E-mail

Please e-mail support@ovh.ie for e-mail support. Our customer support staff will deal with your request as quickly as possible.

To help us find a solution to your problem

• Subject :: Create a brief subject that summarises the problem. For example:

• Text :: Be brief, 3-4 lines. It is not necessary to write a long entry. Paradoxically, the longer the e-mail, the longer it will take to deal with. It is also preferred that you tell us precisely the error messages you have encountered. Please do not forget to leave your client ID (i.e. NicHandle).

Examples:





Please do not forget to include the following information when contacting support:

• your domain name
• your site
• your OVH plan
• your login
• your dedicated server
• URL of the site that does not work
• If you have a connection problem, your internet service provider information and the IP address of your connection.

Never send us any passwords

Don't forget the error messages. It is most helpful if you inform us of any error messages you encounter. Do not summarise the problem, Do not describe the problem. The error message is sufficient. We know the programs and exactly which errors may occur. If you have an error message, then there should be a simple and fast resolution. If you summarise or describe the problem without telling us the error message, we will have to guess at which error message you have encountered.





Bad Examples: Do not do the following

What is wrong with this e-mail?

• It's missing
  • the domain name
  • the OVH plan
  • the login
  • the URL to the site or problem
• This e-mail is not effective (the client provides unnecessary information which is of no use in resolving the problem).
• The client has not given their error message. They have only said that "it does not work anymore".

In this situation, it is impossible to respond in a fast manner. We would have to reply to the client and ask them for all the necessary missing information. As a result, the client loses valuable time before reaching a solution to the problem.

If the problem cannot be fixed over the phone, a technician will take your information and call you back momentarily.
