Cancel McProHosting: The Right Way

How to cancel MCProHosting and stop recurring charges in ireland

Why you might want to cancel MCProHosting

MCProHosting is a Minecraft server hosting provider operating since 2011, offering tiered hosting plans for gaming communities of all sizes. The service delivers global server locations, daily backups, a custom control panel, instant setup, and mod and plugin support across plans ranging from 1GB to 10GB RAM allocations. If you're an Irish customer, you're billed in EUR but access servers from international data centres designed to scale from casual groups to competitive operations.

You might want to cancel for legitimate reasons: server performance issues disrupting gameplay, unexpected billing charges or unwanted recurring renewals, changes to features or the control panel following service migrations, concerns about how refunds are handled, or simply because you no longer need the server. Understanding your cancellation reason helps you identify which consumer protections apply to your situation.

Understanding MCProHosting pricing and plan types

Your cancellation options and refund eligibility depend on which plan you purchased and how long you have been charged. Below is a snapshot of the available server tiers and their approximate monthly costs in USD. When you contact MCProHosting to cancel, keep your original invoice handy because it proves your plan type and billing cycle, which customer service will need to process your request quickly.

Pricing is displayed in US dollars. Your actual EUR amount will depend on the exchange rate at the time you were charged and your payment method. Check your billing statement to confirm your plan type before you initiate cancellation.

Common reasons irish customers cancel MCProHosting

Server downtime or poor performance that disrupts your gaming experience ranks among the most common cancellation triggers. Billing disputes, including unexpected charges or recurring renewals you did not authorise, also drive cancellations. Some customers cancel after MCProHosting migrates features, updates the control panel, or changes the service in ways that no longer meet their needs. Others cite concerns about refund handling or refund windows they feel are too restrictive. Tocancel has helped many Irish customers navigate these exact scenarios, and your situation almost certainly falls into one of these categories.

Your consumer rights under irish law

Irish and UK customers purchasing online are protected by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Distance Selling Regulations. These laws give you specific protections that MCProHosting must honour, regardless of what their terms and conditions say.

The 14-day cooling-off period explained

You have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days of purchase if you are a consumer, not a business. This cooling-off period is automatic-you do not need MCProHosting's permission to use it. If you purchased MCProHosting within the last 14 days and have not yet made significant use of the service, you can invoke this right for a full refund without needing to prove any fault with the service.

To use your cooling-off right, write to MCProHosting in clear terms: "I wish to exercise my statutory right to cancel under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, Section 62." Include your account details, the date of purchase, and your name. Send this by email to [email protected] or by post to the address listed at the end of this guide. MCProHosting must refund you within 14 days of receiving your notice.

Your legal position: The cooling-off period is your right, not a favour. Once you invoke it in writing, MCProHosting cannot refuse.

Your right to cancel for service failures after 14 days

After the 14-day cooling-off window closes, you can still cancel at any time. However, your refund will depend on whether MCProHosting has failed to deliver the service as advertised. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the service provider must deliver what they promised. If MCProHosting has failed to maintain uptime, speed, stability, or features as described in their marketing or terms, you have the right to a refund or remedy.

Common service failures include persistent downtime exceeding advertised uptime guarantees, speeds or performance significantly below what was promised, features removed or disabled without notice, or technical support that is unresponsive to critical issues. If any of these apply to you, document the failures with screenshots, support tickets, or dates and times of outages. This evidence strengthens your cancellation request and your claim for a refund.

Build a simple record of service failures: list the date, the issue, how it affected your gameplay or operations, and any attempts you made to resolve it with customer service. This becomes your evidence if you need to escalate to the enforcement body.

What happens if MCProHosting refuses to cancel or refund

If MCProHosting ignores your cancellation request, continues charging you after you have asked to stop, or refuses a refund you believe you are entitled to, you have recourse under Irish law. The enforcement body for consumer rights in Ireland is the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). The CCPC investigates complaints, can issue enforcement notices, and can take legal action against businesses that breach consumer law.

Before escalating to the CCPC, send MCProHosting a final written notice via email or post stating clearly: "I have requested cancellation under my consumer rights. If you do not process my cancellation and refund within 14 days, I will lodge a complaint with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission." Most companies respond quickly when they know enforcement is a real possibility. Keep copies of every email and message you send.

Document every step you take: the date you requested cancellation, the method you used (email, phone, post), the response you received, and any charges that continued. This record is essential if you need to escalate to the CCPC or pursue the matter further.

