When your hosting supplier provides live chat support, you can talk with an agent live and find out useful info or get an issue resolved timely. The main advantage of using chat compared to calling to talk to a live person is that you will need only a computer with web access, so that you won't pay any fees if you're in another state or country. In addition, it'll be easier to copy and paste info like domains, usernames or error messages in other words details that are sometimes hard to provide to the other side on the phone. The live chat is also a considerably quicker approach to contact your website hosting provider's support team compared to using a ticketing system. Last, but not least, in case some problem requires a little more time to be taken care of, you can do something else while you wait for assistance on the live chat, which means that you will not lose time - something that is not possible in case you are on the phone.
