Trying to contact you by using the chat link that you have sent me but it's not active. Trying to regain access to my email account that I had transferred to your host (my account expired) and can't find a solution.

Site takes a long to very long time to load. Recent outages where i lost data as a result didnt help. 24/7 help doe not exist.
Time you focused more on some quality of service rather than just blanket advertising to get revenue and customers you cant service properly

Too often the site has been down, both mine and BlueHost. It's slow at time. Every time I go into a page to edit, it reloads twice. I have to log in again when accessing email.
