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.

Was with GoDaddy for last 20 years, but ever increasing costs led me here - SSL and email included in hosting costs were the deciding factors.

I find it very confusing to use you as a gateway to Wordpress. When I went to install Wordpress it said it was already installed. Also this Softaculous site is ridiculous. Keep it simple will ya!
