Trust me, website probably isn't as helpful as phone support (save 
downloads).  We got sold/told that the basic support was the way to go by 
our sales rep since we had limited funds and we wanted the longest 
contract we could purchase.  Citizens have to vote a bond when we want 
money!  With basic, we can't even make a phone call.  All support happens 
via the web interface or by email.  

BTW, the definition of basic support means you will basically get 
ignored.  I opened an issue recently and the responses to my updates 
generally took between 48-96 hours.  I finally muddled things out on my 
own and with the help of the ARSlist archives (which seems to always be 
the case).  I posted in the ticket that I was able to upgrade to 6.3.  
Then support asks "is there anything more we need to do on this ticket?"  
The short description of the ticket was "Upgrading to 7.0."  I gave up on 
getting support and told them just to close it.

I'm thinking the only reason to pay any sort of maintenance contract is to 
have the upgrades.  You'll just be disillusioned if you think you'll 
actually purchasing support.
