The academic domain and hosting have no cost and require no card. There are no automatic charges or paid renewals.

To sign up we send a 6-digit code to your institutional email. Any address ending in .edu.ec is accepted and the code expires in 15 minutes.
"Still active" email every 180 days
Every 180 days we send a new code to your institutional email to check that the address still exists and that you are still a student. You only need to enter it in your panel.
15-day grace period
If you do not confirm the code, you have a 15-day grace period. After that the site and hosting are suspended; you can reactivate them by verifying your email again while it is still active.
