Within a month
Combine filters →The common shape for hosting paid up front: cancel and the service runs to the end of the period already bought. Nothing is refunded and nothing further is owed. The distinction from within a day is what was paid for, not how often the invoice arrives — a month bought in advance is a month committed, and a month billed in arrears is not. It is short enough that the commitment rarely affects a decision, which is why most providers land here and why the bands above it are the ones worth noticing.
38 providers can be left within a month, listed alphabetically. Mostly shared hosting, Platform as a Service and serverless, of 13 categories in all. 144 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.
