- Phone support was impossible to get through to, the automated answering machine need updating.
- Online support is full of good employees doing their best. Yet, many of them were not technical enough to truly help solve the problem I had. I spent 6 hours with support only to find that someone finally noticed a mis-type in our IP address... after id previously asked a different support person to confirm we had typed it right.
- Page weight is too heavy, all the loading of our site is slow and makes it look tacky.
- The UI of creating the site is nice. But actually getting it published and dealing with the technical side of things was a nightmare. You need better, more clear instructions for setting up a custom domain and for SSL certificates. Instead of just constantly trying to sell me things I don't need.
The staff was very helpful as i am quite dumb to setting up websites, they talked me through everything. Constance and Erin were a true please to speak with, so excited to start my new adventure with their company!
Signed up and was advised I would be getting a custom website. They charged me $800 for a template website, which templates only cost $25 and the pictures they plug-in are anywhere between $3- $10. They are very miss leading and ARE NOT transparent. They express unlimited modifications NOT true! I received maybe 3 modifications per month. I paid them because I did not have time to put into building my own website. It was imported for me to focus on my product. Needless to say, after 3 months of back and forth with their rude modification team, my website never went live, so I cancelled. If your looking for a template website try Godaddy or Spotify. Contract a web developer for around $350, you'll get better results and save money at the same time! Web.com you guys really should be shame of yourself for being so miss leading!
The customer service, technical team over the phone and we chat definitely did not explain my package correctly.
I've been building websites, since 1996. The tools a cumbersome, clumsy, and not as intuitive, compared to Adobe. I'm resorting to experimenting w/copy pasting HTML, to make things easier. Perhaps it is just my learning curve (Ok, Boomer!), but the frustration with inability to simply move, boxes around, is real.
Our church has been building a new website and we desperately needed an update. Richard Thrower was professional, polite, attentive, and understanding. This man deserves a raise! God bless! Awesome service!
Very little explanation upon purchasing service. Had to call back in today. Was told the issue was with godaddy, but turns out there was a step not done on YOUR site to get my emails entered. Stop passing the buck and just help people.
Hi Kym,
Oh no! It's unfortunate to hear this happened with our support team. Thank you for your feedback.

Some bullet point features they sold us on (google coupons), turns out they don't even offer. And took awhile just to call them to find out. And the other features I've already done myself. But I did get 1 helpful observation re: our meta title, so its not a total loss yet. Other than that not quite sure what they really do.
They sold me an advertising on social media, said it was not a contract and could cancel at anytime.
The price was £395 per month, which is steep for a small business like mine. This was early nov 2020, once the ad went live, I wasnt too impressed and emailed the sales lady and web.com to cancel once the. Month had ended.
They have taken 3 x payments £395 and a £480 initial payment in Nov.
I have emailed all the email address I can find and tried calling several times. But with no luck.
They are using my card details to take the money.
Dont take any extra advertising off them. Am furious.

