Best Free Technical Support Sites

In compiling this list I only looked at free third-party support sites. If you are looking specifically for vendor support sites, then click here.

Most of the sites in this category have volunteer staffing and that means the quality of answers to your questions can very widely - it all depends on the individual you get. So don't take the following site rankings too literally as your experience may well differ from mine.

In total I reviewed 28 sites, of which 3 were rated outstanding, 2 highly recommended and 5 recommended. To see how I ranked sites, click here.
