How to Open and Manage a Support Ticket

The fastest way to get help from Unisolva is through the support ticket system in the client portal at my.unisolva.com. Every request - whether it is a technical issue, a billing question, or a service change - is tracked as a ticket with a unique ID, status updates, and full conversation history. This article walks you through opening a ticket, providing the right information, and tracking it to resolution.

Prerequisites

  • An active Unisolva account
  • Access to the client portal at my.unisolva.com (your login credentials were sent when your account was created)

Step 1 - Log In to the Client Portal

  • Open your browser and go to my.unisolva.com
  • Enter your email address and password
  • If you have forgotten your password, click Forgot Password on the login page to receive a reset link by email

???? Tip Bookmark my.unisolva.com for quick access. This is the same portal where you manage your services, invoices, and domains.

Step 2 - Open a New Ticket

  • From the client portal dashboard, click Support in the top navigation menu
  • Click Open New Ticket
  • Select the appropriate department from the dropdown:
    • Technical Support - for hosting issues, website errors, email problems, server configuration, or any technical question
    • Billing Department - for invoice questions, payment issues, refund requests, or account balance inquiries
    • Sales Department - for pre-sales questions, new service quotes, plan upgrades, or ERP consultations

Step 3 - Fill In the Ticket Details

A well-written ticket gets resolved faster. Include the following:

  • Subject - a brief, specific summary of your issue (e.g., “Website showing 500 error since 2 PM” or “Cannot receive email on [email protected]”)
  • Priority - select the urgency level:
    • Low - non-urgent question or feature request
    • Medium - issue affecting functionality but with a workaround available
    • High - significant impact on operations, no easy workaround
    • Critical - complete service outage or data loss risk
  • Related Service - if applicable, select the hosting plan, domain, or service the issue relates to. This helps the team locate your account quickly.
  • Message - describe the issue in detail. Include:
    • What you were doing when the problem occurred
    • The exact error message (copy and paste it if possible)
    • When the issue started
    • What you have already tried
    • The URL or domain affected
  • Attachments - attach screenshots, error logs, or any files that help illustrate the problem
  • Click Submit to create the ticket

❗ Important Setting the correct priority helps the team triage your ticket accurately. Marking a non-urgent request as Critical does not speed it up - it can actually slow down response to genuinely critical issues. See: Understanding Unisolva’s SLA - Response and Resolution Times for priority definitions.

Step 4 - Track Your Ticket

After submitting, you can monitor your ticket’s progress:

  • Go to Support > My Tickets in the client portal
  • You see a list of all your tickets with their current status:
    • Open - your ticket has been submitted and is awaiting a response from the team
    • In Progress - a support engineer is actively working on your issue
    • Customer Reply - the team has responded and is waiting for your input
    • On Hold - the ticket is paused pending additional information or a scheduled action
    • Closed - the issue has been resolved
  • Click any ticket to view the full conversation, add replies, or upload additional attachments

???? Note You also receive email notifications for every reply on your ticket. You can respond directly from the client portal or by replying to the notification email - both methods update the same ticket thread.

Step 5 - Reply to Your Ticket

  • When the support team responds, you receive an email notification
  • Open the ticket in the client portal (Support > My Tickets) or reply to the email
  • Provide any additional information requested by the engineer
  • Attach new screenshots or files if relevant
  • Click Reply to send your response

???? Tip Keep all communication within the ticket thread. Avoid opening a second ticket for the same issue - it splits the conversation and can delay resolution. If you have a separate, unrelated issue, open a new ticket for that one.

Step 6 - Closing and Reopening Tickets

Tickets are closed in two ways:

  • Resolved by the team - the engineer marks the ticket as closed after confirming the issue is fixed. You receive a closure notification.
  • Auto-closed - if a ticket is waiting for your reply and you do not respond within several days, it may be automatically closed.

If a closed ticket’s issue reoccurs or was not fully resolved:

  • Open the closed ticket in Support > My Tickets
  • Click Reply to reopen it - this restores the full conversation history so the engineer has context
  • Describe what is still happening or what changed since the ticket was closed

Verify It Worked

  • You can log in to my.unisolva.com and navigate to Support > Open New Ticket
  • You have submitted a ticket and received a confirmation email with a ticket ID
  • You can view your ticket status and reply from the client portal
  • You know which department to select for different types of requests
