There are different ways in which you can touch base with the hosting company whose services you are using, but the one that you’ll always find regardless of which company you opt for is a trouble ticket system. It is the least complicated communication medium for many reasons. In case no technical support team member is available at the moment and they’re all engaged, a phone call may not be replied to, but a ticket will invariably be received. Moreover, you can copy/paste extensive bits of information without worrying about spelling errors, and if a given problem needs more time to be solved or a number of replies must be exchanged, all the info will be in one location, so each party can always see the comments added by the other one. The drawback of using tickets to get in touch with your web hosting company is that they’re often separate from the web hosting platform, which means that if you have to provide info or to adhere to directions, you’ll need to use no less than 2 different admin interfaces and this number may grow if you would like to administer several domain names. Besides, a lot of web hosting providers reply to tickets after a couple of hours, or even once in every 24 hours, and for you as a customer, this simply means wasted time whilst waiting around for an answer.
