There are several ways to touch base with the hosting company whose services you are using, but the one that you will invariably find irrespective of which company you select is a ticketing system. It’s the least complicated medium of correspondence for many reasons. If no customer support 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. Plus, you can copy/paste extensive pieces of info without having to worry about printing mistakes, and in case a given issue requires more time to be fixed or a number of replies need to be exchanged, all the info will be in one and the same place, so each party can always see the comments written by the other one. The negative side of using tickets to get in touch with your web hosting company is that they are often separate from the hosting platform, which suggests that if you have to provide info or to follow instructions, you will need to use at least two different admin interfaces and this number might grow in case you desire to manage a handful of domains. Furthermore, many web hosting companies respond to tickets after several hours, or even once in every twenty four hours, and for you as a client, this simply means wasted time whilst waiting for an answer.
