Price and then your raised costs and customer service is awful
Can't find cpanel login. Why do you guys constantly move the link to access cpanel? Every time I log in its somewhere else
I have a domain that I no longer want because the client did not want it after I paid for it. It is on auto renewal even though I did not put it on autorenewal. The dashboard won't let me take it off autorenewal. You just charged me for it which I was willing to let go, but I sure don't want to pay for it again next time. If I don't want something on autorenewal or I want to stop having a domain I need to be able to do so. This is exactly what made me leave my last domain registrar.
Been around for years since I was a kid. Good customer service.
The ease to navigate around to effect desired changes to my site and the security checks in place to protect against external attacks.
I am happy with the service and maintenance, thanks all
