Create a support ticket in the Cloud Control Panel

The best way to communicate with Rackspace support technicians is to create a
support ticket in the Cloud Control Panel.
This method enables you to copy and paste, or attach, cumbersome information,
such as traceroutes and error log entries, directly into the ticket.

Create a new support ticket

You can create a support ticket by:

1. Log in to the Cloud Control Panel.
2. Select TICKETS > Create Ticket.
3. Select a broad product category, such as Cloud Servers or Cloud Databases.
4. Select a more specific category that narrows down the type of problem that
   you are experiencing, such as General Support or API.
5. In the Details section, enter a subject and message that describes your
   issue. You can also attach a file of up to 20 MB in size to the ticket.
6. After you have entered information into all of the fields, click Submit Ticket.
