As a web developer, I have worked with different Registrars for 25+ years now and Register.com is near the bottom of the list (along with Godaddy). Apparently there was an issue with a card and among their barrage of daily spam emails there might have been a notice about this. Regardless, we are now almost 30 hours in, after providing new credit card info, for them to restore our site. Spent hours on chat and the phone and they still cannot tell us when they may get around to restoring our email and web services. You keep getting bounced around from all these different departments but in the end, 30 hrs in we are still down. I should also note that the disputed charge was for a service we were not even using and they took it upon themselves to alter our DNS name servers. Just an amazingly bad company all around.

This service is absolute garbage. Email constantly goes down, and customer service is terrible. Do not expect any help via the chat, and you will never reach a real person via the phone number. We operate a small business, and after the 2nd multi day issue that was not resolved and loss of revenue. We canceled the service and just had to get with all of our customers for our new domain name, webiste, and email.

Horrible, and lied about the price, they hang up and the chat service is useless. It's impossible to manage your account online. It's not 2.07 per month, it's 10.00

I am grateful to have the opportunity of opening a business online. I was is dire need of having a business online in order to support myself and you've allowed me to do so with ease. I am very grateful. Thank you.

Web.com, as so many businesses today, has complete disregard for their customers and even less interested in actually providing a quality product and service at a competitive cost or value for their customers.
Firstly, they lie about how much they charge. They quote one price and then add ICANN fees separately. They then add approximately 30% additional cost in the form of their line itemed out SSL fees.
Their 'chat' representatives not only cannot apparently understand or speak English, they simply lie and then, when you finally get them to start doing their job, they stop... refer you to their 800 helpline, and disconnect.
I have two sites with them and am looking for another hosting alternative. I would NOT recommend this useless company to anyone.

I tried 7 times on hold 45 minute each to straighten out my website…it has been showing "under construction" since May 1st even after they received a full year of payment from me…I canceled their service and they refused to give me a refund…I spent over a thousand dollars building signs with my website from web.com that I bought for my company store…customers all think I am out of business since my website is not working…needless to say—their customer service is from a foreign nation that does not have the power or know how to help…please shop elsewhere…they are the worst online company I have dealt with…taking down my signs today and finding a company locally that cares about me…after 7 phone calls it is logical for me to say—these guys STINK…and don't care about hurting their clients…maddening and cannot believe they are considered a good company cause they have been lousy and untrustworthy since day 1…

Web.com took down my website and all business e-mail after I have been a client for over 6 years. They never e-mailed me about any problems and just took everything down. I'm not sure why they did this. I have been trying for 2 days to get this restored and have been told the escalation process takes 24 - 48 Hours. Meanwhile, I can't get any business e-mails and may be losing business. I asked to escalate this to a manger and was told that they will call me in another 4 hours. In my book this is not any way to run a business. I would think about using them if I were you... Beware!

As far as I know, the domains I registered with Web.com do not work today. The charges showed up immediately on June 9th and it is June 13 today. I paid for five years because I had good service on my other domain. Of course, I never asked Web.Com for any information. Wordpress says it does not exist. The "customer service" will not help because my ATT email server cannot receive Web.com support emails so I don't know the "secret" word. It is ironic that all of the marketing emails get through every day. Tonite the Indian lady transferred me to the "Microsoft 365" support desk to "fix"my outlook. Their voice mail announcement said they were open from 7a to 12a Eastern and they were closed. I called at 8:00 PM CDT.

I am sooooooooo frustrated. I understand that I cannot change domain registrars until I have had the domain 6 months. I really need to get this website up and don't know what to do.

PS. I would love to provide the proof of purchase referenced below but, all I have is a credit card statement. Yet another insult.

Advertised 1.95 for a month of website/domain service. I never agreed to auto renew, but they were doing it. I signed up for 1 month to try it. They kept billing for service@ 10.00 each. I never would have agreed to that amount. The website never even had any traffic, and I hadn't checked my it. I figured it was no longer up, because I only paid for the 1 month. This went on for 7 months. They refuse to give any refund. Chatting with customer service she says no supervisor was available to chat with me either (of course).

Good deals, and with the help of professional online product designers. A very straightforward website builder, and easy to use for a beginner like me

Absolute crooks. I was only interested in a one-time transaction of $1.95, but they helped themselves to recurring monthly charges of $13.19 on my credit card and there is no way to cancel through the account page. There seems to conveniently be an error message whenever this is attempted. I had to contact the fraud department of my credit card company to get them to stop.

I have had my website with web.com for 10 years. And in all that time I have worked to improve it. It had over 3000 photographic images. In the past if there was a problem with the automatic monthly payment they would email me, leave me a voice message me or both and I would fix the issue right away. I changed banks 4 months ago and immediately updated my form of payment at the website. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago my website is suddenly gone. Supposedly for non-payment for the last three months. I immediately checked my auto pay and my new bank card was not listed as the preferred card however when I went to re-enter the information it self-populated which mean I did in fact enter it the first time and web.com is responsible for the mistake/glitch. Plus, they never contacted me as they had in the past. Since then, I have been given nothing but the run around I have spent over 3 hours on the phone being passed from one unhelpful person to the next. Culminating yesterday with an IT person who promised he could repopulate my new website with my old information so the original website would essentially be recovered. He then jerked me around for a bit longer and the hung up on me. I have gotten no emails about next steps even just to say that I have to start completely from scratch. They are simply acting like I don't exist. The worst customer service I have ever experienced.

