What Is Account Credit?
Account credit is like a prepaid balance on your YourCheapHost account. Instead of paying each invoice one by one with your card, you deposit funds upfront, and future invoices are automatically deducted from your credit balance.
How to Add Credit
- Log into the client area at billing.yourcheaphost.com
- Go to Billing > Add Funds (or look for Account Credit / Deposit Funds on the dashboard)
- Enter the amount you want to deposit (in MYR or your local currency)
- Choose your payment method - credit or debit card
- Click Submit and complete the payment
The credit appears in your account instantly after payment is confirmed.
How Credits Apply to Invoices
When a new invoice is generated, our system does this automatically:
- Checks if you have enough account credit to cover the full invoice amount
- If yes - the invoice is marked as Paid immediately using your credit
- If no - the invoice stays unpaid. You can pay the remaining balance manually, or top up your credit first
- Any leftover credit after paying an invoice stays on your account for future use
You can also manually apply credit to an unpaid invoice from the invoice details page by clicking Pay Now and selecting Account Credit as the payment method.
Important Things to Know
- Credit never expires - it stays on your account until you use it
- Credit is non-refundable - once deposited, it can't be withdrawn or transferred to another account. Think of it like a prepaid reload
- Minimum deposit is RM10 (or equivalent in your currency)
- No auto-reload - we don't automatically top up your credit when it runs low. You add funds whenever you want
- You can check your current credit balance at the top of the client area or under Billing > Account Credit
Why Use Account Credit?
It's handy if:
- You want to "set and forget" - add a chunk of credit and let invoices auto-pay for months
- You don't want to use your card on every single invoice
- You're managing multiple services and want one balance to cover everything
