There are different ways to contact the web hosting company whose services you are using, but the one that you will invariably find regardless of which company you select is a ticketing system. This is the least complicated form of correspondence for several reasons. If no help desk staff member is free at the moment and they’re all busy, a telephone call may not be replied to, but a ticket will always be received. Plus, you can copy and paste large bits of information without having to worry about misprints, and in case a specific issue requires more time to be resolved or a number of responses need to be exchanged, all the information will be in the exact same location, so either party can always follow the steps taken by the other one. The negative aspect of using tickets to get in touch with your hosting company is that they’re usually separate from the hosting platform, which goes to say that if you need to supply info or to follow directions, you will have to use at least 2 different admin dashboards and this number may increase in case you desire to manage a couple of domain names. Plus, a lot of web hosting companies reply to tickets after hours, or even once in every 24 hours, and for you as a client, this simply means wasted time whilst waiting around for a reply.
