Pricing and Support
Considering the premium features that DCWeb includes in its hosting plans, I found its hosting solutions competitively priced. The prices are all listed in Philippine peso.
The firm provides a flexible billing cycle where customers can purchase monthly, semi-annual, and annual subscriptions. Moreover, it has no hidden costs as it applies a straight forward payment policy.
DCWeb customers have access to a 15-day unconditional money-back guarantee, which is significantly lower than the industry’s standard 30 days. It offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee for its VPS customers, as well.
You can get in touch with the DCWeb customer support team through email, telephone, and ticketing system, thought it has no live chat support. While the vendor says that its technical support team is available 24/7, ready to attend to customer queries, the support ticket I opened was closed without the vendor addressing any of the queries that I had made.
The hosting provider has also included a knowledge base section on its website, but it contains only a few articles and tutorials.
