1. Service Direction / Introduction
This guide explains how to send a complete and effective support request to iCoreHosting through Email or WhatsApp. A clear and complete message allows our support team to diagnose and resolve your issue much faster.
2. Service Transparency
- The first and most important thing you MUST provide is your Email Address, Domain Name, or Server IP Address. This allows our support team to identify your service immediately.
- Email is our primary support channel because it automatically generates tickets and multiple staff can respond.
- WhatsApp is a secondary support channel, convenient but may have slower response depending on staff availability.
- Sending one complete message helps avoid delays and repeated clarification.
3. Step-by-Step Guide
What to Include in Your Message:
- Your Email Address, Domain Name, or Server IP Address (MOST IMPORTANT)
This must be the first thing you provide. Without this, our support team cannot identify your service and response time will be delayed.
Example: mycompany.com, [email protected], or 103.6.xxx.xxx - Clear Subject or Issue Summary
Example: “Email not sending from [email protected]”
Avoid: “Urgent”, “Help”, “Problem!!!” - Detailed Description of the Problem
- What exactly is happening?
- When did the issue start?
- Any error message? (Screenshot if available)
- What You Have Tried
Tell us if you restarted modem, cleared cache, changed DNS, etc. - Your Expected Outcome
Example: “Please help restore my website” / “I want to reset my email password.”
Sample Email Format
Subject: Cannot Access Website – mycompany.com
Hi Support,
I cannot access my website mycompany.com since this morning.
- Hosting Plan: GX100GB
- Last action: Updated nameservers yesterday
- Error: “This site can’t be reached”
- Tried: DNS flush, tested on mobile
Please help to check and restore website access.
Thanks,
John

Sample WhatsApp Format
Hi Support, I’m having an issue with my domain mycompany.com.
It stopped working after I changed the nameservers yesterday.
Error: Website not loading
Tried: DNS flush, mobile data
Plan: GX100GB
Please help check.
4. Common Mistakes
- Not providing domain, email address, or IP address (this is the #1 cause of delay)
- Sending many short messages one by one
- Sending the same issue in multiple channels (email + WhatsApp)
- Only writing “urgent” without details
- Reporting an issue without explaining previous actions (DNS changes, password reset, migration, etc.)
5. Responsibility Breakdown
iCoreHosting Responsibilities
- Diagnose and assist based on information provided
- Check server, network, hosting panel, DNS, email routing
- Provide guidance or perform fixes according to service scope
Client Responsibilities
- Provide accurate and complete information
- Confirm recent updates (DNS, nameserver, password changes)
- Ensure only authorized persons contact support
- Maintain login credentials and domain ownership access
6. Support Information
Email (Primary): [email protected]
WhatsApp: https://www.icore.com.my/support
Email is recommended for faster triage because multiple staff can work on your ticket.
7. FAQ
Q: Can I send voice notes?
A: Yes, but please type the key points for clarity and record.
Q: Why is email faster?
A: It creates a support ticket visible to multiple staff.
Q: Can I send the same issue via email and WhatsApp?
A: Not recommended — it slows down investigation.
8. Summary
Always provide your Email Address, Domain Name, or Server IP Address at the start of your message. A complete message helps us support you faster and more efficiently.
9. Use Case
A company updates DNS and their website stops loading. They provide domain, issue details, error message, and last actions taken. Because all information is available up front, our team resolves the issue quickly without multiple follow-ups.
