How To Cancel Your FastComet Account + Get a Refund in 2023

You might be looking to cancel your FastComet account because of the relatively limited amount of SSD storage with its entry-level shared hosting plan. Or maybe you’re looking to see if its plans are easy to cancel before you sign up.

In any case, this article will take you step-by-step through the process of cancelling your FastComet account and services.

I recommend checking out Hostinger if you’re looking for a web host with more storage and better performance. Hostinger scored very highly in our testing – and its basic plan offers double the volume of storage as FastComet’s at a similar price.

Quick Guide: How To Cancel FastComet and Get a Full Refund

1. To begin cancellation, head over to the FastComet website and log in to your account dashboard.
2. Click the gray area on the left. By default, the left-hand menu bar items are collapsed. To expand them (and see them more clearly), click in the empty gray area.
3. Click Products. After expanding the left-hand menu bar, click on the Products link to again bring up another context menu.
4. Click My Products. Click the My Products link to be brought to a page with all of your current hosting services.
5. Click View Details. Click the View Details button on the right-hand side to bring up yet another context menu.
6. Click Request Cancellation. In the new context menu that pops up, click the Request Cancellation menu item at the bottom.
7. Select when you want to cancel. At this point, you’ll be asked when you want to cancel your services: immediately, or at the end of your billing period.
8. Provide a reason and click Request Cancellation. After you type in a reason for cancellation, click the Request Cancellation link. Click through the final screens to finish the process.

My Experience: Here’s How I Cancelled My FastComet Account

To begin your account cancellation, the first step is to head over to the FastComet website and log in to your account dashboard. From there, click on the empty gray area on the left-hand side to expand the menu options (they’re collapsed by default).

Here’s the same screen again, only now the previously collapsed menu items are visible.

Now you’ll be able to click on Products to pull up a context menu. Then, click My Products.

To the right of your domain name, underneath the blue Filter button, you’ll see a gray View Details button. Click it.

This will bring up another context menu. In the new menu that appears, click Request Cancellation.

Choose whether you want your services to terminate immediately or at the end of the billing period. If you want a refund at this stage, please select Immediate. If you want to continue using your services until they expire, you can select End of Billing Period instead.

Make a selection, then click Request Cancellation.

Enter your master password, then click Proceed to complete the cancellation process.

You should see this green confirmation box once you’ve successfully completed the cancellation process. And you’re done! FastComet promises a refund within 7-10 business days, but it usually arrives much more quickly.

3 Best FastComet Alternatives for Shared Hosting

We’ve tested the following web hosts below that have excelled in areas where FastComet fell short.

Hostinger

Hostinger is a top hosting provider that scored highly in our testing. The entry-level Single shared hosting plan is an affordable choice if you’re just starting out with your first website. That, and it offers double the SSD storage of FastComet’s basic plan.

Nexcess

Nexcess uses a cloud-based hosting platform, which can handle large surges of traffic to your site. Also, its WordPress plans are managed, so the support team will help you optimize and maintain your site. Nexcess is thus a bit more expensive than FastComet, but it delivers excellent value for money if you’re taking your site to the next level.

InterServer

Compared to FastComet, InterServer’s Standard shared hosting plan is more generous with its resource offerings, with unlimited SSD storage, bandwidth, email accounts, and even websites. InterServer’s reasonable price is available on a monthly basis as well, so you don’t have to commit to a year or more to get the best deal.

FastComet Makes It Super-Easy To Cancel Your Account and Get a Refund

FastComet makes cancelling your account and services as easy as it gets. All I had to do was log in to my account dashboard, click on Products, locate my hosting service, and proceed to cancellation from there.

Furthermore, the 45-day money-back guarantee enabled me to reclaim my funds. I obtained my refund in approximately 2-3 days, a timeframe quicker than FastComet’s promised period.
