“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.

Terrible... nothing works the first time. And support people are not very good at helping.

Reason I chose this business:

I was a client of mydomain...

Too much back and forth with customer service representatives.

Reason I chose this business:

I didn't choose it today. I chose because many said it was easy, but not for me.

Customer service is horrible. I would rather talk to Comcast.

Reason I chose this business:

Because you all offered phone support, but it turns out your phone support is the worst.

The paid forwarding email has forced me into a new email service called "Professional Email". Unfortunately it doesn't work, and no one on tech support understands how to fix it. You will be losing a customer as soon as I can transfer to a different service.

Your new web site and services suck!
I am unable to get to your web bases email tool and you lost my email services within my account. The best thing I got from support is try again later?

Reason I chose this business:

I have been a long term customer of mydomains for 20+ years and it's predecessor company.

I have had nothing but difficulties since the migration to Web.com. I can not speak to anyone who is actually working on my domain. Your technical team has brought my site down twice since May 22. Today it is still down and I can not accept payments. If I could leave less than a 1 star I would.

Reason I chose this business:

To begin to transfer my domains away from your company due to all issues previously stated.

Poor service/support. Wasted my valuable time. Dotster stopped telephone support and after the web.com acquisition, i was never notified that telephone support was available. Also, email servers were frequently blocked by google and Microsoft.

chatted with support for over an hour for 5 minutes of work.

Reason I chose this business:

20 years ago, dotster had great service - no longer!

Chat session was a joke. I spent an hour trying to explain the Mydomain site was down. My first message was "The Mydomain site and email are down". The reply I got was "Your website is wotking". After 1 hour of attempting to communicate I got a chat "I just got a ticket 5 minutes ago that the Mydomain site is down. I copied and pasted my 1st line in chat "The Mydomain site and email are down" and got the reponse "Your Website is up" I wasted an hour.

Reason I chose this business:

No Choice, had to get my emails

Charging rates higher than advertised on your website means I have to transfer away all my domains.

Reason I chose this business:

You purchased Dotster, and unfortunately inherited their poor decisions and management.

I have had an SSL issue since apparently they switched from MyDomain to Web.com. My website has been unable to be reached due to this SSL issue. I have done everything that was asked to be completed. Certificate was reissued after several tries, but it will not upload to the site. I keep getting an email every 24-48 hours stating they are still working on it, but they do not have a resolution. This is completely unacceptable.

no one has been able to fix the issue

Reason I chose this business:

Have been a customer for many years and never had an issue until now! :(

I have already prepaid for services on my domains through MyDomain.com through 2029, and yet you are discontinuing and planning to charge me for services that were included with my initial contract and payment. This will not only be debilitating, it is also an unethical and generally dicy practice. Web.com needs to honor existing contracts for the duration.

Reason I chose this business:

I did not choose web.com.l I chose MyDomain.com over two decades ago and have been a loyal customer because they honored their contracts. You are dismantling what I have already paid for and telling me I have to purchase features that were the very reason that I prepaid for so many years! You need to continue services for legacy members at least until the duration of their existing contracts!

THE COMPANY IS BASED OUT OF THE PHILIPPINES WHERE OPERATORS ARE TRAINED TO BE VERY POLITE, BUT ARE UNABLE TO HELP. CREATE WORK TICKETS THAT GO NOWHERE TO NO ONE WHO CAN HELP. THEY ARE QUICK TO TAKE YOUR MONEY THEN PROVIDE NO SERVICE OR HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT. WHEN YOUR RENEWAL PAYMENT IS DUE, THEIR CARD PROCESSING DOESN'T WORK (THEY SAID THEIR HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MANY CLIENTS CARDS) SO THEY CANCEL YOUR WEBSITE AND ITS LOST. BEWARE!

Tip for consumers:
TOTALLY INCOMPETENT

I get the run around. And my site still does not work. They offered free ssl. It still is not there. I have called 8 times and still nothing is working. And now my site will not load correctly.

Reason I chose this business:

I thought it was like WEBS.com but it is not and that service sold to Wix.com. I guess i will need to go to them
