What Is Pay-Per-Ticket Support?
Pay-per-ticket support is a model where you pay only for each server issue you submit — no monthly subscription, no retainer, and no wasted spend during months when you don't need help. You raise a ticket for a specific problem (server down, malware removal, config change, SSL install), an expert engineer picks it up within 20 minutes, resolves it, and you pay per resolved incident.
CloudHouse's pay-per-ticket plans cover Linux and Windows Server administration — from cPanel/WHM and Plesk management to bare-CLI environments on AWS, DigitalOcean, Vultr, and on-premise machines. Every ticket includes Level 1 through Level 3 support with no hidden escalation charges.
Plans start from $3/ticket (Crown) and $6/ticket (Classic). Both plans carry a 20-minute response SLA, operate 24/7 including weekends and public holidays, and require no minimum commitment. Pay only when you need expert server help.
What We Handle on a Pay-Per-Ticket Basis
Every ticket covers a single server issue from first response through to resolution. Level 1, 2, and Level 3 support is included — no hidden escalation costs.

Why Choose CloudHouse for Pay-Per-Ticket Support
CloudHouse Technologies serves businesses in 50+ countries with expert server support on-demand — no monthly commitment, no lock-in, and a 20-minute response SLA on every ticket.
20-Minute Response SLA
Every ticket — emergency or routine — receives a first engineer response within 20 minutes. This is a contractual SLA, not a best-effort target. Average actual response in 2025 is 11 minutes.
No Minimum Commitment
Raise one ticket a year or fifty a month — you pay only for what you use. No subscription, no setup fee, no activation charge, no hidden costs. Cancel anytime.
Linux & Windows Coverage
Most providers cover Linux only. CloudHouse handles both Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Debian, Rocky) and Windows Server (2012–2022) under the same plan and SLA.
ISO 27001:2022 Certified
Your server credentials, access keys, and configuration data are handled under a formally audited ISO 27001:2022 security framework — a requirement for many hosting companies and SaaS businesses.
White-Label Included
All plans include white-label support at no extra charge. Our engineers respond under your brand. Your customers never know they're interacting with an outsourced team.
L1–L3 Support on Every Ticket
Every ticket includes Level 1 through Level 3 support. Complex issues don't get bounced to a senior engineer with a surcharge — they're handled on the same ticket, at the same price.
How to Submit a Pay-Per-Ticket Support Request
Submit a Ticket
Log into the client portal and submit a ticket describing your server issue. Include your server IP, OS, control panel (if any), and a short description of the problem.
Engineer Assigned — 20 Minutes
A qualified sysadmin is assigned to your ticket within 20 minutes. For emergency tickets (server down, active breach), assignment typically happens within 8 minutes.
Access & Diagnosis
Our engineer requests SSH or RDP access (if not already on file), diagnoses the issue, and documents findings before making any changes to your server.
Resolution & Verification
The engineer resolves the issue, tests the fix, and confirms resolution before closing the ticket. You receive a written summary of what was done and why.
Ticket Closed & Billed
Once you confirm the issue is resolved, the ticket is closed and you are billed one ticket credit from your plan. No hidden charges, no surprise invoices.
Post-Ticket Documentation
A full resolution record is stored in your account. For security incidents, a post-incident report is provided. All changes are logged for your records.

What Clients Say About Our Pay-Per-Ticket Support
“We used to pay $300/month for a managed server plan but only needed help maybe twice a month. Switched to CloudHouse pay-per-ticket — now we pay $6 when we need it. Same 20-minute response, a fraction of the cost.”
“Our WooCommerce server crashed on Black Friday. CloudHouse engineer had it back up in 18 minutes — 2 a.m. on a Sunday. I can't overstate how much that response time matters when revenue is on the line.”
“We offer white-label server support to our hosting clients. CloudHouse's pay-per-ticket plan lets us handle escalations under our brand without a full-time sysadmin. The ISO 27001 certification sealed the deal for enterprise clients.”
