This site is awesome for those who aren't techie at all, but let's get in to why it's not good in every other way. This site is all about the world of technology, but the staff there are snobby, they act like they are the prince of "Q&A", which by the way is never answered by an actual staff member, and their entire site got hacked. The staff should be friendly and welcoming, they're web writers, nothing special. However, they act like they are the king of sites. They aren't that useful, informative or cool. I've seen much better sites with friendlier staff. "Advertise with us for x and x" amount of money? I know many bigger websites who would advertise for you free of charge. They try to get you to subscribe, download content, lead you to annoying directories -- all of which are found on Google. Some of them are malware and viruses. They act like clowns when they seem to act as if they are intelligent at the same time.

The concept of sitejabber is fantastic and you can really rely on it for website reviews. As a person who tried to claim a site though, on here, I can honestly say that it's terrible with e-mail requirements. Not everyone has an e-mail address that matches their site domain, but almost everyone has some type of e-mail. Other than that, very useful site.

The GOOD: WEBS isn't bad by any means. They just have to take care of their current issues. Unfortunately, the current issues outweighs the good that the host offers. WEBS offers a site carousel (scrolling content), allows members to create a profile on your website, add friends, post on forums, comment on blog entries, etc. all under one account. In addition, WEBS offers custom HTML (not to be mistaken with custom CSS), password protected pages, meta descriptions, built-in apps and more. If you have a small business, a PRO package includes an eCommerce store with custom e-mail addresses.

The BAD: Webs currently is limited. You cannot add tags in your forum, you can't moderate content and you cannot (for the time being) search your forum because their code is broken. Also, mobile users have to have Flash in their browsers if they want to post something new. Most devices nowadays don't have or support Flash. Also, be aware. Their prices show you annual prices first! Not monthly prices, although they do have flexible payment options. Lastly, you cannot cancel in the middle. You can turn auto-renew off, but you won't be able to delete your site until your subscription is up. I don't mind any of these, the only thing I mind is having users use the mobile site. It's a golden, 10/10 host and I can't wait until they fix their issues.
