A ticketing system is the most popular channel of correspondence that hosting providers offer to their customers. It is usually part of the billing account and is the most effective way to resolve an issue that requires a certain period of time to examine or that needs to be forwarded to an administrator. In this way, all replies provided by either party will be stored in the same location in the event that someone else needs to work on the given problem and the information in the ticket will be available to all parties. The disadvantage of using a ticketing system with most hosting platforms is that it’s not integrated into the web hosting Control Panel, which means that you’ll have to sign in and out of at least two accounts in order to perform a particular procedure or to contact the company’s customer support team. In case you wish to administer a handful of domains and each one is hosted in its very own account, you will need to use an even larger number of accounts simultaneously. It could also take a considerable length of time for the hosting provider to answer your ticket.
