I know nothing about setting up a website but web.com has it simplified enough that the average basic educated human could do it. So far so good and affordable.

Not as many features as i thought there would be. Like a way to categorize stuff in your shop.

Tech support is awesome. I feel I've been able to create a nice site. However I wish I had not paid for the quick start site because I could have done it my self.
The work at my registrar site is the hardest part.

Reason I chose this business:

Research, my old hosting company which I was with for 22 years is going out of business.

Phone assistance was good. It took a while but that was on me. Had difficulty getting Filezilla to work but the agent was helpful. He sent me a screenshot of what I should see but wasn't. I had a corrupted download of Filezilla, after reload of a new copy, it worked fine. He was patient as we worked through it. All looks good now.

Reason I chose this business:

Previous host had little / no support and wanted to increase my price to give that support... Web.com improved service / support.

Dont advertise it will cost 10 - 14.99 per month then charge 40. Not okay to lie. And the domain/server kinda sucks especially for 39.99 per month. Wont send appointment verification to my customers. Wont load correctly or take forever... the only reason im keeping it this month is because i got a few sales

Reason I chose this business:

Easy web design

The ability to navigate and customize the website is somewhat challenging. There are sizing and fonts that I would prefer to have ability to get/do that I cannot. Also, the font colors are limited. Otherwise, I like the templates and ease of publishing.

Reason I chose this business:

It was provided through my Zenbusiness purchase but, I would utilize it again independently.

User friendly with many great features. Keep it simple, make it elegant, create drama. Whatever your preference, web.com provides the tools, and if you choose not to be the one to create the website/blog, they have web designers. Checkout the great packages available. Yup! I'm just a customer.

SEO rep was extremely helpful, patient and easily understood. Unlike a two hour ordeal the day before with a group in which there was a communication barrier, unbelievable noise in background and had no idea how to solve my issue.

I cannot access my website builder and no one on the chat seems to be able to help or explain why. Worse, I've just discovered I cannot access my business's email, and I am unable to set it up because the Hosting option seems to be timing out every time I attempt to do so. As is, I'm seriously considering calling Web.com a write-off and buying a new domain name. The only thing stopping me right now is I have business cards printed with my email address (which worked_fine_ at my other hosting company).

The platform is finicky. We have experienced a number of glitches and obstacles. I'm not a fan.

It appeared to be a quick and easy solution to our need for a website.

I've been waiting for months for the tech team to transfer my domain from GoDaddy to Web.com. I've also opened up numerous tickets with the company all telling me that it'll only take a few days or they had to transfer the issue up to a different department just for me still to not have any answers or solution. I ended up having to purchase a 2nd domain to troubleshoot my own issue. This was extremely frustrating...

Beside that though, I think the web building software is sufficient in doing everything I needed done.

Reason I chose this business:

I was looking for an Ai powered web designer and google brought you up high in the search ranking. However after I purchased your package I realized it wasn't actually what was advertised and ended up designing it myself.

I am frustrated that I have paid so much money to design a mobile friendly website for our new business. After a month of back and forth trying to fix simple issues (a logo that is readable, and odd text wrapping), I am still no closer to my goal. I have submitted several revision requests, most of which have gone unanswered. Designer tells me that it is a known issue with their design software. What really gets me is that Web.com is soliciting more money from me for their "website analysis" to make my site mobile friendly-they gave it a score of 55. This business practice is offensive. I shouldn't have to spend more to get exactly what I asked for in the beginning. The software should be able to handle a mobile friendly site...to indicate that it can't is scummy marketing.

Do not under any circumstances use this service when there are better providers out there. Especially for WordPress, they are trash. Their service and support are both garbage, I would not recommend this provider to my worst enemy. They will nickel and dime you for services others provide for free, stay away! Also, their chat support is full of Bots and canned AI responses, not great for tech support.

Tip for consumers:
Do not buy WordPress here, their service is trash, and the support is worse. It's all bots and canned responses. It's the worst value for hosting I've ever seen.
