While some users have had positive interactions with knowledgeable representatives, others reported frustrations with unresolved issues and inadequate communication. Despite these challenges, a significant number of long-term customers express satisfaction and loyalty, indicating that while improvements in customer service are needed, the core offerings are generally well-regarded.

I am not able to log in to wordpress, nor even attempt to. My new domain is not working at all and it cannot be accessed. My attempts to resolve via live chat have been unsuccessful with no assistance provided and then the chat being closed "due to inactivity" while I waited for a response after providing the domain that was not working to the assistant.

I migrated three sites to you last spring - and they disappeared. I have spent hours trying to figure out what the problem is. I finally learned that I needed to change the nameservers - which I finally was able to do two days ago - and they're still not working. Obviously should have never migrated over the sites

I heard it was a good and easy to use site. So far it hasn't been so. But, I think that's as much my fault as anyone else's. Still, it's frustrating.

When I signed in, my user name was not accepted. I tried typing it manually and not a saved version. I tried the portal and the website builder. Nothing worked, but I used the same user name, my email, every time. Your customer service rep, Sushma, could not understand that the user name was the issue and reset the password unnecessarily, causing me more issues. This has not been an acceptable start.
