Database error support

Mention that Carlos Cristian, I am very grateful for his attention and help, after 5 advisers before him, if he could help me with my problem and solve all my doubts.

The tools I need are all here. There is a learning curve, for sure. I will eventually get my website to look the way I want it to look.

Support

Whenever I have a question or concern I can rely on a very understanding person will help me and patiently listen to what I think my needs are. Often they help me come up with a solution I hadn't thought of as an issue. I have always gotten my problem resolved and for this I am very grateful.

Hi guys,
After a couple of inquiries and unfulfilled call backs, finally Nikshep was able to provide the support I desired. He's a star! Two of my sites were compromised (critical site errors), and everybody else told me it was malware (?) which wasn't true. So Nikshep managed to repair both sites without even disabling the plugins. Well done! I hope this review gets to his manager, I only have the best experience with him, please consider to promote Nikshep further.

Jericho was such a nice guy who knew how to solve the issues I was facing so far with multiple sites. He fixed every one of those in a few minutes. I usually Hostgator's support is good but damn this item, it was awesome. When you're facing an issue, having expert support is like a really solid helping hand that supports you in all hurdles.

Cris and CodeSource Great Service
January 9, 2023

Cris was wonderful on the phone and very helpful. She made me feel comfortable and was quite professional. I hope everyone can be as good as Cris.

Early I left an online review that was not positive for another online rep and it was perhaps too hasty. That rep offered me the CodeGuard which is what I needed (and later purchased with Cris's help), but I did not understand what the product was and grew impatient. I apologize and feel my low rating was unfair. That rep knew exactly what i need, only again, I didn't understand the name.
