How to apply a ZevsHost promo code and get a discount

ZevsHost regularly runs promotions and issues promo codes for new and existing clients. Discounts reach 30% off the first payment or a renewal.

Where to find promo codes

• Promotions page — zevshost.net/promos
• Email newsletter — subscribe to updates
• Affiliate program — partners get unique codes, details in the ZevsHost affiliate program
• Social media — follow the announcements

Applying it when ordering a new plan

1. Go to the plans page and choose a plan
2. Click Order
3. On the checkout page, find the Promo code field
4. Enter the code and click Apply
5. Make sure the discount is reflected in the total
6. Complete the payment — payment methods are listed in how to pay for hosting

Applying it to an existing service

1. Log in to your account at billing.zevshost.net
2. Go to the Services section
3. Select the plan you need → Renew
4. Enter the promo code in the payment form

How a Promo Code Changes the Order Total

The discount is applied to the billing period's price before payment, not refunded to the balance after the full amount is charged.

Example:
Pro plan — $5.00/mo
Promo code for a 30% discount
Discount: $5.00 x 30% = $1.50
Total due: $5.00 - $1.50 = $3.50

If the promo code only applies to the first billing period, the next renewal will be invoiced at the plan's full price — worth factoring in when planning a budget a year ahead.

Common Mistakes When Entering a Promo Code

• An extra space before or after the code when copying it from an email
• The code was copied incompletely — the last character got cut off
• The code is meant for new clients but is being entered for renewing an existing service
• The code had already expired by the time the order was placed
• The code is single-use and was already used on another order

Promo code terms

Can Two Promo Codes Be Used at Once

The order form usually accepts one promo code per order. Combining several codes, or a promo code with an affiliate discount within the same payment, is generally not supported — the exact limits for a specific promotion are stated in its terms on the promotions page.

When a Promo Code Won't Work

• If it is meant for a different type of service — for example a VPS code applied to shared hosting
• If the billing period is already partly paid and you try to apply the code retroactively to a payment already made
• If the code is entered with the wrong letter case — some promo codes are case-sensitive

What to Do if a Promo Code Doesn't Work

1. Check the code character by character, preferably by copying it fresh from the source
2. Check on the promotion page whether the code applies to the plan and operation type you chose
3. If the code fails for no clear reason, describe the issue to support with the code and plan name — that gets it fixed faster than guessing on your own

What a Hosting Promo Code Usually Doesn't Cover

A discount on a hosting plan generally does not extend to line items billed separately from the plan itself: domain registration or renewal, third-party control panel or antivirus licenses, or paid add-ons such as a dedicated IP or extended backup. This is common industry practice, not something specific to one promotion — if you're unsure whether a particular line item is covered by your promo code's discount, check the order breakdown before paying, not after.

Promo Codes and Auto-Renewal

If a promo code only applies to the first billing period and the service has auto-renewal enabled, the next charge will go through at the plan's full price, with no discount — the system doesn't remember the code as a standing discount. Before turning on auto-renewal right after a discounted order, check how many periods your specific promo code actually covers. How auto-renewal itself works and when funds are charged is covered in automatic service renewal.

Checking the Result

• After placing the order, open the invoice and confirm the discount is shown as a separate line, not folded into the total alone
• Compare the total against a manual calculation: the plan price minus the discount percentage should match to the cent
• After one billing period, check the next invoice issued — if the discount was one-time, that amount will be full price
• Save a screenshot of the checkout page showing the discount — useful if the amount in Transaction History raises questions later
