Expiration policy

When a Bastionhost subscription expires, the service is automatically suspended. The following rules apply:

  • We will notify you by SMS or email 7 days before your instance expires.

    If you do not renew before the expiration date, the service is suspended upon expiration.

  • After your instance expires, your configurations are retained for 15 days.

    If you renew the instance within this 15-day period, you can continue to use your original configurations. If you do not renew within this period, the configurations are permanently deleted. To continue using the service, you must purchase and configure a new instance. For instructions on purchasing a Bastionhost instance, see Purchase an instance.
