Domain Ordering REMOVED – As of June 2022 we are no longer providing domain order or domain services for new domains. Existing clients with domains will be able to renew their domains for a significant while after, but eventually we will shutdown our domain account.

These limitations shall apply to the extent permitted in your jurisdiction. In any case, if we are liable for any misrepresentation, negligence of duty, non-performance, tort, breach of contract, restitution or otherwise, our liability shall never exceed the total amount that you paid to 21st Thailand for purchasing any subscription or using services being offered on this website or the minimum amount permitted under the applicable laws governing this Agreement, whichever is less.
All claims shall be initiated within one year from the cause of action, failing which, it shall be deemed that you have waived your right to claim any damages.
Backups and Data Loss
Your use of the service is at your sole risk. 21st Thailand Web Hosting is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred, and to maintain all appropriate backups of files and data stored on 21st Thailand servers and/or 3rd party servers. Regardless of the cause of data loss, 21st Thailand is not in any way to be held liable for data loss or the financial losses caused by such data loss.
Shared Hosting server backups are normally performed every 48 hours, but this is done at our discretion and should not be relied upon. SUSPENDED SHARED HOSTING ACCOUNTS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN BACKUPS (such as accounts suspended for late payment or breaking our terms of service).
Domain Orders – Retired June 2022
As per ICANN guidelines, we will release our client information and use this client information or our company information with our domain registrar. Hence, your information is likely to be used as the Administrative, Billing, and Technical contact information for the domain that you purchase. You may contact support or sign into the client area at any time to update this information.
All account information submitted to 21st Thailand (also used for domain registration information for Registrant, Admin, Technical and Billing sections) must be 100% accurate and true per ICANN requirements.
If we believe or are informed by ICANN/the Registrar that you have submitted false or fabricated information, we will suspend any further access to your hosting account and you may lose your domain. It should also be noted that we use cookies (small files used in internet browsers) on our website, and record the IP addresses of clients accessing their account for security purposes. This information maybe provided to authorities should a client break the laws of Thailand, Singapore, the client’s website’s target country, or the client’s country of residence.
Domain orders should be processed immediately, unless we suddenly receive an excessive amount of domain order or you choose to use the ‘Bank Transfer’ option for making the payment. The domain order will only be processed once payment has been completed and verified. Domain orders where ‘Bank Transfer’ is the chosen payment method will not be registered until payment is completed and a member of staff has time to check the payment and process the order. Also, some domains may require additional details, such as .asia domains as explained on our Domains page. Any domain where the registrar requires extra information or checks will not be registered until the information/check requirements are fulfilled. With Bank transfer payments – in most cases, this will be verified within 24 hours of it’s payment completion (the speed at which a manual order is completed depends on staffing levels and customer service demands at the given time). Hence, if it is important that the domain be secured, we recommend a PayPal payment for instant registration or to contact us before ordering. Due to internet connectivity issues, registrar issues, or server issues, a domain order may not always be applied instantly, even if paying with PayPal. Hence, if you are concerned and do not receive an email shortly after ordering and paying, please email us or open a support ticket.
Large orders or orders paid via bank transfer, or on the rare occasions when many people order from 21st Thailand at the same time, may result in a domain/domains names not being successfully registered or secured until the order is manually processed. The domain is only secured once you receive confirmation.
Therefore, if you do not receive immediate confirmation and the purchase of that particular domain is important to you or your business, please contact us immediately. 21st Thailand is not liable for any damages your business may suffer and makes no warranties of any kind, expressed or implied for domain services provided.
DOMAIN REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS:
The domain registrar (the legal entity that controls domain names) requires you to verify ‘Domain Registrant’ contact information via email. Domains will likely be registered with the information provided in your main 21st Thailand client account – or may be updated to this upon renewal. If there is an issue with verifying a domain, the staff of 21st Thailand reserve the right to register and verify your domain under our company’s email address (this is not always offered, and is done to prevent domain loss and/or manage billing). As we are a Registrant with Namecheap, by using our domain services you must also agree to Namecheap’s “Domain Registration Agreement”. If you are acting as an agent on behalf of someone else, please use your personal information, or that of your client. The verification email you will receive is not from us. It will be titled “Important Notice Regarding Your Domain Name(s)” or “IMMEDIATE VERIFICATION required for [domain name]”, and sent from the domain registrar’s emails “donotreply@name-services.com” or “verification@namecheap.com”. Please be sure to click the link in the email to verify the information as soon as possible. The domain contact information MUST BE VERIFIED within 7 days for updates/reviews, or 15 days for new new domain name registrations. You may get this request upon registration, or renewal of the domain with us (as we randomly check and update account information). Hence, please keep your information up to date and confirm these requests as soon as possible. Not confirming could result in domain suspension, the contact information reverting to a previously verified contact, or in extreme cases the loss of the domain.
