There are several ways to touch base with the hosting company whose services you’re using, but the one that you’ll invariably find regardless of which company you choose is a support ticket system. This is the least complicated method of correspondence for a number of reasons. In the event that no client service staff member is available at the moment and they are all engaged, a phone call may not be answered, but a ticket will invariably hit home. Besides, you can copy/paste extensive bits of info without needing to worry about typographical errors, and in case a certain issue requires more time to be resolved or a number of replies must be exchanged, all the information will be in one and the same location, so either party can always see the comments provided by the other one. The negative side of using tickets to touch base with your web hosting provider is that they are usually separate from the hosting platform, which goes to say that if you have to provide info or to follow guidelines, you will have to use no less than 2 different interfaces and this number can grow if you would like to manage several domain names. On top of that, a lot of hosting providers reply to tickets after hours, or even once in every twenty four hours, and for you as a customer, this means wasted time whilst waiting for a reply.
