A ticketing system is the most popular medium of correspondence that hosting providers offer to their clients. It’s usually part of the billing account and is the most effective way to solve a problem that takes some time to investigate or that needs to be forwarded to a sysadmin. In this way, all comments contributed by either side will be kept in one and the same location in the event that somebody else needs to work on the given issue and the info in the ticket will be accessible to all parties. The drawback of using a ticketing system with most hosting platforms is that it’s not integrated into the hosting Control Panel, which means that you will have to log in and out of at least 2 accounts to execute a specific operation or to reach the company’s client care staff. If you wish to manage several domain names and each one is hosted in its very own account, you will need to use an even larger number of accounts simultaneously. It can also take a considerable amount of time for the hosting provider to process your ticket requests.
