In both VPS and dedicated server hosting plans, users can choose from three levels of control available: self-managed, managed, and fully-managed levels.
cPanel and Plesk hosting packages are this vendor’s shared web hosting solutions. Both plans are equipped with features to offer reliable and lightning-fast hosting services to small and medium-sized businesses.
Customers with resource intensive websites can choose the vendor’s managed Business hosting solution. Under this solution, Business Hosting Launch is the starter package designed for multiple basic websites. It includes 60GB storage, 2GB RAM, and 1 CPU.

Pricing and Support
High Desert Domains hosting plans are quite affordable. The hosting plans come with flexible billing cycles including, one month, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 60 months, and 120 months. The hosting provider offers a service uptime guarantee of 99.9%.
In case of downtime, the vendor promises to credit your account with 5% of your monthly hosting fee for that month. That said, High Desert Domains does not have a free trial or a money-back guarantee.
Clients can contact the technical support team via telephone and email. The vendor does not have a ticketing system or live chat support. While the customer support team is available 24/7, the vendor takes frustratingly long to respond to customer queries. Some can take up to 30 days; others never get any response. I sent the vendor a message via the contact form on the website and never heard back from them.
All the same, High Desert Domains has a fairly detailed knowledge base, so you do have some avenue for inquiries if you don’t get a response from the support team.