Verification of domain registrant is required by ICANN:
https://www.icann.org/.
Should 21st-Thailand come under new management/ownership (this is not planned), domain contact details may also require updating and additional verification in the future by the client. Hence, it is important to keep your information up to date, to check the registered information regularly, and to verify all valid domain verification requests sent from the above stated emails.
Domain Agent Authorization
By purchasing a domain with 21st Thailand, or transferring an existing domain to 21st Thailand, you give us the legal right to control all aspects of the domain[s] held in your 21st Thailand client account – such as to edit registration information, renew, suspend, and terminate domains – allowing us to manage the domain[s] on your behalf. If there should be a serious issue with the company managing 21st Thailand, it is possible you could lose access to your domain. We have setup emergency procedures for most cases, but this is a possibility (such as in the event of a natural disaster). You do not need to have your domain with us to use our hosting or our services, instead you can own a domain with your own registrar account and they/you can set the nameservers to use our hosting. It works exactly the same and is just as fast, but you then have complete control over the domain registrar holding account and domain settings (such as EPP/Auth codes, nameservers, DNS services etc.). In most situations, we won’t make any changes to domains unless requested to do so by the client or due to a legal issue (or as stated above; regarding management of billing). Moreover, the domain will be registered using your client area details (registered domains should be reviewed by clients for registration accuracy every 6-12 months to avoid issues) and held in our registrar account (we are a reseller of domains, we are not a domain registrar).
DISASTER RECOVERY
should there be an issue contacting 21st Thailand (such as a natural disaster), you might be able to claim access to domains registered in your name by contacting the registrar directly (or by using an agent to assist you). To do this, complete this form: “Domain Recover Support Ticket”. It is important for you to keep your domain registration information updated at all times for this reason. Please check and update your contact details in our client area before you contact the registrar. The registrar will not give you access to the account, however you can request an EPP/Auth code so that you can transfer the domain to another provider. This is why it is important to set your information for the “Registrant” contact of the domains information, giving you the right to administer the domain.
Moreover, so long as you have kept regular website backups as we advise, and have forwarded/backed up your emails as we advised in your welcome email, you should be able to transfer your website and hosting without any major downtime. Obviously, we have recovery procedures in place too and hope that these processes are never required. They are listed here as a precaution.
DOMAIN RENEWALS – VERIFY THE CONTACT INFORMATION REGISTERED ON THE DOMAIN IS CORRECT.
It is your responsibility to check the domain is registered correctly with the appropriate details. The domain should be registered with your personal or company information, or that of whom you would like to give legal ownership. If you used an agent previously, or the domain was registered under 21st Thailand’s business details initially, you should update your contact information. This registration information can be checked at https://whois.icann.org/en (if you don’t use privacy protection) or in the 21st Thailand client area. It is important to make sure that domain registrant information is accurate, and to review it regularly (particularly upon renewal). If you have any problems with checking or updating your domain, feel free to contact us.
If a domain is not renewed before it expires and a client then wishes 21st Thailand to recover the domain, a fee of 1000-8000 baht may be charged. This is due to registrar fees and the time spent by staff on the recovery process, as well as the fact that registrars sometimes impose recovery fees on expired domains, and hence, 21st Thailand would need to recoup these costs.
VPS orders involve additional costs and are setup by our server team. Due to this, the customers ordering Thai virtual private servers through our website accept that payments are non-refundable. This means that, unless approved by 21st Thailand Web Hosting or the managing company, there will be no refund given and that you waive any rights under PayPal or other payment services used to make the purchase.
Unpaid VPS services will also be terminated (deleted) one month after a due payment has not been made. Virtual private server users are normally advanced users, and so, should keep a backup of any important files for this reason. VPSs are also normally used for larger projects, and this is why we do not keep them on our servers if the payments aren’t made. If you don’t pay, you have (at most) 30 days to download your files before your account will be terminated. Please note, in some cases the VPS or server may not be suspended before termination. Therefor, be sure to whitelist our email addresses and set up your own reminder for payments.
