At Ucartz, we believe in complete transparency. We do not include any hidden charges in our pricing. All costs are clearly mentioned on our website and invoices before you make a purchase. However, there are a few specific cases where setup or consultation fees may apply, mainly for advanced dedicated or custom-managed solutions.
1. No Setup Fees for Hosting Services
For the majority of our hosting products, such as:
- Shared Hosting
- VPS Hosting
- Reseller Hosting
- Shoutcast / Icecast Streaming
- Video Hosting
there are no setup fees or hidden charges. The price you see on our website is exactly what you pay. Everything is handled automatically by our billing system, and your service is provisioned instantly after payment confirmation.
2. Setup or Consultation Fees for Selected Dedicated and Managed Solutions
In a few special cases, setup or consultation charges may apply — but only when our DevOps or system engineers are required to build a custom architecture for your project or solution. This usually includes:
- *Selected Custom-configured or high-end dedicated servers
- Enterprise-level managed infrastructure
- Projects that need DevOps engagement for design, deployment, or optimization
These fees are discussed and confirmed before you purchase the service. They are charged only to cover the time and expertise our engineers invest in planning and implementing your architecture , similar to a professional consultation fee.
3. Hire an Expert or Administrator Services
For our Hire an Expert or Hire Administrator services, we do not charge any setup fees. Instead, we charge based on the estimated number of hours required to complete your requested task.
The process is simple:
- We assess the task and provide an estimated time and cost in advance.
- The invoice is generated and paid before the work begins.
- If the work takes slightly longer than expected, we usually do not charge any additional amount.
- However, if new requirements or additional tasks are introduced by the client, extra time may be billed separately.
4. No Hidden Costs Policy
Ucartz maintains a strict no hidden costs policy. All charges — whether for hosting, support, or add-ons — are clearly displayed before checkout. You’ll never be surprised by unexpected fees after signing up.
