There are a handful of ways in which you can touch base with the web hosting company whose services you’re using, but the one that you’ll invariably find regardless of which company you opt for is a support ticket system. It is the least complicated channel of correspondence for a variety of reasons. In case no client support staff representative is free at the moment and they are all occupied, a phone call may not be responded to, but a ticket will invariably be received. Additionally, you can copy/paste extensive pieces of information without worrying about spelling mistakes, and if a specific problem requires more time to be resolved or a number of replies must be exchanged, all the info will be in the same location, so either party can always see the comments left by the other one. The negative side of using tickets to get in touch with your hosting provider is that they’re usually separate from the web hosting platform, so if you need to provide information or to adhere to guidelines, you will need to use at least two separate admin interfaces and this number may increase if you want to manage a couple of domains. Besides, a lot of web hosting companies 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.
