“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.

Services that were the reason I signed up with my domain are going away.

Reason I chose this business:

Because I had no choice.

I tried to get help with my email through chat. It took ridiculously long for the person to answer any question. They weren't able to help me and suddenly I get a message that the chat ended! I never got help. Customer service is terrible!

Horrible experience thus far. Support cannot resolve issues related to supported domains when needed. Every support has been escalated and takes over 72 hours to resolve.

Since the change from Dotster.com to web.com I have been nothing but disappointed in the customer service with the exception of my assistance from Tim Chapman who was incredibly helpful. Aside from this though, I have dealt with nothing but horrible service, terribly long wait times on chat and incredibly difficult conversations with people that VERY obviously do not speak English as their primary language. At one point I was asking someone a question about a MySQL database and was referred to help about a SQL database. I thought the people on chat were supposed to be technically knowledgeable in the products that they support. Is this not the case? Either way, I pay money for a service every month and have been for years, so I expect that the people on chat support NEED to at least have knowledge about the products that they are supporting, like the web.com site and functionality. I am seriously considering changing my service and transferring my domains to a different host, which is very frustrating after so many years with no issues with Dotster.

Reason I chose this business:

Because I used to have service with Dotster.com and it was transferred

The transition from Dotster has been a mess. Billing issues, stupid website layout, support people that don't seem to know what's going on. I'm probably leaving to another registrar.

Reason I chose this business:

It's not by choice.

Terrible transition, completely incompetent. Now they are removing features like free email forwarding.

The person tried their best, but couldn't make up for a crappy outfit.

Reason I chose this business:

I did not, I was kidnapped when they acquired dotster.

My site was down and your support for me was abysmal. Basically non-existent. Reps listened well but provided solutions that didn't make sense and didn't work when I tried them.

This thing keeps popping up saying it wants me to tell you what I think of your site. I was trying to get something done, and this pops up every time I go to the page. It's super annoying.

Reason I chose this business:

I didn't. I was a dotster client and you guys bought them. I had not say in this at all.

Too much unnecessary email and a price increase that was way too much to my liking for the service since the merge with Domain.com where I had my sites for the past 10+ years

Reason I chose this business:

To move my domains away
