Should I Contact Customer Service or Tech Support?
If your inquiry/concern is not technical in nature, we recommend you reach out to Customer Service instead of the Technical Support team. But if your issue is website or email related, for example, our Technical Support team would be better equipped to assist you.
Here is some additional information on which team to reach out to based on your specific problem.
Before Contacting Us – Gathering the Right Information
To receive the best possible support, having all the necessary information before contacting us is beneficial.
- cPanel username or the primary domain listed on the account
- Account Verification for Live Calls and Chats such as the Hashcode Verification found in your AMP, Passphrase (you can setup in AMP), or the last four digits of the current credit card on file.
Gathering specific information can help us gain some insight into the issues you need help resolving. To do so, here’s a basic guide to what information we’re looking for:
- Your domain name.
- A description of the problem.
- History of the problem.
- Any error messages you are receiving.
- Steps we can take to replicate the problem.
- What software and version are you using?
- Is it a base install or are plugins/modules added?
- Were there any changes made just prior to the start of the issue?
- If the software supports it, is caching enabled?
For more details on what information you will need to provide to your tech support agent, please see our article entitled Necessary information to know before contacting support.

Hi, Could you please help me log in to my WordPress as I can’t log in anymore.
Here is the information that may be useful to guide me to solve this problem:
I am currently using:
WordPress version 5.9.2
Current theme: Astra (version 1.8.7)
Current extension: Elementor Pro (version 2.5.12)
PHP version 7.4.30.
Please help me out on this! Thanks
ML
We’re happy to help but will need some additional information. What happens when you attempt to login? Are you getting any error messages?
Please can someone explain what this number means!
888.321.HOST(4678)
– What does the 888 code mean?
– What do the dots mean if anything?
– What are the numbers in brackets?
– What is the international dialing code?
– What does it mean to have letters instead of numbers in a phone number? This is not something I have come across.
I would like to phone from the UK, but although we speak english here this number code could just as well be in french.
I expect to see a number like +1 and then the number. I just want to call, most likely with skype or whatsapp, but I am lost in a cultural swamp I never expected.
I’m sorry for the confusion. For international calls, you can dial: +17574166575 to reach us.
The 888 phone number is for toll-free calling within the US only.
how can i retrieve permanently deleted files from cpanel?
If the files aren’t in your .trash folder, you’ll need to restore the file(s) from a backup.
i have a portal in my admin section have some error like 500 in time of retrive data
so how can solve it
I recommend checking out our guide on the 500 Internal Server error. It goes over the common causes and solutions to this problem.
Thank you,

Hello there,
I’m hoping you can help with this frustrating problem im experiencing. I am noticing that some of my images are showing the white box with blue question mark. I have deleted, uploaded and placed them in their locations all over again, countless times. and after a day or two shows this box again. I dont knwo how to fix this, as every solution ive seen online DOES NOT fix this issue.Please help me fix it…permanently!! thanks in advance!1
Unfortunately, I am unable to diagnose why your images are constantly being removed and replaced with the white box and blue question mark. What software are you using to build your website? Has the website been moved? Are the permissions on the server that you are hosting your website being adjusted unknowingly? Does anyone else have access to change these images? There are many reason this may be happening. If you are customer of InMotion Hosting, I recommend reaching out to live technical support for further assistance as the public forum is not a suitable alternative for help with your specific account.
I recommend contacting our Live Technical Support for assistance with your account specifically. Unfortunately, there are not enough details to diagnose the issue and that information may not be appropriate for the public forum.
Good afternoon. I desperately need to know why I am unable to log into my webmail account. Its been just over a week and it always reads “We could not log you in. Please try again.”
Dears,
I bought a domain name from your website but Idid not received any email confirmation for this transaction – money already retreived from my account bank??
BR,
Mourad
I’m sorry to see that you have not received the confirmation email. I recommend reaching out to our Support team for further assistance with your account.
The section regarding “Launch Chat” is incorrect. I don’t see this anywhere when I log into my AMP login, and would like to contact a rep through online text chat support since my ticket still hasn’t been addressed regarding a recent scammer attack.
Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. I have edited the page to update how to get to the Launch Chat button.
Thanks so much for sharing!
It’s our pleasure. Let us know if you have any questions!
Last Sunday, I contacted with your technical support team. They guided me very politely. Thanks
Great! We’re glad we could help, and we appreciate the feedback.
Today, most of the hosting sites have technical support team. But your given info is very helpful for those people who want to contact with technical support. Thanks.
You’re welcome! Thanks for your feedback. Be sure to click the Yes button next to: “Did you find this article helpful?” This helps others in the community quickly locate the most helpful articles!

