Let's Encrypt SSL install seems to have failed and I have no available options. I cannot even visit my WP Dashboard due to "security issues". I have to wait until this is resolved to do anything with your service, but I can't seem to connect with anyone on live chat. Bad first impression, for sure.

I don't like Word Press very much, and the webmail is turning out to be a pain.

Having a very difficult time trying to create a simple blog page. I click "log into Wordpress" or My Site and neither go any where. This is a roadblocker for me and I am about to take my domain somewhere much more user friendly

This is marketed as much easier than in reality. Not user friendly at all.

Start up process is extremely convoluted and I cannot figure out how to get started on a new web site. I tried this in lieu of GoDaddy and I have godaddy which is an easier platform
