Money-back window
Combine filters →A money-back window is a promise to undo a charge that has already been made, on terms the provider writes and by a process it runs, and the terms are where it thins out: domains and third-party licenses are almost always excluded, monthly plans often are, and the refund is usually claimed through the same support queue as everything else. Thirty days is the shared-hosting habit that most of the market copied. A free trial answers the same worry earlier by never taking the money, which is why the window is recorded here and the exact number of days is left on the record.
5 providers publish a money-back window, listed alphabetically. Mostly Platform as a Service, Virtual Private Servers and shared hosting, of 6 categories in all. 22 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.

Which of these providers is best?
Hard to say without knowing the project. A free tier matters for a side project and barely at all for a shop that loses money every minute it is down. Read a few records side by side; the guide says where to start.
