TLDR: Paid for hosting in 2011 for 1 year but its still ongoing and I have never been contacted to date can they force me to pay?
I setup a website for a friend and paid £50 for the domain names in .co.uk and .com as well as the hosting package.
I received an invoice in August 2011 informing me of the £50 total cost for 1 year web hosting and the domain names for 2 years.
I was then never contacted by my friend who wanted the website or the hosting company again until now (years later). My friend has asked me to update the website which I was unaware was still running as it was only paid for for the 1 year.
Its now 2014 and the hosting is still going until 2015.
The hosting company has automatically renewed hosting without contacting me or providing me any invoices or further requests for payment from 2011.
I only paid up until this date and expected it to be terminated but they still have the website ongoing, they havent requested payment but I fear they may in 2015 when it runs out and have a massive bill which I didnt agree and it doesnt state anywhere on their site or invoice.
I initially paid via paypal gift and they seem like an amater site/company and the website on the invoice isnt even working at the minute.
Can they force me to pay as I didnt agree to any of this and its not in any terms stated. I'm worried if I dont pay then what can they do?
