Trouble Tickets Answered 24/7

Our primary method of support is our trouble ticketing system. Trouble Tickets are looked at around the clock. A ticketing system is essentially a sophisticated support emailing system that clients can access through their account control panel or by using our Online Support Form.

How do I open a trouble ticket?

After logging in to your Account Control Panel, you will see a Help Icon as one of the top menu items. Click on this icon to open the Help Section. Click on Request Support (top-right) to open a new ticket. You can click on Trouble Tickets to review all past trouble tickets.

If you cannot login to your Account Control Panel or if you have forgotten your login information, please go to our Online Support Form, and fill out the online form HERE. Only account holders will receive a response to the Online Support Form, so it is advised you use the email address that is on your account.

Why is a ticketing system your primary method of support?

After years of providing support to our clients, we've determined that our ticketing system provides the most efficient support for the following main reasons:

• A ticketing system provides a detailed account of the issue you are having, so that any technician assigned to your ticket can quickly and easily get to speed on your problem.
• More often than not, a complex issue cannot be resolved in a single call. A ticketing system allows for your issue to be easily escalated to a higher level support technician.
• A ticketing system allows you to set the urgency level of your issue allowing our technicians to prioritize the tickets.
• A ticketing system allows us to review the quality of our support responses and make improvements where necessary.

Regular Phone Support 24/7

Our Technical Support lines are open 24 / 7.

It is highly recommended that before you call our phone support, you first open a trouble ticket and have the ticket number ready to give to our technician. This will speed up the support process.

Live Chat Support

We offer live chat during regular office hours from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am - 5:30 pm EST. If our Live Chat Support is offline, it likely means our support is busy answering tickets, on the phone, or engaged in another live chat session. You can leave an Offline Live Chat Message. NOTE: Only account holders will receive a response to the Offline Live Chat form, so it is advised you use the email address that is on your account.