Tax & VAT
The target customers of 21st-Thailand.com are those based in Thailand, or who’s business is based in Thailand. We assume that all customers are based in Thailand personally or via their company setup and therefor do not pay VAT or other taxes outside of Thailand. If you are a customer, and need us to pay VAT in your jurisdiction outside of Thailand, or you need to pay taxes yourself, it is your responsibility to inform us and have this added to your invoice. If you do not, then should we be contacted for said taxes, it will be your responsibility to pay them (we will invoice you for any taxes owed, and any additional costs – such as penalties or legal fees). Simply put, you are liable for any taxes owed outside of Thailand. However, inside Thailand, we will pay any taxes due on our incomes as required by Thai law.
Invoices are only valid for tax if the invoice was emailed to the client, or downloaded from the client area at the time of payment. Invoices records displayed in your client account can not be used at any time, as these electronic invoice details can change (such as with ownership changes, company changes etc.). The information contained in the client account invoices is not preserved forever. If company details or invoice templates change, the client management system (WHMCS) will change all stored electronic invoices. Hence, invoices should only be downloaded at the time of billing and payment for tax purposes. Previously sent invoices may possibly be incorrect if downloaded from your client account at a later time.
Payments & Refunds
As a client of 21st Thailand, you accept that all payments via any form (including PayPal) are non-refundable. In exceptional circumstances, we may issue ‘account credit’ refunds, such as if our systems under-performed or failed. However, in no way should a payment be cancelled, reported, or recalled from by the client without prior consent from 21st Thailand. By raising a dispute with PayPal, you agree that the dispute should be resolved in favor of our website 21st-thailand.com and/or the company managing it. We will handle complaints fairly: this term of service is to protect us from fraud and incurring costs for customers that later try to cancel or recall the payment.
Support
All support is provided to clients without charge, but only that which is directly related to the hosting package or registered domain[s]. This support is provided via Email or Support Tickets only. Reply times may vary, depending on clients Support Request, situation urgency, details provided and sometimes other factors. Staff work different shifts to try and provide 24/7 coverage, but there may not be someone online 100% of the time (staff have to perform other duties to provide a smooth service and assist clients). That said, support staff normally reply in 0-8 hours, often 0-4 hours, and our server team monitor the servers and have alert systems.
Account Access & Control Policy
When a new account is registered with 21st Thailand, the process requires the creation of customer records for the account.
If a person contacts 21st Thailand and requests access to a client account, hosting, or a domain registered with 21st Thailand, but presently doesn’t have access to the account (such as a forgotten password), 21st Thailand will grant access to the person after confirming his or her account ownership. Contacting us via the registered contact email or the client account shall be deemed as reasonably sufficient for such verification.
If you believe that this information has been obtained by someone or hacked, you must contact us immediately. We will only send information to the registered email. Should you not have access to this email account, you will need to prove your identity by providing the following information, as determined by 21st Thailand staff:
- Full name as registered on the account
- Registered email address/es
- Company or home address as registered on the account
- Registered contact number
- Any payment information associated with the account
- Payment instrument, credit card, or photo identification of the account holder.
If you are unable to provide adequate proof of your account ownership, 21st Thailand will not give access or reset passwords unless served with a verified order of a court or Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), demanding 21st Thailand to grant access to your account.
By using our services, clients acknowledge and accept the aforesaid policies and procedures regarding access and control of user accounts (access and control policy). By consenting to our access and control policy, you also waive your rights to raise any claims (for damages, costs, or otherwise) or initiate proceedings (in the form of a lawsuit or otherwise) against 21st Thailand for your inability to access any user account.
Account Setup / Email on file
We will setup your account after we have received payment and the transaction has screened for fraud or unauthorized use of payment instruments. This process can take 1-12 hours, depending upon the information provided. In many cases, screening can be almost instant. It is your responsibility to provide us with an email address which is not @ the domain(s) you are signing up under. If there is ever an abuse issue or we need to contact you, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure the email address on file is current or up to date at all times.
Not being able to contact may result in the termination of your account or services. As the account details may also be used for domain registration, it is possible that the domain could be lost in the future should ICANN deem the information false. Hence, it is important to only use correct information.Clients shall be legally responsible for any and all uses of their account, whether being used by them or any third party on their behalf. Should the account use compromise server security, the account holder will be liable for all violations of the terms of service. We advise using strong passwords, report any suspected breach immediately, and do not give access to any other parties. If clients use a form of ‘social sign in’ to register or use their account, they must make sure that these social accounts are also kept secure. Wherever possible, we recommend using two step verification for your registered email[s] and social account[s], along with strong passwords that are not repeated anywhere else in order to keep your account secure. Using a password manager can help to keep track of passwords and to make the use of strong passwords much easier.
