Being a tech company, your chat system is very very poor and bad services, it has no sound notification no alert / notification while chatting. You don't have proper customer care e-mail ID, and no reply of complaints from your side.

I got it because of good price and unlimited domain hosting. But since I signed up, I have found that the chat is always helpful and solves my issues quickly. So far I have only put up a WP blog and a simple Joomla site. I am looking forward to building a e-commerce site with your help.
