How to Update Your Payment Method

Last updated on Apr 30, 2025

Keeping your payment details up to date ensures uninterrupted service and successful renewals. You can easily add or update payment methods within your Eco Web Hosting client area.


🔐 Step 1: Log in to Your Client Area

Go to https://my.ecowebhosting.co.uk and log in using your credentials.


💳 Step 2: Manage Saved Cards

To manage or add new card details:

  1. Go to Billing > Payment Methods

  2. Click Add New Credit Card to securely add a new card

  3. To make a card the default for future invoices, click Make Default

⚠️ Important: This sets the default card, but not necessarily your overall default payment method. See below to ensure all future invoices use the right method.


🧭 Step 3: Set Your Default Payment Method

To ensure all future invoices use a specific method (e.g. credit/debit card):

  1. Go to My Profile in your client area

  2. Find the Default Payment Method section

  3. Choose your preferred option (e.g. Credit/Debit Card)

  4. Click Save Changes

✅ This will ensure that new invoices are generated with that payment method and will automatically charge saved cards where applicable.


💡 A Note on PayPal Subscriptions

If you’ve previously used PayPal, be aware:

  • PayPal subscriptions are fixed to a recurring amount

  • If pricing changes (due to upgrades, discounts, or renewals), the subscription won’t update automatically

  • This can cause mismatches and failed or unassigned payments

For this reason, we strongly recommend using a credit/debit card, as it offers more flexibility and avoids these limitations.


🗑 Removing a Card

  1. Go to Billing > Payment Methods

  2. Click the Delete icon next to any saved card

Note: You can't delete a card that's linked to an unpaid invoice or active subscription.