It should be noted that our data retention policy for accounting (invoices/receipts), client account profiles and records, tickets, and any other information submitted to us is set to 72 months from the time that a client becomes inactive. Important Note: It is the presence of paid invoices, transactions, active products, or client logins that define which client records are kept or removed.
To ensure that all emails are received, please add support [at] 21st-thailand.com and any other emails we use to contact you to your email provider’s white-list/safe-list. This will help to make sure emails are received. Renewals of domains, hosting, and other services will ONLY BE ADVISED VIA EMAIL. Hence, it is important to add these email addresses or to at least regularly check your spam folder or our client area.

If an audit is performed, and your password is found to be weak, we will notify you and allow time for you to change/update your password.
Zero Tolerance Spam Policy
The zero tolerance spam policy only applies to shared hosting, as Thai VPS and Thailand dedicated servers are managed by the customer and we do not monitor their files or activities unless a complaint is lodged.
We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail, bulk emailing, and spam. “Safe lists” and “double opt-in” may be treated as spam if setup incorrectly. The PHP mail() function is disabled on all shared hosting to prevent spamming from our servers. Hence, all contact forms, lead forms, or email scripts need to use a designated real SMTP email account to send emails. Any user who sends out spam will have their account suspended or terminated, with or without any prior notice, based on the seriousness of the issue.
Sites advertised via SPAM (Spamvertised) may not be hosted on our servers. This provision includes, but is not limited to SPAM sent via fax, email, instant messaging, or Usenet/newsgroups. No organization or entity listed in the ROKSO may be hosted on our servers. Any account that causes our IP space being blacklisted will be suspended / terminated immediately.
21st Thailand reserves a right to disable any web site, account, database, or aspect of the Services that do not comply with its established policies unless necessary changes are made in compliance with the applicable policies and practices. 21st Thailand may make any such modifications at its sole discretion. 21st Thailand may charge a clean up fee for any account that is used to send any unsolicited e-mails. The clean up fee charge is entirely at the discretion of 21st Thailand.
Transfers
Website transfers only apply to shared hosting plans. Our transfers 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.
The free transfer services are available for 30 days from your signup date. Transfers after this 30 days free period may incur a charge. Please contact 21st Thailand with specific details to receive a price quote.
Whenever moving hosting to a new hosting service, it is important to thoroughly check the hosted website[s] after being moved. As every server has a different software and hardware configuration, it is possible for some aspects of a website to require fixing/updating/changing. Common issues include PHP compatibility, old plugins not working, contact forms not sending emails, website not loading, etc. If you need assistance, please contact support. However, as website development is not one of our services, it may be that a developer is required to update/fix the website. We will of course help as much as possible to resolve any issues.
Payment Information
You shall provide a valid payment instrument and consent to authorize advance payment for the services you are about to receive during the next subscription period. All subscriptions and service charges shall be billed in advance on a recurring basis until and unless you notify 21st Thailand of your desire to cancel any or all services.
All cancellations requests must be made in writing via Email or our client Support Ticket System. Once we receive your cancellation request and have confirmed all necessary information with you, we will inform you in writing (typically email) that your account has been canceled. An employee will confirm your request (and process your cancellation) shortly thereafter. If you do not hear back from us, or do not receive the automatic confirmation email within a few minutes after submitting your cancellation, please contact us immediately via phone. We require that cancellations of service are done through email to (a) confirm your identity, (b) confirm in writing you are prepared for all files/emails to be removed, and (c) document the request. This process is intended to reduce the chances of mistakes or fraudulent/malicious requests and make you aware that all files, emails, and content associated with the account will be removed immediately after a cancellation request is processed.
As a client of 21st Thailand, it is your responsibility to ensure that your payment information is up to date and that all invoices are paid on time. The email address provided to us as the main contact email must be kept up to date and checked regularly. It is also advised that clients set a calendar reminder for the dates of expiration of any services provided by 21st Thailand (such as hosting plans, domain names etc.). 21st Thailand provides a 10 day grace period from the time the invoice is due and when it must be paid. Any invoice that is overdue for 10 days and not paid will result in a 10% late fee and/or an account suspension until account balance has been paid in full.
21st Thailand reserves the right to change the payment amount and any other charges at any time.
Cancellations and Refunds
21st Thailand reserves a right to cancel your account at any time with or without any prior notice.
Abusing the Site and Services or using foul language against our staff in any media or manner will result in a suspension / termination of your account. You may also cancel your subscription at any time by sending a written request at support [at] 21st-thailand.com. Non payment of invoices will also result in suspension, later to be followed by cancellation and deletion of the account.