Thank’s
Hello – please contact our live customer service team for assistance with your domain transfer. We cannot do that here in the Support Center website. You can see their contact information here.
I am now using WP-500S Plan. Every time I update something in WordPress and click “publish”, it took quite much time for the website is actually get updated. May I know is there any settings that I can alleviate this time lag?
Thanks.
It really depends on what is being updated, but if you enable debugging in WordPress it may provide more insight into what is occurring.
Thank you,

Good day Sir/Ma’am,
My domain name is rvkinnandr****.com, I am having a problem with the reset password process. I recently updated my gmail accounts password and also I want to reset my password for my cpanel account. But when I am about to send a security code to my gmail account, nothing happens I can not receive any security codes on my email. This problem is taking me hours to solve and find what is wrong, i do not receive any error messages on the cpanel i just want to reset my password and that is all.
Please reply as soon as you can, this is for my thesis. Thank you and have a good day.
You can change your cPanel password through cPanelor WHM (if you have access). If you are a customer of InMotion Hosting, you can use your Account Management Panel to change your cPanel password.

Hello,
How do I “view” my support tickets?
While I was writing my support ticket, I was half asleep. I think I hit submit (or may be I did not) but not too sure. Is there a link that I can click to see my submitted support tickets?
Thanks for the help.
Hello Adarsh,
Currently, support tickets are email based. If you sent anything through the ticket system, then it would have been replied to via email. Please review your email history for replies to the ticket. There is a ticket system in development, but we do not have an ETA on its completion at this time.
If you have any further questions, please let us know.
Kindest regards,

i dont have the php.ini file in my root folder I need to change the settings please help me.
Hello Toshiba tech support,
If you are a hosting customer with InMotion Hosting, then it’s really simple. Login to the cPanel, find the PHP configuration option. Click on UPDATE and a default php.ini file will be placed in the public_html folder. If you’re not a customer, then you will need to speak with your host, or, if you know what changes need to be added, you can create a text file labeled “php.ini” and then place the text in the file.
I hope that helps! If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.
Regards,
Arnel C.

We will need the last four digits of the credit card on file or the password. If you have forgotten the password, you may want to reset it.

My goodness, the questions being asked in this comment thread are unbelievable. I am not certain how you guys can keep answering them without throwing something across the room.

Since this is just our public forums we cannot make any changes to your account from here. Please use one of the methods described above to contact our Live Support team, and they can copy the default php.ini file back to your account.
You can then change your PHP settings.
Thank you,

My company just got a new phone system. We have been experiencing some technical difficulties with it. I’m a little nervous that this is going to be a common issue. Unless however I can find help. It sounds like technical support deals with a lot of issues. Do they also deal with phone systems and networking?
Hello Jessie,
I apologize but no they only handle support for our products. Have you tried calling the telephone company or the phone manufacture.
Best Regards,

How to get full video sent by iphone to email.
Hello Surendra,
Thanks for the question about sending a video from your iphone to email. You can easily do this, but you first need to locate the video in the PHOTOS section where it is saved. Select the video, then click on the SHARE icon and you will have the option to send the video to an email address. I hope that helps to answer your question. In the future, to help us keep these questions organized, please use the questions option, or place the question under an appropriate category (such as “emails”). If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.

Arnel C.
guy this is what i have ass problem i can’t ON the cache type
https://prntscr.com/952lmx
Hello Eric,
If you’re on a shared server, then you may not be able to change that setting. It requires root access (normally available only on VPS or dedicated servers). You have edit the MySQL configuration file in order to make that change. If you are an InMotion Hosting customer and you don’t have root access on either VPS or Dedicated, then you submit a verified support ticket with the request.
I hope this helps to answer your question, please let us know if you require any further assistance.

