Support, With the Boundaries Written Down

Engineers who've run hosting servers before, ticket hours you can plan around, 24/7 response when a server is down, and a clear line between what's included and what costs USD 10 an hour.

  • Same price on renewal
  • Daily off-server backups
  • Free cPanel migration
  • Support in IST hours

Hours and channels

Feature Launch / WP Launch / Cloud VPS Grow / WP Grow / Managed Cloud Scale / WP Scale / Managed Dedicated Priority

Phone Not included By arrangement

IST is UTC+5:30. For Dubai that's 9:30 AM IST = 8:00 AM Gulf; for Sydney, 2:00 PM AEST; for Johannesburg, 6:00 AM SAST; for London, 5:00 AM BST. Emergencies don't wait for those hours.

What counts as an emergency: your server is down, your site returns errors for all visitors, email is not being delivered at all, or your account is compromised and actively causing harm. Emergencies are raised through the portal's emergency option or the emergency WhatsApp line, not by replying to a normal ticket.

What doesn't: a slow page, a plugin question, a change request. Those are normal tickets and get the response target for your plan.

Who answers

Techpullers Cloud support is staffed by the same engineers who administer the servers. The team is led by Leno B. Vettoor (certified cPanel & WHM Administrator, former Level-2 Technical Support Specialist and System Administrator III at HostPapa, and former System Administrator at Lunarpages) and the people on tickets have comparable backgrounds. Nobody is reading from a script, and nobody will close your ticket with a link to a knowledge-base article you've already read.

Tickets are in English. Malayalam and Hindi are available on WhatsApp during business hours.

How to get the fastest answer

  • Use the portal, not a personal email, it routes to the whole team.
  • Include the domain, what you expected, what happened, and a screenshot or error text.
  • If it's a WordPress problem, say what changed most recently (an update, a new plugin).
  • If it's an emergency, use the emergency channel. A normal ticket titled "URGENT" is still a normal ticket in the queue.

Escalation

If a normal ticket has passed its response target, reply on the ticket and it's escalated automatically to a senior engineer. If you're unhappy with an answer, ask for a review and Leno reads it personally. Response targets are published on the Service Level Agreement page, along with what we do when we miss them.
