Frequently asked

The quick answers to the things people ask us most.

How do I reach a real person?
Any time, day or night — open a ticket, start a live chat, or call us. You can also send us a message or request a call back and we’ll come to you. Real specialists, never a script.
Will you move my existing site over for me?
Yes — free of charge. Tell us where your site lives now and our team migrates the files, databases, email and DNS with no downtime. Most moves are done within a day.
How do I point my domain to AltaGrade?
Once your site is on staging and looks right, we give you the exact DNS records to set — or, if your domain is with us, we handle it for you. Nothing goes live until you’re happy.
Where can I see and pay my invoices?
Everything lives in your control panel under Billing — past invoices, your current plan and your payment method. Need a change mid-cycle? Just ask; we only ever bill for what you use.
My Drupal 7 site — is it still safe?
Drupal 7 reached end-of-life in January 2025, so it no longer receives official security fixes. We can host it safely today and help you plan a calm, free migration when you’re ready — see managed Drupal hosting.
What if something breaks at 3am?
We’re watching around the clock, so we often spot and fix issues before you notice. If you do need us, support is genuinely 24/7 — tickets, chat and phone — with a first reply in minutes.

Still stuck? We’ll sort it.

Tell us what you’re trying to do and we’ll take it from there — no jargon, no runaround, no pressure. That’s the AltaGrade way, since 2002.
