Your servers went down taking all my websites offline for several hours. I had no indication that the issue was on your end until I submitted a ticket. I would expect that when there is an issue such as this that you would communicate it to me rather than me having to seek you out after I discovered the problem. At the very least a portal that provides service status that I can check at any time would have been helpful.

The free Website Builder enabled me to create a site that is much better than one I might have built by writing code myself in HTML, etc. - 10 times better. That saved me so many hours of work, and it was fun to use. And the low price for a 3-year subscription was very helpful as well.
