“I know nothing about setting up a website but web.com...”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I received a good price from them for my website, and now I know why. I had an issue getting my site registered with Google's search engine. I called web.com's tech support for help and was told if I wanted to register my website with any search engines I would have to but another service from them at a monthly cost MUCH higher then the website. So basically they sold me a car with no engine. If I were you, I'd find a reputable company to do business with. Unfortunately I paid 2 years in advance for a website I can't do anything with. It's sad that the law let's companies get away with ripping people off.

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.

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.

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).

I am constantly waiting for extended periods of time to speak to a customer service representative. If I move away from the chat for 60 seconds, then I get cut off. The reason I joined web.com was because they rated so highly on customer service but I am consistently getting terrible service. I don't know if this is because I am in a different time zone in Australia but I'm finding The experience to be extremely frustrating and disappointing and would love a refund on my two months subscription so far

Reason I chose this business:

I chose them because I thought the customer service would be exceptional. I found it to be less than mediocre. It has been so disappointing and frustrating, and I would like to request my money back

Horrible service! They deleted my website and email even after I told them I was moving domains first. They did this out of pure spite because I was leaving and it is unethical business practices. web.com is making the transfer of my domains take longer as well. If I do not get these web domains transferred to my new account at bluehost by tomorrow, I am calling my attorney.

Reason I chose this business:

I don't know why I ever chose web.com. Horrible service!
