There are several ways to open a Support Ticket at KartHost
Option 1) Loggin into your KartHost Customer Center account to open and reply to tickets. Instructions are further below.
Option 2) Send an email to [email protected]. The Email MUST come FROM an email address associated with a KartHost Customer Center User or Contact that has Support ticket permissions:
If Opening a Ticket via Email here is the recommended way to send it:
Email Subject: Add the domain name of the product/service you are inquiring like "mydomain.com - I am unable to login to my WordPress Site"
Email Body: Telling use "it doesn't work" will only delay helping you. Provide specifics, of the issue you are having, copy any Errors and paste them into the email, the more information you can give us less back and forth we will have to do. Also, be monitoring for replies back to your email or login to your account if you have login privileges and check your ticket.
Screenshots - If YOU want to be the Hero with ANY Tech Support, provide screenshots of any errors or other items and attached them to your email. If you have to use your phone to take a picture do it, better than nothing. I would recommend you use a free app for your desktop or laptop called TechSmith Capture (previously known as Jing) It's simple to use, Get the Free Download here TechSmith Capture. And if all possible send the screenshots in the .png format.
