The tutorials and articles have been very helpful and clearly written. I love the screen shots; they help me better understand the information.

Worst customer support ever
December 28, 2022

Worst customer support ever. Charged me in full when it clearly stated monthly payment plan. Adding multiple sites is very confusing & they all have to be nested under Katnap even if separate business.

I can't get rid of the Optinmonster plug in which keeps flashing at me. I am a little amazed that you would let them harass your customers this way.

I also can't find any guidance that will tell me how to remove the Creativo theme that needs to be reloaded to work. Long story there. Not a good one.

Sorry. Try rephrasing your need.

I purchased a hosting plan with a discount. Then I purchased a domain and try to assign it to the hosting plan. I can't chose "Addon domain". It tells me to contact billing department. What is the purpose of purchasing the hosting if I can't use it with my domain?

It's all really clear and easy to work with. I contacted support with one query - they were great, and also let me know that I could set up a free email address for my domain (unrelated to my query but very useful)!
