Support
Instant Technical Live Support: No
Several support options are offered, the major ones being sales phone number (both home and international) and a live chat. However, sales hours are from 9.00am to 5.00pm GMT, Monday to Friday, and this is not very convenient.
However, they are also available in a live chat, however, not 24/7 either, or we lost our patience waiting.

Its response time stayed all together in the average range – 500ms – 600ms.
UK2 didn’t change the number of domains for 2 years.
