Forum
Combine filters →A forum can be excellent and it is a different thing from support: the people answering do not work for the provider and owe nobody a reply. For a free tier or a low-cost plan it is often the whole of what is offered, which is a reasonable trade at the price. It becomes a problem only when it is the only route and something is broken in production.
