For the initial pricing but I have had a real hard time getting domains and things set up over the past day since creating my account. Many support chats as well unfortunately. Never had to do that with Bluehost...

It was reasonably priced and gave good service for the first 3 years. However, as I'm about to renew it is charging 3 times more for three years. Sadly, it is too much. So, I have to leave. However, I really liked the service.

I wish I could see my live chat history. I would wait for 30 minutes for a response, step away from my computer for 2 minutes and the chat ended and I couldn't see the technician's response.

It was super easy to set up and I had a great pagespeed for the first few days but it has been slowing down as I add more content.

Pretty simple process for someone who hasn't done this before. Remember to be patient for your site to come online (day or two).
