How do I open a support ticket from my control panel?

A ticket is a message you write to our support team. It starts a conversation that stays saved in your account, along with every reply. In this guide you open a ticket from your control panel in 8 steps, so your message reaches the right department and you can follow the answer in one place.

Before you start.

Have your account's e-mail address and password ready, along with a short description of what happened. If you have a picture of the problem or a file that explains it, keep it close so you can attach it to the ticket.

1. Open the sign-in page and sign in to your account

Open the sign-in page. You see a card with two fields. Type your e-mail address (1) and your password (2), then press the “Sign in” button (3).

The sign-in card, with the number 1 beside the e-mail field, the number 2 beside the password field, and a frame numbered 3 round the sign-in button.
Type your e-mail and password, then press “Sign in”.

Done.

You are now in your control panel, the main page of your account, with the side menu beside it.

2. Press “Tickets” in the side menu

Find the “Support” group in the side menu, then press “Tickets” under it. If you do not see the menu, press the button that shows it at the top of the page.

The Support group of the side menu, with a frame round the Tickets row.
Press “Tickets”, under the “Support” heading.

3. Press “New ticket”

The “Support tickets” page opens, with all your conversations with the support team. If this is your first ticket, the table is empty and says “No tickets yet”. Press the “New ticket” button at the top of the page.

The top of the Support tickets page, with the Filter and New ticket buttons, with the rest of the page dimmed so the New ticket button stands out.
Press “New ticket” to open the ticket form.

4. Choose the department that fits your problem

The “Open a ticket” page opens. In the “Routing” card you decide who receives your message. Press the “Department” field, then choose the closest match from the list that appears, such as “Technical Support”, “Billing” or “Sales”.

The ticket form with the list of the Department field open, showing the departments, and a frame round the Department field.
Press “Department”, then choose the closest match.

5. Set your ticket's priority

The priority tells the support team how urgent your problem is. The “Priority” field starts on “Medium”, so leave it as it is if that fits. To change it, press the field and choose “Low”, “High” or “Urgent”.

The Routing card with the Department and Priority fields, and a frame round the Priority field, which is set to Medium.
Change the priority if “Medium” does not fit your problem.

The “Which service is this about?” field.

If you have services in your account, such as your site's hosting or its address (the domain), you see this field under the priority. It does not appear in the picture. Press it and choose the service your problem concerns, because naming it gets your ticket to the right person faster. If your question is general, leave it as it is.

6. Type the subject and your message

In the “Message” card, type one short sentence that sums up the problem in the “Subject” field (1). Then explain in the “Message” field (2) what happened, when it happened and what you tried, and copy the text of any error message you saw. The clearer your explanation, the easier it is for the team to help you.

The Message card, with an example title and the number 1 beside the Subject field, and an example text and the number 2 beside the Message field.
Type a short subject, then explain the problem in the message.

7. Attach a file if it explains the problem

This step is optional, so skip it if you have nothing to attach. Press the “Add files” box and choose the file from your device. The file appears in a box, with a new box beside it for adding another. You can attach up to 5 files, each up to 10 MB.

The Attachments part of the form, with a frame round the Add files box.
Press “Add files” if you want to attach a picture or a file.

Wait until the file finishes uploading.

Each file starts copying from your device to our servers as soon as you choose it. If you press “Open ticket” before that finishes, the ticket is not sent and you see the message “Please wait for the upload to finish.”

8. Press “Open ticket”

Check what you wrote, then press the “Open ticket” button in the “Send to support” card. The same card tells you what happens next: our team is notified, and you get a confirmation by e-mail.

The Send to support card, with four lines about what happens after sending, and a frame round the Open ticket button.
Press “Open ticket” to send your message to the support team.

Done.

A message tells you the ticket is open and gives its reference, a code that sets it apart from your other tickets, such as tkt-1234-5678. You then move to the ticket's page, and a confirmation reaches your e-mail.

What happens after you open the ticket?

The ticket's page holds the whole conversation. At the top is your ticket's subject, and under it its reference, status, priority and department. Press the reference if you want to copy it. Under your message you see “Waiting for our team” until the first reply arrives.

When the team answers, the reply appears on the same page without you reloading it, and a message reaches your e-mail. To continue the conversation, type in the “Your reply” field, then press “Send reply”. You can come back to your ticket at any time from the “Tickets” page.
