Have been trying to set up a new website on my unlimited website hosting and the server was down. I spoke to customer service who advised me I would just have to wait. Have tried 3 times to set it up and will try again today. Today I spoke to customer service again and they sorted it all out.

Every question and concern is being answered through just clicking to the next step. You'd have to be too particular and too much of a perfectionist to not appreciate what is at hand. Yes there's more that can take it further but what already exists is most key to viewer's experience on your page.

I entered the wrong domain name and wanted to change it. I am not told that I need to purchase ANOTHER domain? This is absurd.

I haven't learned much about the program yet. I hope to do that soon. I'm needing to change billing as I chose a much higher plan than I need to use. Would like to get a refund on that. The site doesn't make that part easy to find.

When the advertisement says I get unlimited email addresses, I expect there to be a way to access the email without paying an additional fee. I'm already paying a lot. I am not happy.
