Post Just a little suggestion

There needs to be a separate support system for dedicated clients or a way to forward it right to 3rd level support (whatever the best one is) because I’m kina getting tired of explaining to the first people what the problem is and they talk back about how its not available anymore (the new cpanel) lol and it would speed up support for us a few minutes buy going right to the people that can help. I think that 99% of the dedicated clients don’t ever need support from the first people.

Maybe something like dedicatedsurpasshosting.com for support for dedicated problems

Or maybe a notification so it goes right to the people that can help us.

Again this is just a suggestion..

You need to tell him that it's gone.

You could have meant
A) Some programs are missing
B) None of the programs will install
C) It's not there
D) It's an outdated version
E) Many other things

How is support supposed to know which one it is? They aren't psychic.... I don't think.

If you are opening new tickets, and ask questions out of the blue like that, it isn't going to allow the support team to help you any faster. Sorry. With the amount of tickets they get, it is impossible to remember each person who is sending in another ticket most of the time. I have to agree with what SmartGuy stated. Each time you send in a ticket, you need to explain what you need so that nothing is unclear.

ok, i figured your system would group tickets together by sender or user. Apparently not.

I hope to not contact support in the future, so hopefully I will not have to worry about these occurences
