All users are responsible for maintaining a working email contact and updating that information with Meirhosting when it changes.
6. If Meirhosting receives repeat complaints indicating that a problem has not been resolved, Meirhosting reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel any and all services provided to the user after a notification of no less than two (2) hours.

If you're a web developer like myself, you prize flexible and adaptable hosting above almost everything else, and being able to converse with someone who knows what they're doing, instead of fighting against "level 1" support. Meir offer just that kind of service."Administration
