Pricing and Support
The prices of UCclouds.com hosting plans are pretty standard. They come with flexible billing cycles and clients can commit to a contract of at least one month. What’s more, the vendor promises discounts of up to 40% off the monthly fee when you commit to longer contracts. UCclouds.com offers a 100% uptime guarantee as well as a 100-day money-back guarantee.
Clients can contact UCclouds.com’s U.S. based customer support via telephone, email, or ticketing system. While the vendor claims to offer live chat support, the live chat icon on its website is invalid. Although it claims to offer 24/7/365 support as well, the reality is somewhat different. I opened a ticket and received an automated response, but the vendor never responded to my query.
UCclouds.com offers a comprehensive knowledge base with detailed information, including video tutorials. However, I faced errors when attempting to open the videos.
