Excellent in every way, the consultation was very professional, and the attention completely professional and kind
They also go by Lead Stream. They charge you to create a website that is generic that you don't get to keep. They create a "new" phone number that they use to track leads. The problem is that when even your current clients look you up on-line, they use that number and then web.com calls it a lead. Also, tele-marketers call on that "new" number and they are considered leads. After less than 1 week, we asked for our money back. They told us we could have 2 out of the 3 months back. They were going to call us back in 48 hours. They never did. We had to call them back at almost the 1 month mark to find out where our money was and they said they reviewed all of the recorded tapes and they did nothing wrong and they had already spent all of the money and we would get no refund. Finally, they called back and said they did some more reviewing (after they were told we never had the complete setup call nor got a dashboard or anything) and that we would get a full refund. We went a full month without a single lead. They will tell you on the marketing call "how did we get this big without doing something right?" Well maybe, that have helped a lot of people, but you can take people's money and get big without helping them. Furthermore, after 1 month, we were not at the top of the list on Google, Bing, or Yahoo. The phone number ONLY changes to the "new" number on Google. They are affiliated with Google. All I am saying is BEWARE!
I have just requested a website be built for my company. So far I have been treated with respect and costs were explained clearly. I will have my website in a few days. I look forward to what they can do for me.
I have been with register.com for more than 10 years when Web.com bought the company it all went down hill... all they want to do is upsell you and they do not want to help you at all... they make mistakes and your site pays for it by being pulled off line... so much stress you should not have to think about your web site on a daily basis to monitor it to watch it to make sure the hosting service isn't screwing you again. I am looking for a hosting service now to transfer to... worst experience online in my life... terrible terrible service.
Hey William - can you private message us with details of the problems you had with our hosting?^MB
They promised they have experience in healthcare lead development and are so much better than other marketing companies. They promise to deliver viable prospects but after 3 months not a single paying customer. Lots of calls for other health care companies and callers seeking employment.
I knew I was taking a risk with all their promises but they failed. So after my 90 day agreement I called to confirm my account was canceled on the last day to make sure my agreement had ended. Low and behold they said I was a few hours late and they billed me for another month. I did not receive notice that they were going to bill me and they actually billed me on the day after I called. They refused to refund a penny, even though they never notified me that they were going to bill me for another month. Be sure to read the fine print in their contract and don't expect them to deliver on all the sales promises!
Hey Hank - sorry to hear about your frustrations with our billing cycles. If you'd like to private message us some details, we'd be happy to see if we can help!^MB
Didn't help me out charged me money I wasn't aware of not giving me a refund. This is a scam. Didn't help me full of $#*!. Didn't get a job. Went no where good for nothing

As business owner, and former call center Director, for both inbound and outbound Business to Business sales and customer service. Melissa is star player on your team.
The smooth talking salesmen suck you in at one price, then you end up paying a different price - all for a website that looks like it belongs in 1994. I just switched to SetMySite and had them build me a new site. Night and day. Web.com is SNAKE OIL. Don't fall for it. Look at all the reviews on other sites throughout the web before you fork over the credit card.
Hey Felipe - sorry that you weren't happy with the services provided, we'll take the feedback and pass it along.^MB
He is a great asset for your coming. He answered all my questions and explained things thoroughly. He really took the time with me. I would highly recommend him to others if I could.
Very complicated place this internet and local listing providers. Web.com has provided an sense of excellence and their guidance is beneficial to say the least.
Let me first preface this with the fact that I have never been a client and was merely called by the firm and shown a presentation. I was cold called for my law practice by Web.com. I spoke to Sally and spoke with the legal representative Martin. They introduced me to their platform and reviewed my financial numbers for my business. In speaking with them, their data representative went over my finances and the projected return on investment and told me that they could not get the returns to justify the service plan. This is because my business is extremely lean and runs on low expenses and small margins and is rather non-traditional by law firm standards. As a business owner, I was very appreciative of the fact that they were honest about this incompatibility. I cannot comment on their web services but based upon my experience, I have never seen an SEO generation company that was so honest.
Web.com was supposed to generate us new business and they projected us 8-15 new leads a month for their very hefty fee. We got two actual leads in the system, but that was it. We asked if we could receive a refund of something and they said NO WAY! They don't stand behind their sorry promises. Don't waste your time or money!
Hey Colorado - we're very sorry to hear that you didn't receive the results you hoped for, and would like to investigate your experience further. Please send us a private message here on Sitejabber with your URL and we'd be happy to look into it and reach out!^MB
Ben A was super helpful and knowledgeable with re-design of my website and SEO etc.
I would recommend his services to anyone!

I think the process is too rushed. Your sign up and immediately you are talking to a designer. They should provide you with a list of items you are going to need so you can be more prepared. I don't think this is an individual issue but the corporate way they want it done. Both people I have worked with so far have been great. Rich and Teresa, great job.
Abigail had great information and knowledge to help me determine what needs my site would have to have. Since this is my very first website, I was not sure what all would be required for getting it started. She talked me through all of the steps. Rich was also great, who is the consultant I first spoke with to get started and before being put through to Abigail for the initial interview. Great experience.
Karen was most helpful. She gave ideas based on her experience and worked with me rather than impose her ideas.
This was the best interview I had right above this nice lady, I forgot her name but she with the same company. Web.com
Kyle F. Was amazing. Listened well, took notes quickly made suggestions that were pertinent and made my life easy. AWESOME SERVICE, keep up the good work moving forward with hosting / marketing and making changes to site I hope is as efficient, effective and persis!
I cant understand how they are still in business, the worst work I have seen its just junk. It s taken 8wks and three attempts and its still junk.
Please don't waste your money, you will be sorry. They are based in Stockton on Tees UK.
Hey Barry - sorry to hear you feel that way about our services. Would you mind private messaging me or emailing (mbenson@web.com) details regarding your experience so we can attempt to improve?^MB
They talk a big talk, but deliver nothing.
Be very careful, They will bill your credit card without your permission even after you cancel, and will lie and make all kinds of excuses not to give it back... run from this company they will rob you.
Hey Victor - would you mind sending me more info regarding your experience so I can look into it? Feel free to email me directly at mbenson@web.com or private message me via SiteJabber.
Answer: We are located in Australia and trying to make contact is virtually impossible. They don't respond to emails, Calling them is an expensive international phone call, The time zone is completely different so I had to call at some ungodly hour of the morning, they are not friendly and find dealing with customers a big pain. They offer no real value and have no idea of what customer service is.
Answer: I had to ring my credit card company and get them to stop the payment
