Service Support Channels
We will only provide Support Services through our helpdesk, email, or live chat. We don’t provide our Support Service through any other channel (including, but not limited to Twitter or Skype) at this time. You will need to submit a ticket using the helpdesk or send a direct email in order to take advantage of our Support Service and bear in mind what we do support when submitting your ticket. We may ask you to send us your login details if we need them in order to assist you. Our helpdesk tickets and information you share with us through these helpdesk tickets are confidential. For sensitive information like login credentials or private keys, we offer encrypted fields which store the sensitive information encrypted in our support database and is deleted when the ticket is closed. Only you and our support team will see your ticket. Our knowledgebase contains answers to common questions and may help answer questions you may have. This knowledgebase is relatively generic and may not be directly relevant to your specific query.
Unmanaged Technical Support Boundaries
NodeSpace provides technical support for you that encompasses our area of expertise only. Such expertise includes assistance, troubleshooting, and debugging of our control panel interface, servers within our immediate responsibility and any other hosting related issues. However, in under no circumstances is NodeSpace neither obligated to help you in the installations of new application modules, templates and/or programming languages, nor in providing assistance for any errors produced by any applications that have been modified by you previously.
Managed Technical Support Boundaries
This clause inherits many provisions of the Unmanaged Technical Support Boundaries clause. However, if the client has an active managed service or addon, NodeSpace support staff will provide support for the installation of new software, updating software, maintaining server security, and resolving common software errors. NodeSpace’s managed services do include proactive management and/or responses.
General Information
Our general support hours are 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Although we strive to respond to all queries within 20 minutes, our actual response times may vary and we may well take longer to respond to more advanced or technical queries.
