Support by the Good Cloud
Being a small company forces us to choose wisely where to put our effort. It also implies that we’re unable to give 24/7 support for individuals unlike we do, on request, for business subscriptions. As hosting is our core business, it’s obvious that maintaining our Network and Customers environments are vital and take up most of our resources. However, we do not want to sell subscriptions and leave you without service. Therefore we’ve chosen to adjust the type of support to the sort of customer you are.
Type of Customer | Support offered |
GoodOffice online | Phone and email (and initial implementation support) |
Business | Phone and email (and initial implementation support) |
FamilyCloud | E-mail only |
Individual | E-mail only |
UniqCloud | E-mail only |
Free Tier | None |
What does this mean in real life? First of all it is important to narrow-down what we consider covered by support. For us the basic support definition goes by, issues you run into while working in our hosted cloud environments. Meaning, issues concerning specific functionality that normally works fine. These, and basic functional questions can be submitted to our support.
Even though we do think it’s fair to give no support to free users, we will try to help you within a reasonable time or at least point you in a helpful direction. However, the effort and time spent will have no priority. Free users that need help to get started we highly recommend joining Nextcloud’ s very friendly and supportive Community https://help.nextcloud.com/.
