Why do I need to call back and chat 5 times before my account is unlocked? I got a text that attention was needed from inside an airplane, I got disconnected and reconnected many times and got locked out. JUST UNLOCK ME!

For almost one week you deactivated my account for no reasons, every day I contact agents and they didn't say a clear answer and postpone to few hours and when I contacted again then they did same, during this time we lost some valuable things related to our business and finally I figured out you locked some accounts to investigate, at least you could tell me that you have a security issue so that I wait you open my account again but I received complicated answer and I had to contact you again and agian and every time I had to waste time to wait an agent to answer me

I can't create an account without purchasing a domain or hosting plan. I want to transfer in a domain to a new account, but I cannot because of this.

Not impressed
February 16, 2024

Not impressed. I've had numerous issues and my site has gone down multiple times, each time resulting in me having to contact support multiple times to try and get the issue sorted, even after being advised the issue was fixed. I never had issues with my previous host. My images are suddenly taking forever to upload. Another issue I never had with previous host..

I tried connecting my domain to Square, but it overrode my website, so I reverted changes, and since then my website has been down. Live Chat has seemed to identify the issue but so far it hasn't been picked.

The Site works well, However, there have been a number of Technical issues with the Hosting site which, as a complete beginner in building a Website cause me confusion and self doubt by thinking I was the one making mistakes and missing 'obvious' choices due to my lack of technological experience!

For some reason I can't log into my account - I get another account that has my details but I can't do anything with it - how does that work? When I spoke to someone on chat, THEY could access my account, yet I still can't. They were using the user ID which I was initially given, but that doesn't allow me to log in. So when I ask for my user ID, the email tells me that it's my blog domain. Am incredibly frustrated and would appreciate proper help.
