Clients are encouraged to pay by Bank Deposit or Mobile Money as it is the easiest way to handle payment at this time. There are no contract periods but for each successive period, your contract will be renewed once we receive notification of renewal payment otherwise the account is disabled after a 'grace' period which will not be without notification.

If the account is bigger than 2GB, Ultrahostghana reserves the right not to generate the backup automatically.

Ultrahostghana stores a single automatically generated backup of each account which is up to 7 days old and up to 3GB in size, older automatically generated backups of accounts are not stored. Ultrahostghana is not liable for any loss of content if the backup has not been generated or doesn't include all of client's data, it is the client's sole responsibility to backup and safeguard the account data.
