You can reach out to DRI’s customer desk via ticketing system. The vendor has not made available a support email, live chat, or phone number on its website. With such limited means to contact this vendor, it is not surprising that they don’t offer round the clock support. All the same, I inquired about their WordPress hosting solutions via the ticketing system and the support team never sent back a response.
While the vendor is yet to put up a knowledge base on its website, it has an extensive FAQ section.