I am using Outlook 2013. As sson as I disconnected from the VPN and clicked Send/Receive, everything went out.
Hello Rob,
If you are able to send via webmail via VPN and not through Outlook, it would not be a server issue, but something between the email client and the VPN. Give webmail a test to see how it behaves.
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
Another thing to check: I use a VPN quite a bit and found that, when I was connected to it, I could receive but not send mail. You might want to add this to your troubleshooting steps.
Hello Rob,
How are you trying to send the emails? Via an email client or using the web email client?
Best Regards,
TJ Edens
i just purchase my hosting,then the next thing to do is set up my hostingl account,but when i type in my username and password nothing is happening the c panel setup is not going through

How to install ZendOptimizer?
I have in my php.ini
[Zend]
zend_extension=”/etc/opt/php_extensions/ZendOptimizer.so”
wehere ZendOptimizer.so is at this path. I use php v 5.3.10 and there is not information about the oprimizer in phpinfo.
Does it work with php > 5.2 ?
Zend is enabled on all servers by default, however, your php.ini may be looking for an incorrect path. You may simply comment out this line in your php.ini file in which the server will then use the default installed location.
forgot my password and connot log into my email account. all I have is email address
[email protected]
Hello Lisa,
Sorry to hear that you forgot your password. Unfortunately, we can’t reset that for you here in the Support Center as it requires some security screening to protect our customer accounts. Please contact our live technical support team as per the article above. If you are not the account owner, then you will need to contact that individual for assistance. Support verifies accounts using either the credit card on the account, or the Account Management Panel (AMP) password.
Kindest regards,

Login : Error as I”ncorrect Password”
present I receive through forward option which was setup earlier.. So Iam unable to respond to reply any clients.
If you could assist to reset the password and confirm admin login.. It will be helpful..
The person who supported to develop Teh web and create email access is not reachable..
Thank You,
sajesh
Judging by the error, it seems that you simply have an incorrect password. Have you attempted to change it and use the new password? It also appears that this website is not hosted with us so there could be another issue there as well. You may need to contact the hosting provider for more exact information.
Hi,
i have been using the email since a year+ which was supported by one of the web developer. But now since 3 weeks unable to login and access the email.
Can you please assist to resolve the issue.
Thank you,
sajesh
I am happy to help. Could you provide more information about the issue such as the errors that you are receiving as well as the mail client that you are using?
Hello Friends,
Thank you so much for reading my post.
Actually, i have troubles with Magento 1.8.0.0. When i put a simple php file that prints a simple hello world in my magento’s local model folder of controllers, i cannot access it through that path. Lat’s say i my file is here: localhost/magento/app/code/local/CompanyName/ModuleName/Model/Hello.php. When i try to access thi file through my browser, i get the 403 forbidden error, saying that i have no permission to access that file at that server. i input it like this: https://localhost/magento/index.php/ModuleName/Hello.php. May you help me? Thank you so much.
Gloria!
Hello Gloria,
Sorry for the problem. We do not mind providing assistance for your queries, but we sincerely appreciate you placing your question in the section for Magento, or submit it as a question. This insures that other visitors who see the same issue can find it and help provide specific information sorted into a related area.
As for your path – you will not be able to access the file that away because of your URL. You will need to use the URL that you use to access Magento. For example, if you access magento at http ://example.com/magento, then the path to access your file would be https:// example.com/phpfilename. This assumes that you put the file at the root of the Magento installation. If you did not place the file at the root, then you would need to include the sub-directories within the path. So, based on your example it would look something like: https:// example.com/ModuleName/Hello.php.
The index.php would not be part of the path as it’s a FILE as opposed to a folder. Also, the “localhost” reference generally means the computer that you are using (as opposed to the hosting server). The path reference should reflect where your installation is located. If you’re trying to access it via the internet, then it should be set your website URL. You should only use the localhost path if you’re on the computer where you have installed Magento.
I hope that helps to clarify the path problem! Let us know if you require any further assistance.
Regards,
Arnel C.
I’m very disappoointed with this company. This is not what I wanted and I’ve repeatedly asked for a refund and all I get are more emails asking me if I’m sure I want to cancel. YES!! I want to cancel!! I just wish someone would do it!
Hello Anna,
I am sorry to hear you are having issues with cancelling. It is typical to get a confirmation email, but you should not get more than one unless you sent in separate requests to cancel. Simply responding to one of those confirmation requests should be enough to finalize your cancellation. Please let us know if you have any further issues after confirming.
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
