Getting started with Hostbox is straightforward. You choose a plan or domain on our website, place an order, and pay by card or bank transfer. Once your payment is confirmed, your service goes live. This guide walks you through the whole flow.
Placing an order
Everything begins on the Hostbox website. Browse our hosting plans or search for a domain, then add what you need and complete the checkout. After you place your order, Hostbox creates an invoice and shows you how to pay.
Choosing how to pay
At checkout you choose how to pay: by card or by bank (wire) transfer. Pick whichever suits you, then complete the payment to activate your service.
Pay by card
Paying by card is the fastest option. Your payment is processed on the spot, and your service activates right after a successful payment, with no waiting.
Pay by bank transfer
Prefer to pay from your bank? Choose bank transfer and you'll receive payment instructions with the amount and the bank details to send your transfer to. Your service activates once Hostbox confirms the transfer has arrived.
Select your plan or domain on the website and complete checkout.
Pick card for instant activation, or bank transfer to pay from your bank.
Pay by card on the spot, or send the transfer using the amount and bank details in your email and dashboard.
Card payments activate right away; bank transfers activate once Hostbox confirms the funds.
Paying by bank transfer? Always include your order reference in the transfer description. This helps us match your payment quickly so your service activates without delay.
When your service activates
Card payments are confirmed instantly, so your hosting or domain goes live right after you pay. Bank transfers can take a little time to arrive, so there may be a short wait between paying and activation while Hostbox confirms your transfer has landed.
Finding your orders and invoices
Every order and invoice lives in your Hostbox dashboard. Sign in and open the billing area to review what you've ordered, see invoice amounts, and check whether a payment is still due. Keeping an eye on this section is the easiest way to stay on top of your account.
If a payment doesn't show as confirmed after a reasonable time, reach out to our team at Support. You can also browse more guides in our knowledge base at Knowledge Base.
