Monitoring - We are still experiencing a higher-than-normal volume of support requests, which may result in longer response times than usual.
All tickets are being addressed in the order they are received. Issues involving service outages or downtime are being prioritized to minimize customer impact.
Our Support team is actively working through the queue, and all services remain operational at this time.
To help us respond as efficiently as possible, we kindly ask that you do not open multiple tickets or initiate additional chat requests for the same issue, as this increases overall wait times and may delay responses for everyone.
Customers on our Cloud platform continue to receive faster response times, and urgent issues may be reported using the phone number provided in our most recent newsletter.
Customers on Shared hosting who require reduced wait times may purchase Priority Support, which provides expedited handling of support requests.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to restore normal response times.
