How to pay
Go by what the provider’s checkout page shows — look before ordering. Common options on overseas sites:
- Credit card (Visa, Mastercard…): the card must allow overseas payments;
- PayPal: link a bank card in PayPal first;
- Alipay (支付宝): the recommended BandwagonHost accepts it — choose it and scan to pay; for other providers, check the checkout page.
Prices are usually in US dollars, converted at the day’s rate.
Things to watch
- Pay only on the provider’s official site. Never pay through personal transfers or links in chat apps.
- For your first purchase, quarterly billing is safer; switch to yearly once you’re happy.
- Card declined? Usually overseas payments aren’t enabled or the bank’s risk control blocked it — a call to the bank fixes it.
- Keep the payment email and order number for renewals, refunds and tickets.
- Read the refund policy first; many providers only refund within a short period after purchase.
Stuck?
Paid, but the order says pending?
Some providers review new orders manually, from minutes to hours. No change after a day? Open a ticket.
No usable payment method at checkout?
Try another provider or another payment method (for example, sign up for PayPal first).
