“Help is available 24/7”

Help is available 24/7. The site design is 9 out of 10. I have been with another web designer, and Web.com is more user friendly. I would like to see availability for my email on the left side menu when I first sign in.

I am enjoying the experience so far. Had a couple major issues I would have liked to have been resolved quickerand without having to keep calling back. I get kicked out of the system occasionally. Easy to use, user friendly.

I think the site builder tool is too inflexible and not very easy to use. I need an "undo" button, so accidental deletions can be backed out.

UI is hard to use - non intuitive to find the cost of upcoming renewals; chat tech support was only so-so

Reason I chose this business:

Because you bought the domain host I used to use and I've been too lazy to migrate off. I would never use your service if I were choosing.

There is no help desk ticketing system, only chat. Very inconvenient and time consuming to get help with an issue. Also I been unable to get a transfer auth code for a domain overe the course of a couple of months of trying. I have chatted with two different support agents who assured me the code would be emailed to me and I still haven't gotten it.

Reason I chose this business:

My predecessor registered some domains here when it was called Dotster and I have been gradually transferring them out to another registrar because of the horrible service and user interface.

Hi, I have had an issue that I reported/put in a ticket for over a month ago that still hasn't been resolved. I have not been able to put my site live and it's extremely frustrating. I get constant noreply emails saying that the issue still hasn't been resolved. I'm trying to put my personal portfolio site up so I can find a job, and this has been a major setback.

The chatbot was effective in answering my questions. I offer 5 stars however, unfamiliarity with the new interface slowed me down a bit. Overall I like it.

Ultimately, I ended up with a pretty good looking website. But the customer service platform desperately needs some help. It's easy to reach out and receive several options of support, but I don't think any of them communicate with each other. The procedures you must follow aren't very clear, and the only reason I received any calls was to sell me something else. Inserting the SSL isn't something I excel at through these guys, and it took over a month of messaging and phone calls to get it fixed. I don't remember having this problem with other hosts. If you're experienced at this, this is probably what you're looking for. But for me, I was looking for a little more guidance and understanding with what was going on behind the scenes while they were preparing my page. The 3 stars is for my personal experience that ultimately led to an expected outcome, not for the work they did. They probably do fine work if you already know about modernized web hosting. Again, It was expensive, I was charged for three SSLs, and no one seemed to be able to fix the security issue until they called me to ask how they did and I pointed it out to them. That should be the first thing they check, in my opinion. I'm going to keep the page because I like it. Thank you.

Absolute rubbish. On the rare occasions their website/management tools actually let you in and work, they then don't do the things you want. Or worse say they have and you find out a week later it didn't work, so then you have spend an hour trying to get back into the thing to try again. The prices are way too high, and you would think by now they would learn, but no.

Reason I chose this business:

Because the stuff I tried to do before didn't work so once again I have to try again.

Email isn't working, google workspace never let me even try to use it without trying to extort more money out of me to use it so I lost money on that because a refund was refused. And customer service can only help with issues about half the time. Also, I tried to say 2 stars but then I couldn't leave a review at all. So that's shady

Reason I chose this business:

Pricing and less webpage downtime than other platforms.

I've given you plenty of feedback already. Your website is the pits. It's completely buggy and not intuitive. I've wasted a lot of time on your site.

Reason I chose this business:

Because you sent me an e-mail that I must verify my WHOIS data, something I've already done a few weeks ago. You really get on my nerves. I will investigate whether I can move my domains to another provider.

I contacted support 3 times to have a domain name that I sold removed from my account. The issue still has not been resolved. I will end up transferring my domains to a different registrar.

Very unknowledgeable support staff. I contacted support 3 times for an issue that has yet to be resolved. I asked to speak to a supervisor twice and was refused.

Reason I chose this business:

I was a satisfied Dotster.com customer and they were bought out by web.com.
