A support ticket is the way to get Domain India's team to investigate a problem with your website, email, domain or bill, with a written record you can come back to. Logged in, you open one at Support › Open New Ticket in the client area; without an account, you use the public ticket form. This quick guide shows both, and what to write so your ticket is solved on the first reply.

Key takeaways

Open a ticket at /client/support/new when logged in, or at /support/ticket without logging in. Choose the department and the related service, write a subject that names the domain and the problem, paste the exact error and attach a screenshot. Every ticket gets a first response within 15 minutes; follow it and reply under Support in your client area.

For the full guide

How tickets work, how to choose a department and priority, and how to follow up are covered in What is a support ticket system. What to expect after you submit is in Support response times.

1. Open a ticket from your client area

  1. Sign in
    to the client area.
  2. Go to Support
    and choose Open New Ticket, or go straight to /client/support/new.
  3. Fill in the form.
    Add a subject, department, issue type, priority and your message. Under Related Service, pick the hosting account or domain the problem is about.
  4. Attach files
    if they help: up to 5 files of 10 MB each (JPG, PNG, GIF, PDF or TXT).
  5. Click Submit Ticket.
    The ticket appears in your support list with its number.

Opening the ticket while logged in links it to your account, so the team can see the right service straight away.

2. Open a ticket without logging in

If you cannot sign in, or you are not a customer yet, use the public Submit a Ticket form. Enter your name and email address, choose a department and priority, write your subject and message, and attach up to 3 files of 10 MB each. After you submit, the page shows your ticket reference and a confirmation goes to your email address. Check its status later at Track Ticket with the ticket number and the same email address.

3. Choose the department and priority

DepartmentChoose it for
Technical SupportA website, server, hosting, email or DNS problem
BillingPayments, invoices and refunds
SalesQuestions before you buy, new orders and upgrades
General InquiryGeneral questions and feedback

The client-area form offers Low, Medium and High priority; the public form adds Urgent. Match the priority to the real impact and keep High and Urgent for a service that is affected or down. Every ticket, whatever its priority, gets a first response within 15 minutes; how long the fix takes depends on the issue.

4. Write a ticket that gets solved first time

Name the domain
Put the domain or email address in the subject, for example "example.in: 500 error on the checkout page".
Quote the exact error
Copy the message word for word, or the full bounce message for email problems.
Say when it started
The date and approximate time, and whether it happens always or only sometimes.
Say what you tried
Cleared the cache, another browser, mobile data, a restore. It saves a round of questions.
Attach a screenshot
With the address bar visible, and with any passwords blurred out.
One issue per ticket
A billing question and an email fault go to different teams, so open two tickets.

A short example:

text
Subject: example.in shows "500 Internal Server Error" since 10:00 today

Every page of example.in has shown a 500 error since about 10:00.
I updated two WordPress plugins just before it started.
Cleared my cache and tried on mobile data: same result.
Screenshot attached.
Never send a password

Do not put a password, a two-factor code, a private SSH key or card details in a ticket. Domain India support will never ask for them.

5. Reply to and follow up on your ticket

  • In the client area: open the ticket under Support, type your reply and attach files if needed. You see the whole conversation and its status there.
  • By email: replying to the ticket notification email adds your message to the same ticket.
  • Same problem, same ticket: add new details as a reply rather than opening a second ticket, which splits the history in two.

From the ticket you can also close it once the problem is solved, or escalate it if you are not happy with how it is going. For a fuller walkthrough, see viewing and replying to support tickets.

6. Ticket or live chat?

Live chat, open 24/7 from the chat icon on every page, is quickest for a short question or to find a setting. A ticket is better for anything that needs investigation, a change to your account, a refund request or a written record. There is no phone support. The support channels guide compares the two.
