We understand that mistakes happen, and we’ll never blame you if something goes wrong with your CMSimple hosting account. Our USA-based support team will simply get to work and fix what needs fixing. And we endeavor to answer all incoming support requests within 5-minutes, so you’ll never be left hanging when you need help the most.

3 Circle

4 Circle

In-Plan Performance Upgrades

KnownHost provides package upgrades and PHP oPCache upgrades, if you find that you need a little more from your existing CMSimple hosting plan. Additional RAM enables your account to handle incoming requests at higher speeds, while oPCache greatly improves website response times. If you’re growing and servicing more customers– but don’t want to move plans – we can help.

5 Circle

Full DNS Support Service

So that your business site experiences a minimum of downtime and disruption, KnownHost offers a full DNS support service. Whether you’re moving between plans or joining our platform, our team can oversee everything DNS-related, making for a smooth, pain-free migration process.

6 Circle

KernelCare Available for On-the-Fly Kernel Updates

Kernel updates often mean having to take your site offline and that means missing out on potential opportunities. Not with KernelCare. Available upon request, KernelCare allows you to make kernel updates whenever you want – without the need to reboot or endure downtime.