Bought a domain name on 04/17/22 for $10. Checked the bank after one hour of buying the domain to find out I was charged $590. I called and was told an old deactivated account that is no longer in business was charged an e-commerce package and 2 years of marketing on top of the domain name. I was told I would receive a full refund for the $590. A few days go by and a refund for $239 was issued. I called them to see why I didn't receive the full refund from them and the lady told me that it has been over 3 days and they can no longer help me. Not sure why they think its alright to fraudulently charge my credit card, or why they think its ok to activate an old deactivated account because they feel like it. I have called several times because this is unacceptable but they just give me the run around, there is never a manager or someone who can actually help. I highly doubt this company is US based. I'm thinking it is all a big scam. I will be in contact with the Better Business Bureau and the States Attorneys Office. Please be careful with this company!

I couldn't reset my password and kept getting 'service not available' messages. So, I reached out through the chat function and got a friendly Indian guy. He only had a very narrow script to follow, and after trying the same thing 5 different ways, he redirected me to the online portal to open up a ticket with Tier 2. The only problem was that I needed to have a working login ---which was way I opened the ticket in the first place.

So - I started all over with phone support. Spent another hour on the phone, tried the same 5 things over and over.The FINALLY created an escalation ticket (S-*******) and told me that someone would contact me 'SOON'

A week later, I called back in and the ticket was marked 'fixed' - with no notification to me. However, when I tried to access my account, it still didn't work. So, I ended back in Tier 1 support trying the same 5 things.

ARGH! Switching away ASAP

After being a customer for 24 years, I tried to transfer a domain name to another perosn. The web site advice USELESS, and the CHAT assistance marginally better.
These guys do NOT deserve your business and I will NEVER EVER USE THEM AGAIN!

I got a simple e-commerce web site and have been locked out since I purchased it. After days of trying to talk to customer service whom none of which speak english, I figured out it was because the employee had my email address wrong. After numerous attempts to resolve the issue I finally gave up and told them to cancel my account. Yes they cancelled it as requested, but they are now (3 weeks after cancelling) attempting to take $20 from my credit card for unknown services they have not provided. I tried logging back in once I seen they tried to take money from me and my account doesn't exist. Now I lost my domain name and access to a web site I purchased, they are continuing to take money from me for an account that no longer exists. Thankful i caught it and put a block on all payment to this company. Do yourself a favor and stick with a more reputable web site provider. It will save you a lot of frustration and wasted money.

I actually have never written a review in my life but I have been so unhappy with my decision to use Web.com to host my domain and email service I wanted to warn others. The website builder is fine... definitely not as straightforward as the reviews make it seem and limited options so I couldn't make my website exactly how I wanted it to look unless I were to hire someone to code it for me. The email hosting was a complete nightmare! I still do not have a working email after 3 months of calling the help desk on how to fix and resolve the issues that no one can seem to figure out even still. Every person told me something different than the last as to what was wrong... My emails STIILL don't work and I have literally talked to close to 20 different people! It's so frustrating and I have lost several clients not knowing my emails never reached them after weeks... and not to mention the hours and hours I have lost due to dealing with this BS when I should have been actually working on my business. I signed up for a 2 year plan and can't get in touch with a manager to ask for a refund since the company is so large. Unfortunately, the best option for me right now is to cut my losses of close to $300 and just close my account and go elsewhere. Looking into Squarespace and hoping they are better.

Do not use network solutions, they will steal your money without your consent! This is the worst service I have ever used and the customer service is absolutely awful. They STOLE money from me and I will be involving my bank and the police of this fraudulent behaviour! I was charged a service after cancelling. I tried to contact online support and the person on the chat left both times without helping. I tried calling customer service, I had to wait 30 minutes and was disconnected twice. When I finally got through to someone the third time after waiting 30 minutes again, I then had to be directed to someone else who said someone made a mistake and did not cancel the services. They said they could not refund me (this was a day after my account was charged). They stole my money, did not refund me and took up over two hours of my work day. I am extremely upset, frustrated and angry with this company. I pray this company gets shut down so no one else has to have money taken from them!

As an owner of a digital agency we work with several website hosts. Network Solutions is definitely near the bottom. Their support is horrendous. You are ALWAYS on hold for 30 minutes. Then you get a glorified sales person they are trying to convert into tech support. There are many other hosts that do a much better job than Network Solutions. Keep shopping.

E mail has been a nightmare now advised I have to do another update on my end ( DNS records) I chatted with an agent who finally told me my e mail was down since I needed to do an update, what a way of finding out! Then advised I had to call on Monday to get someone to do the propagation of my e mail that could take up to 48 hours to do. Basically, e mail down for 4 days! E mail went down 3 weeks ago and they told me I needed to pay for more space which I did, the real problem is they have server issues so when I delete e mails when they're using one of the servers my e mails quit working. When my e mails were on one of the other servers I could delete e mails without issues. If there we 0 stars option that is what I would have clicked.
