How do I cancel a
WP Engine plan?
WP Engine says only an Owner user can cancel a hosting plan, and it needs 30 days' notice. Huck finds your WP Engine emails in Gmail and texts you what you pay and when the plan renews.
Connect Gmail to get started. You approve each money action.
To cancel a WP Engine plan, the Owner user opens Billing in the User Portal, scrolls to Support, and under Modify plan clicks Cancel plan (shared server plans) or Request cancellation (premium accounts). WP Engine says cancellation needs 30 days' notice through its cancellation form, that access is removed and content deleted after the notice period, and that you should download backups of every environment first. Its terms say a renewing term can only be stopped by notice at least 30 days before it ends.

Submit the cancellation form from Billing as the Owner.
WP Engine’s User Portal article lists these steps. Do the backup and migration first, because content is deleted once the notice period ends.
- Download backups. Download backups of all environments from the User Portal, and keep a copy offline.
- Move the site. Set up the new host and point DNS to it before the notice period ends.
- Open Billing. Sign in as the Owner and open Billing in the User Portal.
- Find Modify plan. Scroll to Support. Under Modify plan, click Cancel plan on a shared server plan or Request cancellation on a premium account.
- Submit the form. WP Engine asks for feedback during cancellation. The 30 days of notice run from the form.
- Keep the confirmation. Save the confirmation message and note the date the notice period ends.
