Does Canonical provide paid support for individuals?

Solution 1:

Yes, Canonical does offer paid support to individuals. It is known as Ubuntu Advantage Desktop. You can also buy support for server installations and cloud installations.

Edit: It looks like Ubuntu Advantage Desktop requires a minimum order of 50 desktops now.

Solution 2:

I used Flimm's link and clicked on contact us about our services: http://www.canonical.com/services/contact-us

Although it says for businesses, if you open the job role drop down you can select individual, home user, or even Ubuntu enthusiast. Also under the industry drop-down there is an option for Not Applicable (self).

This suggests to me that paid support is offered for individual home users. I filled out the form to contact Canonical and they said they would get back within 2 business days. I will update my answer when I hear from them. I will pay for support if they offer it and update my answer further to let you know how the support is, once I am all set up.
