Last, the $265 24-Hour Service seeks a first attempt within 24 hours; it is never promised, because it depends on when you submit and whether a server is available in the area.

Belmont County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
Unless the plaintiff files a written request for personal or residence service, the clerk mails the summons certified, and with that request the sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server acts.
Who May Serve Papers in Belmont County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
A defendant who ignores a certified letter has not been served the way a plaintiff hopes. Civ.R. 4.6 handles refused and unclaimed mail by having the clerk notify the plaintiff and, if asked in writing, send ordinary mail. Many plaintiffs choose personal service under Civ.R. 4.1 instead, through the sheriff or a person designated by court order. The Civ.R. 4.1 article walks through the choices.
