A ticketing system is the most common channel of correspondence that web hosting companies offer to their clients. It is most often part of the billing account and is the most efficient way to fix an issue that requires a certain period of time to investigate or that needs to be escalated to an admin. Thus, all responses contributed by either party will be kept in one place in the event that somebody else wants to work on the given problem and the info already exchanged in the ticket will be accessible to all parties. The disadvantage of deploying a ticketing system with most web hosting platforms is that it’s not included in the web hosting Control Panel, which implies that you’ll need to log in and out of no less than 2 accounts in order to execute some operation or to reach the company’s tech support staff. If you would like to manage a handful of domains and each one of them is hosted in its very own account, you will have to use an even larger number of accounts simultaneously. Moreover, it can take a considerable length of time for the hosting provider to answer your ticket requests.
