A ticketing system is the most widespread communication medium that hosting companies offer to their clients. It is usually part of the billing account and is the fastest way to resolve a problem that requires a certain period of time to examine or that needs to be forwarded to a sysadmin. In this way, all comments given by either party will be kept in the very same place in case someone else wants to work on the problem at hand and the info already exchanged in the ticket will be available to all parties. The disadvantage of using a ticketing system with most web hosting platforms is that it is not included in the web hosting Control Panel, so you’ll need to log in and out of no less than 2 accounts in order to perform a given task or to touch base with the company’s tech support team. In case you wish to manage a number of domains and each one of them is hosted in a different account, you will need to use an even larger number of accounts simultaneously. On top of that, it can take a considerable period of time for the provider to reply to your tickets.
