There are a number of ways to contact the hosting company whose services you’re using, but the one that you’ll always find no matter which company you pick is a ticketing system. It is the least complicated communication channel for several reasons. In case no help desk staff representative is available at the moment and they’re all engaged, a phone call may not be responded to, but a ticket will always be received. Besides, you can copy & paste extensive pieces of information without the need to worry about printing mistakes, and if a given issue needs more time to be fixed or a number of responses need to be exchanged, all the information will be in one place, so either party can always see the steps taken by the other one. The disadvantage of using tickets to contact your hosting provider is that they are often separate from the web hosting platform, which implies that if you have to supply information or to adhere to guidelines, you’ll need to use no less than 2 different accounts and this number might rise if you would like to manage multiple domain names. Besides, a lot of web hosting companies respond to tickets after hours, or even once in every 24 hours, and for you as a client, this simply means wasted time while waiting for a response.
