At Hostinger, invoices for service renewals are generated in two ways:
- If auto-renewal is enabled, an advance invoice is generated a few days before the end of the billing cycle. Advance invoices are internal system invoices used to process upcoming renewals and are not shown in your account.
- If auto-renewal is disabled, the invoice is generated when you start the manual renewal process.
Advance invoices cannot be canceled manually. If left unpaid, they are automatically voided depending on the service type:
- For most services, the advance invoice remains active for 7 days after the original expiration date. If the invoice is not paid within this period, it is automatically deleted. You do not need to take any action.
- For domains, the advance invoice remains active until the domain’s expiration date. If it is not paid, the invoice is voided when the domain expires. To reactivate the domain after that date, follow this guide: How to renew an expired domain.
These renewal invoices help manage upcoming service expirations and complete the renewal when needed.
NOTES
- While an advance invoice is active and unpaid, your subscription’s expiration date may temporarily appear as the extended renewal date. If the advance invoice is voided, the expiration date reverts to the original date.
- Unpaid services are suspended when they reach the expiration date.
- If an advance invoice has already been generated, you cannot change the billing cycle or upgrade the service until the invoice is paid.
