A user account is an account used to log in to our website and panels. It has access to the data of one customer account. A user account belongs to a user. There can be multiple user accounts with access to a customer account (for example if multiple employees need to access a company account).
A customer account is an account that has invoices, quotes, services and other customer-specific data assigned to it. This data can be accessed by a customer or an employee of a customer using a user account associated with the customer account. A customer account belongs to a customer.
A user is a person (typically a customer or employee of a customer) that has access to a user account.
A customer is a natural or legal entity holding a customer account. In our acceptable use policy, it also refers to every user linked to the customer account in question.
A server is a dedicated or shared, virtual or physical instance of a general server, game server, voice server or other server software.

Please note that account reactivation is at the sole discretion of the host. When a customer account is terminated the host automatically terminates all services associated with the customer account as soon as termination is possible (usually this is instantly but if a service has a minimum commitment this can be different). Terminated accounts can still be invoiced for any services that could not be terminated instantly. No products will be refunded in case of a customer account termination. If you plan to close your account please make sure to request a refund beforehand. The host may delete terminated customer accounts at any time.
