Imonggo is as stable and reliable as the major players on the Internet, such as Google or Amazon.com, because we use the same technology and the same concept of running your business as they do. Reliability and stability are top priorities. In actuality, with Imonggo you will be running your business on clusters of servers, not on any one single server, just as Google does.

You are supported 24/7 online with the most reliable system that technology can offer. We answer queries through email in less than 24 hours.

For Premium users, we also offer additional assistance like online chats, screen sharing, and phone calls for special cases.

Imonggo backs up your data continuously and keeps an off-site backup at least every 24 hours.