How to cancel MCProHosting step by step

Cancellation is straightforward when you follow the correct process and include all the information MCProHosting needs. The service accepts cancellation requests via email, phone, and post.

Method 1: cancel by email

Email is the fastest and most documented method because you have a written record of your request. Tocancel recommends this as your first approach.

1. Log in to your MCProHosting account and locate your account details, including your account number or username.
   • Write down your billing email address as it appears in MCProHosting's system.
   • Note the plan type you are cancelling (Steve, Villager, Witch, Enderman, Wither, or Herobrine) and the monthly cost.
2. Compose a clear, concise email to [email protected] with the subject line: "Cancellation Request-[Your Account Email or Username]".
   • Open with: "I wish to cancel my MCProHosting account effective immediately."
   • Include your full name, account email, account number or username, the plan type, and the date you wish the cancellation to take effect.
   • If you are within 14 days of purchase, state: "I am exercising my statutory right to cancel under the Consumer Rights Act 2015."
   • If the service has failed, describe the failure briefly: "Due to persistent server downtime exceeding advertised uptime guarantees" or similar.
   • Request confirmation of cancellation and the date your subscription will stop being charged.
3. Send the email and take a screenshot of the sent message with the timestamp visible.
   • Save the screenshot to your computer or cloud storage as evidence.
4. Wait for a reply from MCProHosting within 5 working days.
   • If you receive confirmation, check that the cancellation date matches what you requested and that no further charges appear on your next billing cycle.
   • If you receive no reply within 5 days, send a follow-up email reiterating your cancellation request and referencing your original message date.

Method 2: cancel by phone

Phone cancellation offers immediate confirmation but provides no written record. Use this method if email has not yielded a response or if you need to cancel urgently.

1. Call MCProHosting customer service at +1 (888) 512-8626. Have your account details ready: account email, username, plan type, and billing information.
   • Note that this is a US number, so call rates may apply depending on your Irish phone plan.
2. When you reach a representative, state clearly: "I want to cancel my account, effective [date you choose]."
   • Have your account email and plan type ready to provide immediately.
   • If you are within 14 days, mention your cooling-off right: "I am exercising my statutory right to cancel under the Consumer Rights Act 2015."
   • If service has failed, explain briefly and request a refund.
3. Ask the representative for a confirmation reference number, the cancellation date, and any refund amount and timeline.
   • Write this information down immediately during the call.
4. Request that the representative email you a written confirmation of the cancellation within 24 hours.
   • Many companies are happy to do this if asked directly.
5. Follow up with an email to [email protected] summarising the call: "Per our phone conversation on [date] with [representative name], I have cancelled my account. Reference number: [number]. Please confirm in writing."
   • This creates a written trail even though the cancellation began by phone.

Method 3: cancel by post

Postal cancellation is slower but creates a legally binding written record. Use this method if you want the strongest evidence of your cancellation request or if email and phone have been unsuccessful.

1. Write a formal cancellation letter on plain paper or headed paper (your address at the top).
   • Address it to: MCProHosting, [address to be confirmed in company contact details].
   • Use the subject line: "Formal Cancellation Request".
   • Include today's date, your full name, account email, account number or username, plan type, and monthly cost.
   • State: "I hereby cancel my MCProHosting account, effective immediately" or a future date if you prefer.
   • If within 14 days: "I am exercising my statutory right to cancel under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 of the United Kingdom."
   • If service has failed: describe the failure and request a refund with reasons.
2. Sign the letter by hand and keep a photocopy for your records.
   • Sign both the original and the copy you keep.
3. Send the letter by registered post or special delivery so you have proof of delivery.
   • This costs a few euro but is worth the certainty if your cancellation is later disputed.
4. Keep the tracking number and delivery receipt in a safe place until you have received written confirmation of cancellation from MCProHosting.
   • This proves you sent the letter and the date you sent it.
5. Follow up with an email two weeks after sending the letter if you have not heard back: "I sent a formal cancellation request by post on [date]. Tracking reference: [number]. Please confirm receipt and the cancellation date."
   • This reinforces your request and gives MCProHosting a chance to respond in writing.

Refunds and what to expect

The refund you receive depends on your cancellation reason, when you cancel relative to your billing cycle, and MCProHosting's refund policy.

If you cancel within 14 days (cooling-off period)

You are entitled to a full refund of all charges paid, minus any service you have genuinely consumed. In practice, if you cancel within the first 14 days without significant use, you should receive a 100% refund. MCProHosting must process this refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice. The refund should return to your original payment method (credit card, PayPal, or other).

