There are several ways to contact the hosting company whose services you’re using, but the one that you’ll always find no matter which company you opt for is a trouble ticket system. This is the easiest method of correspondence for several reasons. In the event that no technical support staff member is free at the moment and they are all busy, a phone call may not be replied to, but a ticket will invariably hit home. On top of that, you can copy and paste extensive pieces of information without having to worry about typing mistakes, and in case a particular issue needs more time to be fixed or a number of responses need to be exchanged, all the information will be in one and the same location, so either party can always see the steps taken by the other one. The disadvantage of using tickets to touch base with your hosting company is that they are usually separate from the hosting platform, which implies that if you have to supply info or to adhere to directions, you will need to use at least 2 different admin consoles and this number could grow if you want to manage several domain names. Besides, a lot of web hosting companies respond to tickets after several hours, or even once in every twenty four hours, and for you as a customer, this means wasted time whilst waiting for an answer.
