Customer service rep was helpful in resolving my issue. I had called a few times and had gotten no results. Then in the last call, the agent was able to fully resolve my issue.

My site has 404 errors in it but I do not use the site on a daily basis. At some point I should speak with a rep.

At first it was very difficult to have my issues addressed. My site was lost and I initially told it could be restored. But after two more calls to customer service, it was finally explained that because it was not backed up, I had lost my original site. But I was able to still have my domain name and have since rebuilt my website.

I put the site together myself
September 30, 2024

I put the site together myself. I need to update it, but it's a bit more expensive than I can afford at this time - at least much beyond the monthly fee.

The site is live but some parts that I had hidden now are visible. It is not exactly how it use to be.

The technical team responded my application quickly. Their skill and knowledge are very rich. They gave us very useful suggestions to check the problem and trouble shooting at my end. They solved the problem quickly. My website working well right now. Thank you for all effort on solving the issue of website with websites being intermittently down. My business is almost not affected by this issue.
Any way, thank you for all
