Do you offer phone support?
Web hosting tech support is not well-suited to the telephone. Relaying URLs, complex error codes, program settings, file paths, etc. are awkward by voice at best. Because this is a print format we are dealing with (printed on the screen, that is) it transfers natively to a print-based/visual support system such as e-mail or a helpdesk. There is no efficient or accurate voice replacement for copy/pasting a line, or taking a screenshot. Trying to do these things by voice is frustrating and time-intensive for both parties.

I have a billing or upgrade question or concern.
Hosting tech support is separate than billing support. Please post a ticket under billing in the ticket center and we will reply shortly.
