A ticketing system is the most widely used channel of communication that hosting providers offer to their clients. It’s typically part of the billing account and is the fastest way to handle an issue that requires a certain period of time to investigate or that needs to be escalated to a system administrator. In this way, all comments provided by either party will be stored in one and the same place in the event that somebody else needs to work on the issue in question and the information in the ticket will be accessible to all parties. The downside of deploying a ticketing system with most web hosting platforms is that it’s not integrated into the hosting Control Panel, which means that you will need to log in and out of no less than two accounts to complete a specific operation or to get in touch with the company’s client care staff. In case you’d like to administer a number of domains and each one of them is hosted in a separate account, you’ll have to use an even larger number of accounts at the same time. In addition, it can take a significant length of time for the hosting provider to process your ticket request.
