I dealt with Josh initially, to help me determine what my actual business needs were. Next I was transferred to Marty who spent over an hour on the phone with my partner and I. Both Josh and Marty asked us questions about our business, plans, objectives and services. In some instances they were asking us questions that we ourselves had not thought to ask, but that were highly relevant to our business. At one point the call got disconnected, and within less than 1 minute we received a call-back from the same person who was helping us in the first place. Attention to detail was evident, and it became obvious that these guys actually cared to deliver a product that would be an asset to our business, and would help us grow.
Having a third party asking tough questions about our business was eye-opening, and it reminded us that (in business) it sometimes pays to pause and find out "what you don't know". Extremely professional throughout.
Too many spam emails from web.com with no option to unsubscribe. Also, no option to turn off auto renew of SSL and it does not appear in renewal screen. Was on chat for nearly 2 hours to turn that off.
I get the run around. And my site still does not work. They offered free ssl. It still is not there. I have called 8 times and still nothing is working. And now my site will not load correctly.
Very helpful site builder except for adding picture images along with text. I have been using an app for imaging then uploading as too time consuming any other way.
It is very irritating to get an email saying "it's time to renew" and it doesn't say which domain this pertains to. I end up having to login to see which domain you are talking about. - PLEASE PUT THE DOMAINS in the emails you send so I can decide if I need to attend to them.,
BEWARE! There's no way to cancel your account through your online profile, or remove payment information. I tried to cancel through the chat online and confirm all my account info only to be told I had to call the loyalty team during call hours to stop payment for a service I don't use. Stay away at all costs! Wasted quite a bit of money due to this inconvenience. Great way to make money, terrible way to do business and build trust. Would never consider doing business with them again and warn everyone I know not to use them.
Hi Aaron,
We are so sorry to hear this. We do want to wish you luck on your future hosting endeavors.

Web.com provided me with a satisfactory range of services for my website needs. While the website builder was easy to use, customer support and billing practices could be improved. Overall, it offered decent options for establishing an online presence.
There are minor issues all the times. DNS, email, website take long time to get updated, complicated process if i want.com and.ca ending. Even customer support give me two different answers to the same questions.
Letting them take care of this project will save me more than 10 hours a month. (smiling)
The team is very thorough and I am excited ed to see what they come up with.
It took a while to go through my website I made and make sure they knew who WE are.
There is apparently an error where I'm unable to use WordPress that's been purchased. The support article doesn't match what I see on my Dashboard. I put in a ticket a week ago and haven't heard back.
Alas, we did not go on this page until AFTER our negative experience with Web.com. We were promised a rate of $2.95 -- and since we designed the website ourselves, there was little beyond domain hosting that they provided. Month #2 our rate jumped to $32.95 -- without warning or explanation. Beware. These folks are fraudulent.

I signed up 6 weeks ago on a 3 month program at over $1,000.00 per month. I've received 3 or 4 clicks, all of which fail to produce a useful lead, let alone new business. The first day I agreed to to sign they spent 25% my monthly ad budget just to force through a quick lead (which was not useful). This was before I even had a set up meeting with their staff to define the leads I was interested in. When I log into my account management page I see that there is literally nothing there for me to manage, no mechanism to change my contact or billing information. I'm sure they don't want you having access to your billing information because they know you'll delete it. I can't get same day customer service in my introductory period without calling a generic phone number. They refuse to give you direct contact info for your assigned account manager. I can hardly imagine how bad it gets later. Stay away.
Hey Eric - we're sorry to hear you didn't receive the results you expected, and would be happy to investigate what went wrong. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at mbenson@web.com, and I'd be happy to assist.^MB
I had two domains transferred over, when I initially signed up I was never told any stipulations on transferring a domain. It was only when Web.com couldn't transfer them correctly I was told about a waiting period that was never mentioned in our initial conversation. I am not pleased at all that my account was charged several times for the same thing and it seems that no matter whom I talk to no one understands.
I don't normally write reviews, but Frances H, a web consultant is truly gifted, walked me through every stage of the process, helped me to clarify my company's strengths, and deserves to be recognized. Awesome.
Scott M., thank you for your kind review; we are happy to pass along your comments to the team here at Web.com! If you ever need anything else from us, please feel free to give us a call. Have an awesome day!^LS
I was unhappy with editing. Font, colors sizing inconsistent. Help line suggested clearing cookies and cache. Much better. Also need to use only Chrome browser.
Would be nice if I could maintain format when copy and paste from document.
Help person said improved edit out in few months. Hope more like Microsoft font edits.
I cannot reach customer services for technical creative site building durning PST hours after 4, I work a 8-5 job. And your help is not available weekends. It mAkes getting my website up tricky.
Otherwise I am mostly happy.

My credit card was changed, so web.com dropped my web site after 8 years without notice! It has been down for a couple of weeks while tech "support" gives me a run-around about getting it back up. Promising to reply within one business day for the past week +. Now I have given up on support and am trying to recreate my site on the new platform. Stay tuned --- don't know if this is even going to work.
Hey James,
We will be reaching out soon!

I have purchased the private website setting so my contact info is hidden but it has been sent out to who knows what lists. I am getting 20-30 calls a day from people trying to sell me web-relate services. I called web.com agent and there is nothing they could do. Incredibly frustrating.
Josh was really knowledgeable and helpful. He easily lead us through everything necessary. I would recommend Network Solutions to anyone and if you are lucky enough to get Josh they will have an excellent experience such as we had.
The web design interface is extremely clunky. I honestly did not think it could be worse but then they did a major redesign and it was actually worse. Pictures have to be added one by one in a multi click process, rotating 90 or 180 degrees nearly impossible, add blog button works about half the time. Too many issues to name them all.
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
