There are a handful of ways to touch base with the hosting company whose services you are using, but the one that you’ll invariably find no matter which company you choose is a support ticket system. This is the least complicated channel of communication for a variety of reasons. In case no customer service team member is available at the moment and they are all busy, a phone call may not be responded to, but a ticket will invariably be received. On top of that, you can copy & paste large pieces of info without needing to worry about misprints, and if a specific issue requires more time to be sorted out or a number of replies have to be exchanged, all the information will be in one and the same place, so either party can always see the comments supplied by the other one. The drawback of using tickets to get in touch with your hosting provider is that they’re often separate from the web hosting platform, which goes to say that if you have to supply information or to adhere to directions, you will need to use at least two different systems and this number might grow in case you wish to manage multiple domains. Plus, lots of hosting providers respond to tickets after a few hours, or even once in every 24 hours, and for you as a client, this means wasted time while awaiting an answer.
