There are a number of ways to touch base with the hosting company whose services you are using, but the one that you will always find irrespective of which company you opt for is a ticketing system. It is the easiest communication medium for many reasons. If no customer support staff member is free at the moment and they are all occupied, a phone call may not be responded to, but a ticket will always be received. Moreover, you can copy and paste large bits of info without needing to worry about misprints, and if a given issue requires more time to be solved or a number of replies must be exchanged, all the info will be in one and the same place, so either party can always see the steps taken by the other one. The negative side of using tickets to contact your web hosting provider is that they’re usually separate from the hosting platform, which goes to say that if you need to provide info or to follow directions, you’ll need to use no less than 2 different admin consoles and this number can grow in case you want to administer a couple of domain names. In addition, a lot of web hosting providers respond to tickets after hours, or even once in every twenty four hours, and for you as a client, this means wasted time while awaiting an answer.