Check your payment method's records 5-7 business days after submitting your cancellation request. If the refund does not appear, contact your bank or payment provider to confirm MCProHosting has initiated it. If MCProHosting claims you are not entitled to a refund, refer them to Section 62 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

If you cancel after 14 days due to service failure

If MCProHosting has failed to deliver the service as promised, you may be entitled to a partial refund or a price reduction. This depends on how long the failure lasted and how much of the subscription period remains. For example, if your server was down for 30% of the month, you might claim a 30% refund of that month's fee.

Include specific evidence in your cancellation request: dates of outages, screenshots of error messages, support tickets you opened, and the impact on your operations. The more detail you provide, the stronger your refund claim. If MCProHosting disputes your claim, you can escalate to the CCPC with this evidence.

If you cancel before the next billing cycle

If you cancel mid-subscription and your next charge is not due for another week, you should not be charged again. MCProHosting should confirm in writing the exact date the cancellation takes effect and that no further charges will be applied. If a charge appears after you have cancelled, contact your bank immediately to dispute it and request a chargeback. Then contact MCProHosting in writing demanding an explanation and a refund.

Save every confirmation email from MCProHosting showing the cancellation date. This is your proof if you need to dispute a charge with your bank or the CCPC.

What to do after cancellation

Once MCProHosting confirms your cancellation, take these steps to protect yourself and ensure the process is complete.

Monitor your bank and credit card statements

Check your bank account and credit card statements carefully for the next two billing cycles. Verify that no further charges from MCProHosting appear. Some companies attempt to charge cancelled accounts, hoping the customer will not notice. You have the right to challenge any unauthorised charge, and your bank can help you recover it through a chargeback dispute.

If an unexpected charge appears, contact MCProHosting immediately and ask for an explanation. If they cannot justify it, request a refund in writing. If they refuse, lodge a complaint with your bank and the CCPC.

Request written confirmation of cancellation

If MCProHosting has not already sent you a written cancellation confirmation, request one by email: "Please send written confirmation of my account cancellation, including the cancellation date and confirmation that no further charges will be applied." Keep this confirmation in a file with all your other correspondence.

Back up your server data if needed

MCProHosting typically preserves data for 30 days after cancellation before deleting it. If you have any important server files, backups, or configurations you want to keep, download them before the cancellation takes effect or within the first week after. Log in to your control panel, export your world files or configuration data, and save them to your computer.

After 30 days, MCProHosting will delete your account and all associated data permanently. There is no recovery after this point, so act quickly if you need to preserve anything.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Cancelling a hosting service feels simpler than it often is, and small oversights can delay your refund or leave you still being charged. Here are the pitfalls that trap many customers and how to sidestep them.

Mistake 1: assuming deletion means cancellation

Deleting your server or account in the control panel does not cancel your subscription. Many customers think that removing their server will stop charges, but MCProHosting will continue to bill you for the subscription unless you explicitly cancel it. You must contact MCProHosting directly and state that you want to cancel the subscription, not just delete the server.

If you have deleted your server but continue to be charged, contact MCProHosting immediately and say: "I deleted my server but did not cancel my subscription. I now want to cancel my subscription with immediate effect and receive a refund for any charges since the server was deleted."

Mistake 2: not keeping copies of all communications

If you do not have a written record of your cancellation request and MCProHosting's response, you have no proof of what was agreed. Always save emails, take screenshots of messages, note dates and times of phone calls, and keep postal receipts. These records are essential if you need to escalate to the CCPC or dispute a charge with your bank. Tocancel advises every customer to maintain a cancellation folder with every piece of correspondence.

Mistake 3: not checking your account after cancellation

Confirm that your account is no longer accessible and that no further charges have been applied. Log in a few days after cancellation to verify the account has been deactivated. Check your bank and credit card statements for 60 days to ensure no unexpected charges appear. Some companies reactivate accounts silently if payment information is still on file.

Mistake 4: missing the 14-day cooling-off deadline

If you are within 14 days of purchase, invoke your cooling-off right immediately. Once 14 days pass, your refund options are limited to cases where the service has failed. If you think MCProHosting has underperformed, act quickly and document the evidence. The sooner you cancel and request a refund, the stronger your legal position.

Mistake 5: cancelling without a backup plan

If your Minecraft server is live and active, plan your migration carefully. Inform your community when the server will go offline, back up all important data, and arrange a new host if you need one before you cancel MCProHosting. An abrupt cancellation without notice can upset players and lose you data. Give yourself at least one week between backing up and the cancellation taking effect.
