When your website hosting provider offers live chat support, you are able to talk to an agent in real-time and learn useful information or get a problem resolved promptly. The advantage of using chat instead of calling to talk with a live person is that you will need only a computer with Internet connection, which means that you won't pay any fees when you're in a different country or state. Furthermore, it is a lot easier to copy and paste details for instance domains, usernames or error messages in other words details which are sometimes hard to provide to the other side on the phone. The live chat is also a quicker solution to contact the hosting company's support crew as compared to using a ticketing system. Last, but not least, in case some problem needs a little more time to be resolved, you'll be able to do something else while you wait for support on the live chat, which means that you won't waste time - something that is impossible if you're on the phone.
