    Default Free End User Support for Resellers !!!

    Here's a news for you :-

    We have launched new service which will cover 24x7 Support for customers of resellers anonymously

    All you have to do is setup a form on your website hosting for your customers and they will open tickets from that form. Make sure that they fillup their domain name in 1 field of the form as our support team would like to figure out the server on which their account is hosted.

    Billing and Sales section of your helpdesk should go to your email address and support should reach our helpdesk by email on support @ supportdepartment.net

    All emails reaching support @ supportdepartment.net are answered by our staff members without any signature and there wont be any way for your customers to figure out eukhost behind the picture.

    You can get in touch with our staff and request for another email address on different domain name if supportdepartment is not going to work for you.

    Yes. All customers can take advantage of this offer.

    We are working on improving our response time so hopefully from next month you will get response time of 10 - 20 minutes for tickets.

    Thumbs down

    I would personally stay well clear of any end user support which they offer.

    Even though all emails are responded to promptly, support staff are unaware of who they are dealing with and will sell EUKHost products to customers.

    For example if a customer sends a support to technical support and supports suggests a virtual private server then the support staff will sell EUKHost products clearning your customers over night

    The worst thing was that when i complained and asked for a refund not one member of staff said sorry. Not good!!!

    Are you going to support your accusations with some facts or just hide behind this anonymity? I expect your IP address has been recorded so perhaps we'll find out who you really are ...

    eUKhost only provides support not sales for end users. In no way would this be the case.

    We have never forced any of our customers to opt for end user support. If you are efficient to convince your customers about role of eUKhost then they wont have any problem even if they manage to find that someone from eUKhost replied to them. I would say that your relationship with your customers is what makes big difference.

    end user support service was included to help our resellers in reducing their costs. Cost of hosting plan is nothing in comparison to cost of 24x7 support.

    I have gone through the cancellation and refund request you had submitted and you were requested to provide us with proof of what went wrong with our replies to your customers and you never did that. How can you expect us to say sorry when you have no proof of what wrong replies were given to your customers ?

    As I've said previously that we included end user support feature only to help our customers and not to make any of your customers signup with us directly. If you think that your customers may move to us directly then don't opt for end user support.

    Reply back to same ticket with proof and if I see our mistake in it then I will say sorry to you in ticket, in this forum and wherever you want.

    If the customer finds out that eUKhost is providing the support and decides to go with them that is bad luck - but after all eUKhost is providing support for your customers at no cost - even though it is costing them to run it.

    I doubt eUKhost would use such a poor and underhand method such as customer poaching!! - they don't need to!!

    Thanks David !

    Thats exactly what our billing staff mentioned in reply to Lee's Refund request. Refund was issued on same day and we have always issued full refund to those who canceled within 30 days and we do give partial refund even if some cancels his shared hosting plan after 6 months or so.

    This should be sufficient for you to understand that we don't need your customers to come to us. Our name and our reputation is more important for us and we will never go against our policies for any cost.

    Basically this whole discussion sounds very funny to me. eUKhost trying to steal customer of its own customer. LOL

    Thanks for your comments, i do understand but i do think "wont be any way for your customers to figure out eukhost behind the picture." is a incorrect.

    oh btw i sent the transcript of this two times, one on the email that was replied to. If you dont think im telling the truth that's fine!

    Personally, i would rather pay a a small fee for end user support to ensure that this doesn't happen

    There's no reason for us to prove you dishonest as thats not going to help us. Though it has been mentioned that you customers wont be able to figure out eUKhost but you need to ensure that your forms send proper information on our helpdesk coz if the ticket comes directly to us as it came to you then it wont help us in giving proper reply to your customer.

    You should have discussed detailed working of this anonymous support before directly forwarding emails to us. Its not completely our fault if things went wrong with this anonymous support service.

    Initially we never got good response for this service as none of our resellers preferred to use the service. this service moved down in our priorities and we never expected something similar to happen. We will try to implement some other solution to make this service work as our guys keep on answering tickets in a flow and it is possible that they may reply with eUKhost.com in their signature while answering ticket raised by your customer.

    As of now we will get this service removed from our website hosting and it will be displayed again once we have some better solution and more support staff

    Yes there definately is interest in it. I was looking at is as a major part of hosting that I was going to offer my customers from my reseller account. I can't sit infront of a computer 24X7 which is why the reseller hosting with the end user support sounded great.... It now causes a problem for me with it not being available currently.

    Roughly what time scale are you talking about before it will be available again? And this may not work 100%, but would it work if some kind of forwarding was added to this type of support emails with RESELLER in the subject?

    I think I have implemented a better solution for end user support. Send email to and see the replies from our staff members.

    I have configured a separate mailbox in our helpdesk where you can forward tickets of your customers and our staff will reply to them directly. We wont use any sort of signature while replying to this tickets so your customers will not know anything about eUKhost.

    If they decide to be too Intelligent and try to find out your relation with support department dot net then there's no other alternative

    Thanks for listening!

    End user support is defiantly an advantage to any reseller package. The host i am with now uses Cerberus help desk so that customers can login to Cerberus and monitor tickets themselves.

    As long as staff are well aware of EUKHost tickets and Customers tickets there shouldnt be a prob

    Yes it sounds very good. I myself am also interested in it.

    So let me get this right, we forward our tickets to techsupport[@]supportdepartment.net and eUKhost support reply directly to the customer? And thats all free?
