Processing requests
To quickly solve simple issues and efficiently solve more complex, we have divided the technical support service into several lines. Initially, you can only contact the first line. If the issue cannot be resolved by the first line, the request is sent to the second, and if it cannot be resolved by the second, it is redirected to the administrators.
The appeal is initially written in the online chat and only if the issue cannot be quickly resolved, it is transferred to a ticket and goes to the second line of the technical support service. If the second line of technical support is not able to solve the problem, then the request is forwarded to the hosting administrators. The further the question goes, the longer it will take to resolve, since complex questions accumulate on the second line of technical support. According to statistics, 85% of issues are resolved when contacting the first line of technical support.
A separate line of technical support is a consulting center that handles calls by phone. In the telephone mode, consultations are provided on services, accounting documents, the use of the control panel. If the phone call goes beyond the consultation, the call center employee will recommend contacting the online chat.
In order for a technical support request to be resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible, when contacting, it is necessary to briefly and clearly state the problem, and also describe how it can be reproduced. A well-written appeal is one that does not need to be asked additional questions to resolve. An example of mishandling: "My site does not work", An example of correct handling is"When you visit the website page www.mysite.com/page/, the server returns a 403 error».
