Support
I was trying to reach out to their live chat support option which redirects you to Facebook messenger app, unfortunately at that time there is no available agent support and also there is no English language option and is only in Hindi.
Although you can send them Ticket support via email and contact form at any time you want. And they have a Self Support or Knowledge base page where you can search for any topics that regards to your hosting services.

FAQ:
✅Where are their servers located?
Currently, they have multiple datacenters which are located in the USA, Germany, Netherlands, Singapore, India & Bangladesh. More locations are coming soon. You can choose a location for the VPS/Dedicated server during the order. But the location is fixed for shared hosting packs.
✴️Which features are with Domain Transfer?
All Transfers are Risk-Free: If for any reason, your domain transfer fails or is canceled, they will instantly credit your customer advance account with the complete amount that you paid for such transfer, no questions asked.
All Transfers are Seamless: Your domain name’s name servers are not altered anytime during the transfer process, hence your domain will not face ANY downtime during this process.
Once the transfer order is placed, the administrative contact of each domain name for which you have placed a transfer request will receive an email, which asks for confirmation of such transfer. You would need to click on a link inside each of these emails for the transfer request to be sent to the registry. The losing registrar in almost all cases will send you emails asking for confirmation per domain name – you can typically choose to ignore these emails.
❔How to change nameservers (DNS) of a domain?
You can change the nameserver and other details of your domain from your portal. Login to your portal from here. Now go to Domains=>My Domains and select the domain. Then click on the Setting icon which is on the right side of the domain. Here you will find the Nameservers menu at overview section.
If you want to change Nameserver of your .bd or .pk domain, kindly open a ticket to their support department from here mentioning your domain name.
