It was easy to use before, now I waited for hours for my domain to work and now it is still not working?! The inconvenience sucks.

Consistently in the top 10
February 20, 2022

Consistently in the top 10. A little clunky to navigate (for a novice like me) and lots of "added features" that cost extra...
Unable to log in a couple of hours ago as well, hence the 3 stars so far
