If something goes wrong
- If you need full operating-system administration or a special software environment, ask customer service to confirm whether shared hosting, a VPS or a dedicated server is appropriate.
- Do not copy a workflow from another product just because a feature has the same name. Share the package and current screen if you cannot find the right action.
