Technical Support
Tampa Bay Hosting is proud of its customer service record. We are here to assist you when your web site has a problem or is not operational. If you can not reach your site, please be sure to verify that you are NOT experiencing connectivity problems. If you are reaching this site then your site should be working also. If not, then contact us and we will investigate. Many times the Internet or possibly your ISP has a problem and those are resolved very quickly, so patience is the best option.
When you do have a problem, document it the best you can by copying error messages and include them in the support ticket via your control panel to us so that we know where to look. Be sure to include the domain name and phone contact information so that we can reply to your inquiry.
If you are just getting started with website design and do not know where to start, we suggest using Website 101. Some of the information there is getting quite dated, but is still a good place to start.
