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.

Have asked multiple times for a change to my site, my toll free number which i bought from ya'll is no longer valid due to ya'll discontinuing the service, that sucks by itself, but having an invalid phone number on my website, when 99% of my business comes through my website is very bad for business!

After several phone calls with their customer "service" employees, I was so frustrated that even if they were getting results, I would have cancelled my service.

If I had been seeing any improvement in my rankings at all, I would have stayed with them, but instead, my rankings went down two notches on Google. Of course, when talking to them, I was told it was because I wasn't doing my part.

My last two conversations lasted longer than one hour each - not only did I waste my money, but also wasted my time.

They're favorite phrase is "You don't understand." I politely explained to them that I know more about my particular business than they do, and saying "I don't understand" is just another way for their employee to tell me I'm stupid.

They're right. I was stupid to sign up for their program.

Dear Gizer,

We are sorry to hear that you did not get the results you were expecting with Ignite, which is not the norm. There are so many variables involved in SEO today, including elements in and outside of our control. Of course, it is also an ongoing process that requires continual tracking and adjustment over time to realize the greatest results. We hope that your results will continue to improve, whether working with us or someone else. If you do still have any open issues, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Sincerely,
Executive Support

My husband paid $250 to have web.com create a Facebook page for his personal training business. Not only did it look like crap but they did not do what they promised to. They were supposed to send out automatic reoccurring posts, which NEVER happened. He tried to get a refund numerous times and not one person acted like they even cared... this is a SCAM! Terrible company, after looking at all the horrible reviews I'm sure they won't last too long.

Had a wonderful experience with Karen from web.com. We went through a comprehensive list of categories that would effect our overall website and online presences. The collaboration between our business and website team was an important step to our overall success. Karen followed through on everything we spoke about. The customer service given was five stars.

Frist class professional. Extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, who's willing to go the extra mile to accomplish my needs, desired expectations and goals.

I would ask, may I work with him only moving forward? I'm picky and he is the 'it' factor. Take care of this man as he more than represents Web.com but yet a human being with outstanding character and integrity.

Today Randy from web.com helped me to resolve two separate issues.
I found him to be professional, courteous and highly effective in his position.
Our call was dropped before i could take the web.com customer survey.
Sorry about that Randy., i hope that this has some value.
You are a true asset to your employer.

Thanks., Bruno Sblano.

I was hired by a client who had purchased the Web.com Site Builder to build a DIY website. They quickly realized they couldn't get results from the software, so they hired me (web guy) to take a stab at it. I experienced nothing but frustration and poor results. The tools/templates are poorly designed and simply don't work as they should. Things as simple as styling text SIMPLY DON'T WORK <<< this is not an exaggeration and that's just a basic example. After spending more time than I should've and more than one session with unhelpful "coaches"... and then being escalated to "tech support" and receiving equally bad service (unbelievable!), I gave up and encouraged the client to cancel their service. They did cancel but were unable to get a refund on their $325 purchase and have nothing to show for it in the end. It's disgraceful what Web.com is selling. My advice -- do NOT give your money to this terrible company.

I had a very nice experience speaking with my web consultant. He was knowledgeable and professional and asked me all the right marketing questions. Marketing has never been my strong suit, so relying on professionals to help me with build, maintain and market my website is a very great relief. I am looking forward to reviewing the first draft of my new website.

Before entering into this contract I explained that my client base was graphic designers and marketing agencies, therefore a better than "standard" level of design was needed. Contract was signed, payment was made, and I then provided the copy, images and an example of the site I wanted. The initial proof sent was so different from what I had requested, fonts didn't match, it did not follow the example at all - simply put, it was awful. I was then told you couldn't handle the type of site I wanted, even if I paid extra. I now am paying you monthly for a site that isn't live. I would never recommend your design services to anyone.

The site needed to be trashed and started from scratch because the framing picked did not match what I wanted. Instead, two different team members tried to fix it, both times requiring that I stay on the phone with them while they made changes. My mistake - I assumed that you would be able to design this site without my having to stay on the phone with the designer as they try to rework the original site as I do not have time during the day to spend hours on the phone with your designer.
I have given up. This was a complete waste of money and my time.

Reason I chose this business:

Because you are part of Network Solutions, where my domain is registered.

Web.com, as so many businesses today, has complete disregard for their customers and even less interested in actually providing a quality product and service at a competitive cost or value for their customers.
Firstly, they lie about how much they charge. They quote one price and then add ICANN fees separately. They then add approximately 30% additional cost in the form of their line itemed out SSL fees.
Their 'chat' representatives not only cannot apparently understand or speak English, they simply lie and then, when you finally get them to start doing their job, they stop... refer you to their 800 helpline, and disconnect.
I have two sites with them and am looking for another hosting alternative. I would NOT recommend this useless company to anyone.

Use a different provider

We paid $17,000 for hosting, FB and SEO on 8/29/19 and until yesterday, 12/3/2019 absolutely nothing had been done. Whatever they did yesterday has caused our website to be down and we cannot send or receive emails. When trying to call them we are put on hold for a minimum of 1 hour every single time. When someone finally answers we're put on hold again. I wouldn't use this company it was free!

$2.95 a month for a site, with hosting? And these "business" people are complaining! What do you expect! Like the schmucks who complain that there is not enough beef in their 60 cent taco. As the owner of a successful development, marketing and hosting company, I say "thank you" web.com for absorbing these something-for-nothing "customers."

Amber A's professional and delightful conversation at the Exhibit Hall of the Heckerling Institute's legal conference in Orlando was perfect. She raised salient questions that caused me to realize my law firm could benefit from Web.com's services. She answered my questions and I agreed to try this company's help with my website.
During my follow up phone call to provide information for Web.com to start to work, Robin L was also very professional, very articulate and very patient with me. She spent all the time it took, making excellent and savvy recommendations and working with me to wordsmith some of the text I had drafted. I am a well satisfied customer!

It took me 2 days to try to create and start my account initially because of system issues and not allowing payment. I've tried multiple times to get my website secure and have received emails stating it has been fixed, however after 2 weeks my website still reflects as non-secure. Last time I tried to update the website and publish it, the program crashed my entire browser.

1- Within hours of signing up with web.com, I began getting marketing calls from 3rd party companies for setting up my website. 2- If you don't cancel by the 3rd day, they won't refund a penny no matter even if you paid for a year in advance. 3- Their website editor is the old weebly editor from 15 years ago. It still has the same bugs!

The help on customer service is slow. There are features which were advertised for my theme but I can't get them up, so instead of video clips, I'm having to just do photos. I'm not real happy about this but I've already invested in waay to many hours to stop now. I will have to rely on my own intelligence instead of doing the chat thing that takes forever and many times does not give me the answers I am looking for.
