I was disappointed to learn that the SiteLock subscription I purchased did not cover fixing the security issues which it found. Instead, it suggested I hire someone else to do it, which I did. Very disappointed.

It was an expensive service
August 1, 2024

It was an expensive service. Last year, you decided to increase the price for way over the inflation rate. But the most disappointing thing was how the tech support worsened significantly, and I did lots of them. The pages were all way too slow, and that was not my programming, because I managed to migrate them to other hosting service and suddenly they were way faster.
So I decided to move to Hostinger, which was easier, better, faster, cheaper and with better tech support.

I'm not very tech savvy and in the beginning I had some misunderstanding/small issues with the hosting service but tech support was able to help me remedy the issues and get my website working properly. Service has been great since.
