There are several ways in which you can contact the hosting company whose services you’re using, but the one that you’ll always find no matter which company you select is a ticketing system. It is the easiest medium of communication for a number of reasons. In case no client service staff member is free at the moment and they’re all busy, a telephone call may not be responded to, but a ticket will invariably hit home. Furthermore, you can copy/paste large bits of information without worrying about typing errors, and in case a certain issue needs more time to be fixed or a number of replies must be exchanged, all the info will be in one and the same location, so each party can always see the comments added by the other one. The drawback of using tickets to touch base with your web hosting provider is that they are usually separate from the web hosting platform, which implies that if you have to provide information or to adhere to directions, you will need to use at least two separate admin consoles and this number may grow if you’d like to manage several domain names. On top of that, lots of hosting providers respond to tickets after a few hours, or even once in every twenty four hours, and for you as a client, this simply means wasted time whilst waiting around for a reply.
