It's very cumbersome that I cannot just cut and paste a link to my page so that the title of the link and the graphics are displayed and people can just click on the link.

Staff don't follow nor listen and create more problems then they resolve! It also takes more than 3 calls to handle just ONE simple problem!

Worst experience ever!
April 6, 2024
Updated review

Worst experience ever! Was unable to login for about a month, then I cancel my hosting! The year after, I was billed again for a whole year, and I thought to try again, but then I could not access any of my files, and they tried to blackmail to pay extra for for SSH access!

Stop the popups that appear after I log in. I know what services you offer and if I want them, I will let you know. Stop bombarding us with extra clicks and slowing down our workflow.

It's good that you offer to scan our files for infected files BUT this is something that you should do automatically or offer us a button to do it ourselves.

When I log in
April 6, 2024

When I log in - as a paying customer I have to navigate BS pop ups prompting me to do things I don't want. It used to be so simple and easy to use BH. I hate logging in anymore. Long time customer here...
