Hosted.com broadens self-service support with expanded learning resources

Hosted.com has expanded its learning and self-help resources, responding to a steady change in how customers prefer to manage websites and hosting services. Rather than contacting support for every issue, many users now look for clear explanations and quick answers they can act on immediately. The company’s latest update reflects that reality.

The expanded resource library includes a reorganized knowledge base, longer written tutorials, a revised blog, and newly introduced video and audio content. Together, these channels aim to reduce friction for customers who want to solve problems on their own while gaining a clearer understanding of how their hosting environments work.

Wayne Diamond, CEO of Hosted.com, said the update came from observing how customers already behave. “People do not want to wait if they can avoid it,” he said. “They search, they read, and they try to fix things themselves. Our goal is to make that process easier and less frustrating.”

The team reorganized the knowledge base to group content more logically and to focus on real user tasks such as setting up email accounts, managing domains, and configuring websites. Each article walks through steps in plain language, which helps newer users avoid common mistakes while still giving experienced customers the detail they expect.

While hosted.com has revamped its blog to be less focused on delivering news and more on ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌explaining. Recent pieces address topics such as website security, hosting basics, and changes in online tools, and they aim to help readers gain understanding without relying on technical jargon.

Understanding that not everyone learns through reading, the company has also developed short instructional videos and a podcast that can be listened to on Spotify. The videos show the users the common steps visually, whereas the podcast enables the listeners to get the information during their commutes or free time. Such a combination of formats is in line with the reality of how people get their information nowadays.

The general move to self-service support is still going on in the hosting industry. Hosted.com’s growth is a demonstration of how suppliers are changing by putting education next to customer support in the traditional way instead of treating it as an ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌extra.
