NGH’s hosting packages are competitively priced. Customers can make monthly payments as the firm has provided a flexible billing cycle. Its prices are listed in the U.S. dollar. Although the firm has a refund policy, it is significantly lower than the standard 30-day money-back guarantee provided in the industry, with only a 15-day money-back guarantee. It also offers a network uptime guarantee of 99.5%.
You can contact NGH technical support team via its toll-free telephone, email, helpdesk, online support, and ticketing system. It has no live chat support. Its customer support team is available 24/7 to assist its clients whenever any issue arises.
However, the vendor does not seem to address queries from non-customers; they sent me an email informing me that they could not create a ticket to address my issue because I am not an existing customer.
Even though the hosting provider established a knowledge base, it lacks any articles, downloads, or announcements. Additionally, there are no FAQ sections, blogs, or video tutorials available.
