Cancellation Steps

Go directly to Render cancellation page

  1. Sign in to your Render dashboard

    Visit dashboard.render.com and log in with your credentials and two-factor authentication.

  2. Delete all web services and workers

    Click Services in the sidebar, select each service, scroll to the bottom, and click Delete Service.

  3. Delete PostgreSQL databases

    Navigate to Databases, click each one, and select Delete Database. This permanently removes all data.

  4. Confirm all services are deleted

    Return to Services and Databases to verify both sections are empty. No further charges will apply.

Tips & Things to Know

  • Export database data using pg_dump before deletion, as this action is permanent and unrecoverable.
  • Billing stops instantly upon service deletion. Prorated credits apply if you delete mid-month.
  • Use Render's free tier for static sites instead of fully cancelling if you may return later.

Your Consumer Rights

  • UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 guarantees the right to cancel digital services within a reasonable timeframe with clear mechanisms.
  • US FTC regulations require transparent cancellation methods that match how services are signed up.
