What GreatHosts does not claim

Clear limits are part of the service description.

  • GreatHosts does not claim to own the datacenters or physical servers.
  • We do not publish security capabilities such as DDoS protection, malware scanning or datacenter physical-security claims unless they are specifically documented.
  • We do not publish comparative speed claims against other control panels without controlled evidence.
  • Managed-service features are described only when they are included or orderable in the live plan data.

Payments and customer data

GreatHosts does not receive or store card credentials. Payment processing is handled by LiquidNet where the checkout flow requires payment. GreatHosts may retain limited checkout-recovery data only where the customer explicitly opts in, according to the site privacy notice.

Trial and refund terms

Shared hosting offers a 30-day limited-functionality trial. Refund and cancellation rights for paid services are governed by the applicable terms shown before purchase; domains, SSL and server products may follow different rules.

Verify before you buy

Use the live control-panel demo, product tables, service-status page and contractual terms rather than relying only on marketing copy.
