Your iWebVault invoice contains everything you need for accounting, taxes, and verifying what you’re paying for — once you know how to read it. This guide breaks down each section, covers the most common billing questions, and walks through invoice management from the client area.
Where to find your invoices
Log into your client area. Three main billing locations:
- Billing → My Invoices — every invoice ever, sorted by date. Filterable by status (paid, unpaid, overdue, cancelled).
- Billing → Quotes — for any pre-purchase quotes generated for you.
- Services → My Products & Services — service-by-service invoice history. Useful when you want to see all invoices for a specific service over time.
Click any invoice number to view full details. The Download PDF button gives you a clean, printable copy — useful for accounting and tax records.
Anatomy of a typical invoice
A standard iWebVault invoice looks like this:
- Header — company name (iWebVault Technologies), business address, invoice number, dates.
- Bill To — your account name (or business name if you’ve set one), email on file, contact details.
- Invoice details — issue date, due date, current status (Unpaid / Paid / Overdue / Cancelled).
- Line items — each service or product being billed, with description, billing period, and amount.
- Subtotal, Taxes, Total — the math at the bottom.
- Payment instructions — how to pay, including links to crypto and card options.
Understanding the line items
Each line item describes one thing you’re being charged for. Most line items fit into one of these categories:
Recurring service charges
The bulk of most invoices. Example:
Anonymous cPanel Hosting — Business plan (yourdomain.com) — Renewal — 2026-06-01 to 2026-06-30 — $14.99
This is one month’s renewal of one hosting service. The period dates show exactly what time range you’re paying for.
One-time charges
Setup fees, add-on purchases, restoration fees from backups, domain registration/transfer fees. These appear once, not as recurring lines. Example:
Domain Registration — yourdomain.com — 1 year — $9.99
Prorated charges
When you upgrade mid-cycle, the new plan is billed prorated for the remaining time. You’ll see a credit for the unused portion of the old plan and a charge for the remaining portion of the new plan. Example:
Credit — Anonymous cPanel Hosting Starter (prorated 11 days unused) — -$3.66Anonymous cPanel Hosting Business (prorated 19 days) — $9.49
The math is by days remaining, not by exact hours.
Credits and adjustments
Negative line items applied to your account — refunds, goodwill credits, overpayment credits. Example:
Credit Note — Service downtime compensation (incident #4521) — -$5.00
Taxes
iWebVault as an offshore provider does not charge VAT or US sales tax. The taxes line on your invoice will typically read $0.00.
This doesn’t mean you’re exempt from reporting hosting expenses on your own taxes — your local jurisdiction may treat foreign hosting purchases differently. Consult a local accountant for specifics; what we do is provide invoices clear enough for your accounting to use.
Invoice statuses, in plain terms
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unpaid | Issued but not yet due. Pay any time. |
| Due | Due date reached. Pay soon. |
| Overdue | Past due. Pay quickly to avoid suspension. |
| Paid | Payment confirmed. Service active. |
| Cancelled | Invoice voided — usually because the service was cancelled before the invoice’s period. |
| Refunded | Paid but later refunded. |
| Collections | Long-overdue invoice on a terminated account. Rare. |
Updating your billing info
Two separate updates that often get confused:
Updating your contact info (for invoices)
- Client area → top-right user menu → Edit Account Details.
- Update name, address, phone, company name.
- Save. New invoices use the updated details from now on; past invoices stay as issued.
Updating your payment method
- Billing → Manage Credit Card.
- Update card details or remove the existing one.
- For crypto, no stored info — just select Cryptomus at the next invoice payment.
Common invoice questions
“Why am I being billed twice in one month?” Usually because two different services have overlapping renewal dates. Check each line item’s service description and period — typically you’ll see two separate invoices for two separate things.
“My invoice shows a credit but the total isn’t reduced.” Credits are applied to subsequent invoices, not retroactively to the current one. Check the next invoice — the credit appears there.
“I cancelled but I still got an invoice.” If cancellation was set to “end of period”, the next invoice for the period after cancellation isn’t generated. If you got one anyway, the cancellation may not have processed — open a ticket referencing the invoice number.
“Can I get an invoice for accounting purposes with my business name on it?” Update your account details (above) and ask us to reissue. New invoices can also include a custom company name, tax ID, or VAT number if your business needs it on documents.
“The currency on my invoice doesn’t match my bank.” All iWebVault invoices are in USD. Your bank converts at their FX rate when you pay by card. The amount on the invoice is what we charge; what your bank actually withdraws can vary by 1-3% depending on rates.
“How do I get a receipt after paying with crypto?” Once the payment confirms, the invoice automatically marks as Paid. The “Paid” invoice itself is your receipt — download the PDF. We can also issue a separate receipt on request via ticket.
Disputing an invoice
If something looks wrong, contact us before just refusing to pay:
- Open the invoice you have questions about.
- Open a ticket, referencing the invoice number.
- Describe what looks wrong and what you expected.
Genuinely incorrect invoices get corrected — that’s not in dispute. Our team can issue credits, void invoices, or reissue with corrected details when warranted. Use the ticket process; don’t initiate a chargeback at your bank before talking to us. Chargebacks cost both sides significantly and damage the support relationship.
What’s next
- Renewal process and how to pay: Payment methods and renewal.
- Anonymous payment options: Choosing a crypto payment method.
- Just signed up? Your first 24 hours.
Most invoices are routine. The ones that aren’t almost always resolve in one ticket exchange — clarity beats guessing on either side.
