You used to have excellent customer service, took me 4 calls today and I still got nothing done here...
Most of your agents dont even understand what your saying here. Wow
Dedicated server configuration is slow- there is no Standard initial setups that gets most things ready like Reverse DNS IP and related Email functionality.
The speed initially was slow but i think it was due to MYSQL not Imported the sql file properly (100-150MB sql files)
Even now, its difficult to upload a 100MB sql file and most of the time does not completel the imports.
Dedicated server configuration is boring - there is no Standard initial setups that gets most things ready

Good products, responsive service, excellent techs
I've had an ongoing problem with some of my domain registrations and renewals for months now, and the issue still isn't totally resolved.
C-panel not recognizing my domain to add an email address to.
I have to get through the "Protect Your Domain" Screen and choose "No, Leave My Domain Unprotected" EVERY time I log in
My issues is not resolved yet and in process. My rating can change after my technical issues are resolved
Not user friendly! Email transfers often fail. Somewhat unreliable.
New website sucks! Takes forever to get to emails. HATE IT!
You and your team are absolutely incapable of fixing my DNS issue preventing me from publishing my site. You gladly take my money, and offer no real assistance to fix the issue. I will absolutely never use your services, nor will my company, nor will anyone in my network.
I have been a customer for ages and now I am trying to add new card to my profile to renew my services but I am not able to add and I requested support but still not solved. It's been more than a week
As you were friendly, were. Lately I get more and more aggressive selling e-mails from you. NOT GOOD!
The "add protection" screen that appears when I am trying to log into my dashboard is $#*!ing annoying.
Because of its quality services, but my faith and trust is shattered, you have reduced my package from unlimited website to limited website
Low cost (at the time - now high, thanks to changed exchange rate) + powered by renewable energy
