Cloud support is the technical assistance provided to users of cloud services such as web hosting, cloud storage, virtual servers, and SaaS platforms. It covers setup, configuration, performance optimization, monitoring, troubleshooting, and resolving any technical issues.
Cloud support can assist with tasks such as:
- Provisioning servers and instances
- Configuring DNS and domains
- Deploying or migrating websites
- Setting up email and security
- Performance tuning and scaling
- Data backups and disaster recovery
- Troubleshooting APIs and integrations
From simple setups to complex issues, support ensures your services run smoothly.
Managed support means the provider handles most technical tasks like updates, monitoring, backups, and security. Unmanaged support leaves these responsibilities to you, offering help only for infrastructure issues. Managed support is ideal for non-technical users, while unmanaged suits experienced developers or system admins.
You can reach cloud support through:
- Support tickets via your dashboard
- Live chat
- Email
- Phone support (premium plans)
- Knowledgebase articles and community forums
Response times may vary depending on your plan and support level.
