7 x 24 Technical Support

 

Web HSP strives to provide superior level of customer support that helps build customer loyalty and confidence. Our goal is to 'resolve' customer issues, not just update tickets.

We do request you use our online support tools and resources for the 'how to' questions to keep our technicians free for resolving problems and issues. Of course if you cannot find an answer, you should request assistance. You can also use our Forums for Community Assistance.

  • Our support team monitors your tickets 7x24.
  • Phone support is available 7x24, but we do request you use the ticketing system unless you have an urgent issue.
  • Providing quality support is important:
    • 90% of the tickets in our 7 x 24 support queue are responded to within 15 to 30 minutes.
    • Complex tickets may be assigned to Tier2 or Advanced Support Queues for resolution.
    • Billing and policy exception tickets will be resolved during normal Business Hours (customers can access and manage their billing information through their Customer Control Panel/Dashboard).
    • You can contact our Customer Service Representatives by phone to escalate emergency tickets.
  • Direct E-mail sent to valid email addresses at webhsp.com and e-mail sent via our contact forms will be answered within one business day. (Be sure to open a support ticket and/or call our customer service representatives if you need a quicker response time).
