Netfirms.com is a hosting provider, which was founded in 1998 only to be acquired by EIG in 2011. The company’s social network accounts are active, which suggests they are still in business despite the storm of negative feedback they received. They seem to have fallen out of their audience’s favor after the acquisition.

Support
Instant Technical Live Support: Yes
Netfirms.com reportedly outsourced their previously outstanding customer support to India, which led to its inability to help users. At least, these are the reviews we have met. And this is strange, indeed, if one takes a look at their performance charts.
They offer phone numbers and emails, also a sales live chat. However, it answered very fast and it offers not just sales support but tech one as well.
Emails and phone numbers are also available.
