There are several ways in which you can contact the hosting company whose services you are using, but the one that you’ll invariably find regardless of which company you select is a trouble ticket system. This is the least complicated means of correspondence for different reasons. In the event that no technical support team representative is available at the moment and they are all engaged, a phone call may not be replied to, but a ticket will invariably hit home. You can also copy/paste large pieces of info without having to worry about printing errors, and if a certain problem needs more time to be sorted out or a number of responses need to be exchanged, all the information will be in the exact same place, so either party can always follow the steps taken by the other one. The disadvantage of using tickets to get in touch with your web hosting company is that they are often separate from the hosting platform, which implies that if you have to supply info or to adhere to instructions, you will have to use at least 2 different accounts and this number can rise in case you’d like to administer a number of domain names. Furthermore, a lot of web hosting companies reply to tickets after several hours, or even once in every twenty four hours, and for you as a customer, this means wasted time while waiting around for a response.
