Open the ticket form and choose the right department

Sign in to the Client Area, open Support Tickets, and choose Open Ticket. Select the department closest to the issue, then enter the account email and a short, specific subject.

Write a specific subject

Use a subject such as “Cannot send from This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. since 10:30 AM” instead of “Email is not working.” Never include login details in the subject.

Describe the issue in order

In Message, list the affected service, when the issue started, the last change before it, steps that reproduce it, and the exact error. Include the device, browser, or mail app when relevant.

Use a compact information template

Structure the message as service, domain, start time, actions taken, current result, expected result, and full error text. This reduces follow-up questions and helps the engineer reproduce the issue.

Attach useful and safe evidence

Attach a clear screenshot that includes the error and relevant interface. Hide passwords, API keys, payment data, and personal information. Review log files before attaching them.

Add the evidence, review the request, and then submit it. Public WHMCS form

Submit and follow the same ticket

Choose Submit once and keep the ticket number. Reply inside the same ticket when the engineer responds instead of opening a duplicate, and include the outcome of requested tests.

Important security note
Do not send a password, verification code, API key, or payment information in the message or screenshot. If temporary access is required, use the secure method specified by ROT4 and rotate the credentials after troubleshooting.

Your ticket is ready for diagnosis

A specific subject + reproduction steps + exact error + safe evidence usually means faster, more accurate support.
