Pricing and Support
Pattayanet hosting packages are relatively expensive. Its customers can make monthly payments since the firm offers a flexible billing cycle. This firm adopts a straightforward policy on payment with no hidden fees. Its prices are listed in U.S. dollars.
It also offers free instant setup for each of its web hosting packages. While the vendor mentions that it offers a money-back guarantee, I did not find any information on its website that would further explain this policy. That notwithstanding, the hosting company does offer a network uptime guarantee of 99.9%.
Customers can reach out to the Pattayanet customer support team through phone and email. There is no live chat or ticketing system available on the website. The technical support team is accessible 24/7, and the vendor assures quick responses to customer inquiries. Unfortunately, I did not receive any response to the support email I sent them. Additionally, Pattayanet does not have a knowledge base on its website.
