How to ensure faster and friendlier web hosting support

This is a guide for customers of things to note when contacting their host's technical support team.

One ticket per issue

Emailing your issue to Support, Sales, Billing, Abuse, the owner, each individual tech, and the mayor of your town is not going to get your ticket answered any quicker. Additionally, opening 2, 3, 4, or 10 tickets isn't going to get things done any faster. Seriously — all it will do is irritate the support guy.

Contact the proper department

If your account is suspended due to non-payment, or your account hasn't yet been set up, or you want to upgrade your account — please don't bother contacting support hoping it'll get done faster. All it will do is slow down their response time to customers that have actual support issues. Billing issues go to Billing. Sales issues go to Sales. Abuse issues go to abuse. Get the picture?
