one of the most common questions we get asked in the support department.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cHow do I submit a support ticket and associate a service item?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There will no doubt be a time where you need to contact us, whether it be for sales, support or just to ask a question.\u00a0 While you can contact us by email, we recommend that you log into our account management portal to submit a ticket.\u00a0 Submitting a ticket from within the portal means you can associate the service item in question which helps us to quickly and easily identify the service that you\u2019re contacting us about.\u00a0<br><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>First of all, you will need to go to the IOFlood account management portal and log into your IOFlood account by putting in your username and password, just like our friend Max here did.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
