When your web hosting company offers live chat support, you can talk to a representative live and find out useful info or get an issue resolved timely. The advantage of using chat as an alternative to calling to talk with a live person is that you will need just a computer with world wide web access, which means that you will not pay any charges when you're in a different country or state. What's more, it'll be simpler to copy and paste information such as domain names, usernames or error messages i.e. details that are sometimes hard to give to the other side over the phone. The live chat is also a faster way to contact your website hosting supplier's support crew as compared to using a ticketing system. What's more, in the event that some trouble requires some more time to be resolved, you are able to do something different while you wait for support on the live chat, therefore you will not waste time - something that is not possible when you're on the phone.
