A ticketing system is the most widely used medium of correspondence that hosting providers offer to their clients. It is most often part of the billing account and is the most efficient way to fix an issue that takes some time to investigate or that has to be escalated to a sysadmin. In this way, all responses contributed by either side will be stored in the very same location in case someone else needs to work on the given problem and the info already exchanged in the ticket will be accessible to all parties. The negative side of deploying a ticketing system with most hosting platforms is that it is separate from the web hosting Control Panel, which implies that you’ll need to sign in and out of at least two accounts in order to execute some task or to touch base with the company’s technical support staff. If you wish to manage a handful of domain names and each one of them is hosted in a different account, you’ll have to use even more accounts simultaneously. Moreover, it might take a substantial length of time for the provider to answer your ticket request.