All subscribers who have paid their first invoice will be entitled to an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee on managed shared hosting. However, no refunds will be applicable on VPS, dedicated servers, administrative fees, install fees for custom software, or domain name purchases. Refund requests for shared accounts after the initial 30 days may be refunded on a prorated basis of any unused time at the sole discretion of 21st Thailand.
Only first-time accounts/clients shall be eligible for a refund. For example, if you’ve had an account with us before, canceled and signed up again, you will not be eligible for a refund, even if you have opened a second ‘new’ account with us.
No refunds shall be admissible for the accounts that are canceled, suspended, or terminated for violating this Agreement. Refunds may not be possible if you or your company are not legally registered in the Kingdom of Thailand for tax purposes.
Resource Usage
You should acknowledge and consent that you will not:
- Use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
- Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
- Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
- Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
- Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
- Participate in any file-sharing or peer-to-peer activities.
- Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc.
- Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes. When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include (“http://yourdomain.com/include.php”) use include (“include.php”).
INODES
All shared hosting user accounts shall be subject to a maximum of 50,000 inodes. Exceeding this limit may result in a suspension of your account. Accounts found to be using more than 50,000 inode will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage. Please acknowledge that every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode.
Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are not likely to be suspended, but accounts that constantly create/delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or otherwise cause any damage to file system may be flagged for review and/or suspension.
Leaving catchall address enabled and not bothering to check your primary account mailbox may lead to excessive inodes usage. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) may build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose “Mail”, then “Default Address”, “Set Default Address”, and then type in: :fail: No such user here
Bandwidth Usage
You will be allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance may vary depending on the hosting package you purchase. In case you consume your allocated bandwidth before the end of current month, we shall be entitled to:
- Suspend your account during the rest period of your current unless you purchase more bandwidth at an additional fee or upgrade to a higher level package.
- Charge an additional fee for the use of bandwidth in excess of your monthly allocation.
- Terminate your account for violating our fair resource usage.
Unused bandwidth shall expire at the end of the current month and in no case carried over to the next month.
Suspension and Termination of Unpaid Accounts
Shared hosting accounts that are not paid for on time will be suspended automatically after 10 days from the invoice due date. Failure to pay after 3 months from the date of suspension will result in the account being terminated. Once terminated, the hosting account (including emails, websites, and all other files) will not be recoverable. Hence, if you intended to pay after more than 3 months from the due date, please contact us so that we can provide you with temporary access to backup your website. We recommended all clients backup regularly regardless.
Thailand VPS or dedicated servers will be terminated once one month overdue, whether in active or suspended state (our system cannot automatically suspend all types of VPS, and so you may not get this warning). You will receive numerous payment reminders before this occurs.
Missing payments and not providing a good contact email address that you check regularly could result in an account termination that you may miss, especially if you don’t check often. Please always check your contact information is up to date.
Uptime Guarantee
21st Thailand is committed to providing 99.9 percent uptime, but any physical downtime caused by your shared server hosting account will be excluded while determining this 99.9% uptime. If your uptime is less than 99.9 percent, you may be entitled to a client account credit equivalent to one-month of hosting, depending upon the web hosting package you have (1/12th of the hosting package’s price per annum or an extension of 30 days). However, approval of any credit is at the sole discretion of 21st Thailand and only available after we have determined the cause of any downtime.
Third party monitoring or service reports may not be used for justification due to a variety of factors, including the monitor’s network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services.
To request a credit, please contact us with justification. All requests must be made in writing via email. Uptime guarantee applies to only shared hosting.
A credit equivalent to your one month of your hosting package’s price shall be the sole remedy for any loss resulting from our failure to provide this uptime assurance. 21st Thailand or any connected parties (such as our data centers, owner, managing company, staff etc.) shall not be liable for any claim, liabilities, or damages to you or your clients for any loss of business. 21st Thailand makes no warranties of any kind, expressed or implied for the services provided.
Price Change
All prices, promotions, or special offers shall be subject to change at any time. However, the applicable price for hosting services from the date of your purchase will not be changed unless a price increase becomes necessary for providing the services (we try to keep prices the same for existing clients).
We reserve a right to change the prices listed on 21st-Thailand.com or increase the amount of resources applicable to listed plans at any time. We may also make occasional changes to the existing plans.
Indemnification
You shall indemnify and defend 21st Thailand, its parent, partners, subsidiaries, licensors, service providers, affiliates, assigns, and each of their directors, officers, employees and agents (indemnified parties), holding them harmless from any and all demands, liabilities, losses, costs and claims, including reasonable attorney’s fees that may arise out of or relate to:
