What is Technical Support?

Technical support is the service provided by Lemon Bay Computer Service LLC to aid hosting customers in setting up, configuring and using their hosting accounts. For example, Lemon Bay Computer Service LLC will assist customers with questions about using our control panel interface, about the best way to set up e-mail accounts, or about what hosting features/plans will help them get the most out of our services.

Technical support does not include support for maintaining the content or functionality of your website (even sites developed by Lemon Bay Computer Service LLC). Support for problems with content or functionality should be addressed to your Lemon Bay Computer Service LLC staff representative, and may require billable time. Technical support does not include in-depth consulting or instruction on how to configure or use third-party software (including desktop software like FTP programs or e-mail reading programs) or local office/home network troubleshooting (such as problems that prevent you from connecting to the Internet).

If you require support for activities not covered under Lemon Bay Computer Service LLC's support policies, Lemon Bay Computer Service LLC has a wide variety of service and support contracts available. Contact us for details.
