" service and add the change to the shopping cart. Next, you add auto-renewal of this service to the shopping cart. The first operation will be removed from the cart.
Exception: if the service is stopped, both of these operations may be in the shopping cart at the same time.
Provider can change the addon or delete it. In this case, if the addon was in your cart, it will be removed from it.
