Pricing and Support
With monthly payment options, Robusta Hosting plans are cheap and very attractive. However, for clients to get a deal with the vendor, they would have to commit to an annual contract which might cost them a significant lump sum of money. The hosting provider’s billing system also supports HostBill, all-in-one automation, billing, client management system, with over 70 payment gateways. All prices are listed in euros.
Robusta Hosting cloud infrastructure comes with a 99.99% SLA policy, while its shared hosting comes with the industry-standard uptime guarantee of 99.9%. Its VPS customers with a contract of three months or more receive a 30-day money-back guarantee. However, for one-month contracts, the vendor only provides a five-day money-back guarantee.
Robusta Hosting has availed several means of contact through which customers can reach out to its supports desk: you can do so via email, contact form, ticketing system, or live chat. You can also leave them a message on their social media channels like Facebook and Twitter. That said, the hosting company has yet to establish telephone support.
Moreover, the hosting company does not have a knowledge base.
