Your agent, Sy (Cy), was very helpful in adding a second website to our account. In a matter of minutes he installed Wordpress and the SSL certificate; very professional

I'm sincerely happy that you offer live real time and real person support. I am a victim of identity theft and if everything were left to AI I probably would not have had a positive outcome. Than you for offering real people who can get o the phone. In this age of identity theft it will be even more important than ever.

Expensive but reliable and stable service. Confusing pricing for all the add-ons like domain privacy.

Three times in the last year, the server was full and I could not upload files. The first two times, the tech support person was knowledgeable and the problem was solved within 2 hours. This last time, however, it took three calls to tech support and 24 hours to solve the problem.

Responses were a little slow but the rep did resolve my issue. He also let me know the possibly reasons why the issue happened and how he fixed it which.
