How-to Guide: support portal and ticketing system

  • Updated
Applies to:
  • Support self-service portal

Overview

We use a ticketing system to track and process all incoming requests from Virtuozzo customers. We can help the following issues - by selecting the right category when you raise a ticket, you will help us direct your inquiry to the right support engineers: 

  • Technical issue
    The option you'll probably use the most often. Use this to submit tickets about any technical or configuration issues you experience when using our products.
  • Security issue
    Please use this category if you believe you have identified any security breach related to a product. You can also use this option if you have particular questions about new or existing CVEs.
  • How-to question
    Choose this option if you don't know how to accomplish a certain task with our products – but please search our product documentation first: you will probably find the answer quickly!
  • Feature request
    Choose this category to request new product features. All feature requests are considered, and we use this input to help determine our product roadmaps.
  • Professional Service

    Professional Service requests involve tasks that exceed our regular support offerings and operations activities, including complex installations, upgrades, custom configurations, and advanced troubleshooting. These services are outside the support scope and will incur additional charges based on the task's complexity, time, and urgency.

    Some typical out-of-scope activities include:

    Operations Activities:
    - adding a region or hardware node to a cluster
    - upgrading host Virtuozzo software
    - comprehensive system installations
    - administration activities (system/server/network/storage equipment configuration, etc.)
    - disaster recovery due to customer oversight
    - backups management
    - migration activities
    - disaster recovery
    - custom environment setups.

    Advanced Troubleshooting and Configurations:
    - performance tuning
    - hardware issues analysis
    - custom configurations.

    When submitting "Professional Service" request type, please include specifics about the required service.

    Upon submission, the Professional Services team will review your request. Once confirmed, the appropriate task will be scheduled based on your needs, urgency, and the availability of our Professional Services engineers. Our experienced engineers are available for assistance on a paid basis unless otherwise agreed upon. Pricing discussions will be managed by your regional Account Manager or Assigned Technical Account Manager, if provided under the terms of the contract.

    Please note that urgent requests may incur higher costs for prioritization. Additionally, Professional Services are billed separately and are not covered under the support SLA.

  • License issue
    Choose this option if you have any questions or issues with product licensing.
  • Request new support portal user
    Use this type to create an account for your colleague and adjust permissions. 
  • Billing / usage issue
    Choose this option if you have inquiries or concerns to Virtuozzo Billing Department regarding billing statements, costs, payment processing, documentation, or related financial matters. 
  • Escalate to support management
    Hopefully, you will never need this, but select this option if you would like to escalate your ticket to support management. Usually you may want to do it if:
      • You believe a case is not being processed fast enough
      • You have complaints about how a case is being handled
      • You have feedback on support quality or processes
  • Support portal issue
    If there is an issue directly related to the support portal itself - use this issue type to report the problem.
  • Informational inquiry

    This request type covers non-technical inquiries, including maintenance activity updates and general information requests that are not related to "How-to" questions. Select this option to notify support with general information or clarifications. There is no SLA or customer satisfaction rating associated with this issue type.

    Please note: If the nature of your request changes and requires technical support or a different type of assistance, it may be reclassified to a more appropriate issue type by the support team to ensure a timely and accurate resolution.

  • Feedback
    The "Feedback" request type in the support portal allows customers to share comments and suggestions regarding their experience with Virtuozzo. This request type is informational only and does not have an associated SLA or priority level, as it’s intended solely for collecting feedback to help us enhance our services.
