Account Transfers: Our team will make every effort to help you move your site to us. However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and we cannot make guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult if not impossible to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best but in some cases, we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host. Generally, we will only provide the free transfer of all site files and databases. Transfer of email accounts, or re-configuration of PHP/ASP .NET applications on our servers are done at an extra cost. Free account transfers are provided on a best-effort basis.

Domains registered through this policy are the property of Data2save / Studio D2S. However, as long as the free domain has not expired, and the hosting account it is associated with has had all outstanding payments paid for, the customer has the right to transfer the domain name away to their choice of provider. Data2save / Studio D2S guarantees this right.
Account Cancellation: All requests for canceling accounts must be made in writing on the day of the cancellation through e-mail sent to sales. The email can be found on our contact page.
