When your website hosting provider offers live chat support, you'll be able to speak with an agent live and find out useful info or get a problem resolved promptly. The key advantage of using chat instead of calling to talk with a live person is that you will need just a computer with Internet connection, therefore you will not pay any rates when you are in a different state or country. What's more, it will be quicker to copy and paste data such as domain names, usernames or error messages i.e. details that are sometimes hard to share with the other side on the phone. The live chat is also a much faster solution to contact the website hosting provider's support team in comparison to using a ticketing system. Last, but not least, in case some situation needs more time to be resolved, you're able to do something else while you wait for assistance on the live chat, therefore you will not lose time - something that is impossible if you are on the phone.