Terrible customer service. They will take your money and half-$#*! deliver on their word. Then, when you call in to complain NOBODY CARES. I've literally had to ask them to transfer me to someone that cares. Their customer service sucks, the SEO department is incompetent, tech support may as well be non existent. But the accounting/billing, those people are good. They never seem to fail when it came to taking the $100 a month out of my bank account. I encourage anyone that cares about their business' web presence to find a different host.
The entire experience has be awful. From day. 1. I called to upgrade a few weeks ago and they disconnected my service. Everything takes 24-48 hours, even resetting my password. I wish I was not locked in for one year. I don't understand how you are in business
Working with Maurice M. And Erin B. Was a pleasure. Both were most helpful and patient while drawing out what my online business is all about and applying it to my Facebook setup. I thank them very much.
I'd like to thank Scott and Erin Barrington of Network Solutions for their professional website development support this afternoon. They did an outstanding job of explaining the website E-Commerce services and especially Erin's interview skills in gathering all the necessary information to establish a well marketed future website for my small scented air filter business. Looking forward to seeing what they've developed in upcoming days. Thanks again to these folks for great work!
I have a fractional website. I cannot adjust the website because I cannot access the site. Sometimes it comes up and other times it does not. I cannot add things or take away items on the website. I needed a 1,2,3 kind of setup that is easy to adjust and update.
Web.com's offerings are dismal compared to other site hosting services. Now for the really bad part - if you want to terminate your account you have to call some toll-free number where no one ever answers. Instead, you hear wait time announcements in which the expected wait time fluctuates wildly! Wait time should get shorter and shorter, not jump around from 10 minutes to 5, 15, 8, 1 hour and 45 minutes, 20 minutes, 2 hours and 30 minutes, etc. That's all the proof you need to know that Web.com is nothing but a scam.
Hi Adele, we apologize for your experience. We understand wait times can be really frustrating especially in 2020. This is something we are currently trying to improve and as you would expect with anything has proven to be more complicated than just raising awareness. That being said we want to reach out and let you know we take our reviews very seriously and would welcome any opportunity to facilitate any support you may need. If you have a moment to spare please send your concern, account identifiers, and reference this review to listen@web.com. We look forward to hearing from you and hope this message finds you well.
Absolutely the worst company I have ever dealt with. If you like being put on hold for over a hour you will love this company. Been trying to change domain address and acquire a new logo-never happened
Hi Connie, we apologize as we did have long hold times during this date and we were doing our best to give everyone the time to address their concerns. We understand this did not go perfectly but we would like the chance to make this right for you. If your concern hasn't been addressed please send some account information and your concern to listen@web.com. We look forward to hearing from you so we may assist you further.
I'm very disappointed with the process to get my site live. When contacting web.com for assistance I've found it's "hit or miss" on whether the rep is knowledgeable enough to help. It usually takes several calls before I find someone who understands the issue and can help. As a result the process is taking much longer than it should.
Avoid these scammers at all cost. They (or their subsidiaries, like Logoyes.com) like to include "free starter kits" or some such bull$#*! to your orders, and then start charging you for them after a while - without any notice, invoice or confirmation, obviously.
Wow! What a great experience with Jordan R. In the development of my new website! I have had several conversations about getting a new business website over the years... but nothing equal to the one I just finished with Web.com's consultant, Jordan R.
It was absolutely the most thorough and detailed interview I could ever imagine on the telephone with such a good communicator. He covered every possible part of the website in detail and more.
Many difficult subjects pertaining to the website were covered to my satisfaction... nothing left out, e.g. the e-commerce store, seo, marketing, social media, videos, photo galleries to mention just a few.
I definitely recommend web.com to anyone needing online presence at the highest level and modest price. I have paid more and gotten less several times over the 40 year career as a dentist. Michael Scott, DDS
Possibly the worst customer service, I personally have ever had, constantly getting passed from person to person, noone knows how to help...you should be ashamed. Finally 1 person helped, but your cs team as a whole...terrible.
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
Answer: Hey there Mira - if you call into our customer support lines at 1-866-655-7679 we'd be happy to help!^MB

Hey Chaunte, we appreciate you taking the time to leave another review. We did research your experience further. During the sales call, there was no discussion of custom or template sites it was more based on timeframe and options for after. We did find coaching opportunities for your sales specialist related to the timeframe of the draft being provided and how the process of switching to hosting works. We see that every time modifications were placed the team did address them and there were multiple, there is not a cap there. We do feel there may have been trouble communicating ideas. The team was trying to understand your ideas but were unable to align with your vision to create the website you had in mind. For that, we apologize we were unable to deliver that blueprint of your business site that you had imagined. We pride ourselves on being able to work with clients to get the website right and we understand we were unable to do that here. We wish you nothing but the best and hope you have found someone that provides you the vision you deserve. We hope you have a great day!
