There are several ways in which you can contact the web hosting company whose services you’re using, but the one that you’ll invariably find no matter which company you opt for is a trouble ticket system. It is the least complicated communication channel for a variety of reasons. If no customer support staff member is available at the moment and they are all busy, a telephone call may not be replied to, but a ticket will always be received. You can also copy/paste extensive pieces of information without worrying about typographical mistakes, and in case a given issue requires more time to be solved or a number of responses must be exchanged, all the information will be in the same place, so each party can always see the comments provided by the other one. The negative aspect of using tickets to get in touch with your web hosting provider is that they’re usually separate from the hosting platform, which goes to say that if you need to supply info or to adhere to directions, you’ll have to use no less than 2 different admin consoles and this number may grow if you wish to manage a handful of domain names. In addition, lots of web hosting companies reply to tickets after several hours, or even once in every 24 hours, and for you as a client, this means wasted time whilst awaiting a reply.
