We have been using webs for years with a premium account and it used to be a good value for a decent price. Not anymore. It has become impossible to upload files, to edit files, to get anyone from tech support to give you an idea how long they might need to fix the problem - oh yes, they admit to having one, which doesn't help much either. The whole service has become so terrible that I would love to give it MINUS 10 stars.

Utter shambles!
November 27, 2017

Was okay (ish) for most of the time we had the free version, but needing greater storage we 'upgraded' to 'Premium' and now have a worse service!
Calendar will not update the 'Upcoming Events' on the home page properly. We have some events coming through, but not all. Customer service has been useless! Never thought upgrading would lead to a worse service!

Such a Waste of Time
March 31, 2015

I have been trying to get our website back up for a few weeks now. A few months ago they shut us down saying we didn't pay. They brought us back up only to shut us down one more time. I have spent numerous hours trying to get this resolved. I even had our bank contact a representative and sent them copies of our bank statements to prove we paid. It's pitiful that it takes weeks and nothing gets resolved and no one will call you back or reply to emails.

You will not find a glitchier site editor than this one. Every edit these days just goes back to the same, "Error please refresh the page". It's next to impossible to make a good-looking website with it.

You need to be careful about their billing options; they are not clearly spelled out, and, of course, they err on the side of getting more money from you.

Customer service is only fair; I depend on my site, and it has now taken over a day to resolve a problem that jeopardizes my website. People whom I know are telling me something is wrong. Meanwhile, of course, people who don't know me are probably thinking, "This website is not worth anything."

Thank you for your feedback Eliot. Sorry you feel that way. Do you have any suggestions on how to improve our billing options?

Horrid
December 3, 2015

Horrible. Haven't been able to edit my site in three years without three computers. Now I can't at all. Staff help is non existent. Call here, email there no one knows anything. Then they tell you to email here and you get a blanket email back how they are looking into it, nothing, you call, they tell you they have it and they are waiting for your response. Response to what? An email that says don't email back? So I do, several times. Still nothing. Then try to tell me it went to spam. No I'm looking at it. Then want me to make a new email? Seriously? And then ask me to take a survey on their service!? I've done many through the years. I've learned that is to passifying us into thinking they care. Do NOT use this company. Nothing but a headache
And yeah when you can't get on your site all you get is contact live chat LOL

Webs.com should be shut down. This is an untrustworthly company that will at a moment when you least expect it take your web content on what you think is your site and do what I am not sure. They give you no notice and then put something damaging about your site in place of when someone searches for your site. I encourage you to use another site and keep a copy of your content and remember that at any time they could keep your content and when people search for you they may find damaging or be mislead at the min about you when infact you have done nothing wrong. I am not saying they took a bribe from one of my competitors to remove my site. There are better options is all I am saying just my opinion.

I had several websites with them and they shut down one which was the one that allowed me access into all of them. Now I cannot get into any of my sites. They won't answer emails either. I would NEVER recommend them to anyone.

I have used webs in the past when they were freewebs, and loved them. I recently created a new site that was immediately frozen for a violation of terms. I sent e-mails to the abuse address, and have only gotten a canned answer. I am just looking to find out what terms I supposedly violated so that I can fix it. I literally created the site and a quick landing page, and it was frozen. Just looking for real help, and haven't been able to get it

Webs.com sucks!
January 12, 2017

The site never work, the reps always blame you instead of themselves, and when you provide them screenshots, they ignore you and lock the topic you're trying to talk to them in. Oh, and to speak to a live agent, you must be a paying person. If not, get ignored.

They renewed my website without authorization. They state I was sent emails asking if I wanted to cancel the site and that is completely not true. Tried to contact customer service... almost impossible. There was no where on my site settings to cancel my service.

Scammers
May 23, 2015

Renewed my service, then a month later i find out my domain name expired and my website disappeared for good. Webs claim they sent notices telling me the domain was separate from their services and expiring. Not true. Didnt receive anything. I wondered what I was paying them for since without the domain i built for 2 years I had nothing. Thanks to them my whole site and following was wiped out. Told them to cancel services. They just automatically took 99 dollars from Pay Pal again a year later. Unauthorized stealing is what it is. No customer service line. Pure scamming.

I forgot to update my new credit card so when it supposed to be renewal for my domain they just took it. So when I realize my website doesnt work after 3 weeks I was told to pay $1500 for each domain and they can let me have it back. Real crooks! Stay away. Unless you looking to be out of business.

This company has a poor communication system. Email and live chat are it's only communication format and the people behind they scenes are unable to provide anything other than automated responses. Our group is wanting to transfer our domain away from this company and the EPP code does not transfer through Webs.com automated system. They have ignored our requests to contact the hosting company ENOMS who has the ability to manually send it to us, but needs webs.com permission. So in essence, Webs.com is holding our domain hostage and it is scheduled to expire in 4 days. The corporate headquarters in Maryland publishes telephone numbers, but when dialed, both ring as fax numbers. There is no way to speak to a live human being. We have been trying to resolve our issue for over a month and we are sick and tired of trying to deal with this inadequate company.

Is there no authority who can stop these sites from using tick boxes. While using the web for purchasing or information you only have to miss ticking or unticking a box for someone to pass your contact details on. While it is easy to stop unwanted e mail it is harder to stop unwanted postal mail.

Webs.com is horrible and I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy! As someone who is not web savy, their "its easy to create your webpage" is false advertisement. Sure, use their template and you're fine but when you try to add content its all over the place with formatting issues. I as a user wouldn't know that I shouldn't cut and paste from Word to my webpage and only months later do I get an answer to my issue.

Customer service is a joke and they have had on going problems on their end for months with no resolution. I along with other paid out good hard earned money on a company to host our website but Webs doesn't hold up their end of their bargain. I gave them a 1 star rating but truthfully I'd really like to give them a negative 100! I'm sure I am not alone in this assessment of their services.

I am looking for a new company to host my page. If I were you, look elsewhere and don't buy into their lines about how good their company is or you'll regret it!
