environmentally friendly manner. It offers three main hosting plans, virtual private servers
(VPS), server colocation, dedicated servers, domains, and 24/7 phone and chat support.

and announcements, submit a trouble ticket to their support team, ask pre-sales questions, view
live server status information, and more. And, after you’ve become a RoutHost customer, you
can also speak to a knowledgeable representative directly through their new 24/7 phone and chat
support.
