To check if your domain qualifies for a refund under the Hostinger Refund Policy<\/a> and to process the cancellation:<\/p>

<\/li>\n- If the invoice is not listed or the button is labeled Non-refundable<\/strong>, the domain is not eligible for a refund.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
- Follow the on-screen instructions, select your preferred refund method and submit the request. If you plan to register a new domain right away, it is recommended to select Hostinger balance<\/a> as your refund method, so the refunded amount is applied instantly to your next purchase.<\/li>\n<\/ol>
In case your current domain is non-refundable, you can still register another name by paying the regular price. Simply disable auto-renewal<\/a> for the incorrect domain, and it will remain active until its expiration date for you to use, transfer or sell<\/a>.<\/p>
