The Downside of Using CloudAccess.net


There are only a few minor problems when it comes to using CloudAccess. First of all they provide you with their very own control panel which can be a problem for those who like cPanel and are familiar with its functions. Another point of concern is that they also keep backend super user access to themselves, which in some cases might prove to be extremely useful.

Customer Support

CloudAccess relies on ticket based system but it is not like any other we have ever seen. They usually answer tickets within 30 minutes of submission and this is only on normal urgency. Their customer support agents are very well trained and treat customers with a joyous attitude. There is absolutely no phone support on CloudAccess which is a negative in our books, but since they do such an amazing job with the ticket bases system there is no need to be overly concerned.
