Support
For web hosting clients
In order to streamline support requests and better serve you, we utilize a support ticket system. Every support request is assigned a unique ticket number which you can use to track the progress and responses online. For your reference we provide complete archives and history of all your support requests. Contact us to submit a new support request.
Custom Site Maintenance, Paid Support
For any support in addition to the above, we offer website maintenance plans. Pre-paid ‘support’ for customizing, operating and maintaining your WordPress site, which can be combined with our ‘managed’ web hosting service. Contact us to learn about maintenance options and our managed web hosting services.
