Pricing and Support
All hosting options under this vendor are extremely flexible and scalable. That said, PlusServer doesn’t include on their website the cost of each of the hosting plans available; all the calls to action are generic with no purchase buttons. To some extent, the website looks like an informational website with no intention of selling any of their hosting solutions; it’s clear that you’ll have to contact them directly to get a quotation for your customized hosting solution. In addition, PlusServer prefers handling big enterprises, so any small enterprise that contacts them is handed over to Nimblu, their smaller hosting services subsidiary.
This vendor assures all their customers of direct and personal interactions with their support team, including office walk-ins in their various branches across major cities in Germany. Business executives can contact this vendor via email, a ticketing system, phone, and social media. Their website does not offer live chat support. However, their support team is available to provide guidance on both software and hardware. They continuously monitor their hosting infrastructure 24/7. The support representative I interacted with was polite and knowledgeable, successfully addressing all the questions I had.
