Help Desk – Support Fees
UpTime is known for its great support, and this is what sets us apart from the competition. Our hosting service is one of the best in the country. To keep our prices low, we separate standard hosting support from supporting what you decide to host on our platform.
To be completely transparent about what isn’t included, we’ve compiled the list below. If there is a fee for the support, we will always confirm with you before proceeding. If, for any reason, the issue is hosting service related and included in our support, we will waive or refund the fee.
You might also want to have a look at our UpTime+ service, which includes premium support and services for a low, monthly subscription.
