The techs do not listen
May 25, 2022

The techs do not listen. Kept sending confirmation emails to a mail box that was not accessible. This caused our site and email to be down for 9 days.

Extremely poor experience
May 22, 2022

Extremely poor experience. I had to contact at least 10 times to do a simple job that could have been done in one go. Many of the support providers did not know what they are doing. I have been misguided many times.

If tech support had known that my website is HTML, not appropriate for the PHP software upgrade for which I received a notice, then it would have saved a lot of time. I was not able to get my website email and that problem resolved itself.
