The hosting is great and best but the email always has issues. Since it is vital to my organization, I wish the email issues were solved, the emails we send are delivered after a few hours and raised a lot of tickets for this too.

Customer service keeps lying to me about what they will do. Or maybe they are incompetent. And when I check later, it was done or it wasn't done properly.

I had to jump thru hoops to get my free domain. Your customer service is horrible. If I wasn't working with the free web site guys, I'd still be sitting at my computer cussing you out under my breath. Please feel free to review my account for what I am talking about.

The new, to me, interface is horrible! Why do I have to select a web site when I only have one? Why isn't cPanel front and center as soon as I log on? This whole thing is crap.

Im really tired of you pushing products on me every time I login... usually the same products over and over and over and over again. You also hide the "no thanks" button. Displeased.

At the moment I am satisfied with the service, the only thing I understand that needs to be improved are the server crashes that were very frequent and this greatly affects the websites and leaves losses because the vast majority of their clients live off their websites.

There's been much confusion on numbers to call and who to speak to from your representatives. Yesterday I was passed between several reps and phone numbers until finally someone was able to assist me. Also, I requested changes to my website on February 15 and as of yesterday none had been made.

The changes that have been made to the account home page and control panel are not intuitive at all. We have our website built on Weebly and it's almost impossible now to find where to log in to work on the website. Everytime I log in, I spend 10 minutes just clicking around trying to find what I need. Terrible design.
