Latnet is one of the oldest IT and telecommunications companies in Latvia. Founded in 1992, the company first started its operations in a laboratory in the university of Latvia but has grown substantially to be a fully-fledged web hosting company offering web hosting, virtual servers, and data center solutions. The Latnet website is only available in Latvian.

Pricing and Support
Latnet’s shared web hosting services may be a bit expensive, but they offer flexible monthly billing cycles. If you’re interested in virtual servers or data center services, you can fill out a consultation form on their website to receive a personalized quote.
This hosting vendor does not offer any refunds to its customers, but perhaps it’s because of the nature of its hosting services. In addition, Latnet does not provide an uptime service guarantee.
Latnet customer desk is available via telephone, email, or contact form. The hosting company does not have a ticketing system or live chat. All the same, the technical support staff is available 24/7. They are well versed, polite, and offer friendly customer support to help customers solve their raised issues. I sent them an email and got a response in less than 24 hours.
Latnet does not have a knowledge base.
