Service

The other reason
Startlogic is so confident in
themselves that they can offer a no questions 30 day money
back guarantee is that they truly stand by their customers
and have a very well regimented customer service team.
It is almost too difficult to count the amount of awards
we have found & the huge numbers of glowing reviews we have
seen about the
Startlogic team’s customer support.
They felt so strongly about their level of service that they
have included some of the support team right on their main
page, lead by their manager John who can be seen standing in
the far right picture. Without a doubt we feel that this
team is one of the strongest in the web hosting industry.
Startlogic offers 24/7 x 365 support via live
chat, an advanced email ticketing system & toll free phone
with very short hold times. Also included is a searchable
Knowledgebase/FAQ, Getting Started guide, a Community Forum,

Feedback

We regularly search for areas of criticism on all of the web
hosts that we use and make recommendations on.
Startlogic is one a few web hosting
service providers who have remained mostly unscathed in
terms of criticism. Many times we will find large amounts of
critics from a particular period due to a massive outage or
a lack of customer support however
Startlogic is a web host whose
reputation and lack of criticism has been earned through
exceptional service, almost unmatched value and their award
winning customer support departments.
