      Over the summer of 2024 web.com built my website ************************* for $3000 and a $70 monthly fee
      they eliminated my website bc of non-payment however never contacted me by written correspondence, phone, text or email. They claim they emailed me 5 times and stated my email wasn't working, but it is. Now they state I have to rebuild the website at a $2000 expense.
      This company has placed my patients and my practice at risk. Customer service is a joke.
      I'd like to be reimbursed for my loss and want to warn people from using this business

      ***After lengthy explanation of services provided, hired Web.com to build our website, and once built, to host the site.

      ***They required payment of everything upfront, including hosting- even though hosting would not begin immediately. Paid $2898 for build/hosting.

      ***Immediately after paying, Web.com changed the terms of the agreement. We gave them a list of our expectations, and they agreed we were correct. We tried giving them the opportunity to provide what they had promised. They consistently said they would, but it became clear that they were saying one thing and planned to do another. It appeared to be a bait and switch on nearly every promise they made.

      ***We requested a refund (as they had said we could get at any time). The refund was very difficult to get processed. We had to badger and threaten for a week before getting a refund of all but $58.

      ***We don't know what the $58 is, but it is shown as a recurring subscription on our credit card. We disputed the charge since Web.com never built, nor hosted our website.
      ***After disputing the charge, we sent an email to Web.com to make sure that we are not signed up for any recurring charges for services they are not providing. We put in writing to cancel all portions of any accounts they had set up for us.

      ***Our sales person, Robin Smith, responded that we needed to send this request to the "appropriate department" at Web.com to have it canceled. He is our only contact. We never made it past him. We asked for the contact info for the "appropriate department", and he has not responded.

      ***We want any account that was proactively set up for us to be canceled and all future charges canceled. Web.com never actually did any work or hosting for us. They insisted we pay upfront, and that's as far as we got. Even though our site is hosted by a different company, it appears Web.com has plans to continually charge us, and they won't provide contact information to proceed with our request.

      In 2000, I bought a domain (my name) from ************. They had good prices and service, and I continued to use them for nearly 25 years for hosting and email forwarding.Then this last summer email stopped working for my wife and I. So I pulled up mydomain... and found out they'd sold out to web.com, which I was unfamiliar with. Finally got through to their "service"... only to be told that they no longer offered email forwarding for domain owners. I also got a flag from my credit card saying there had been an unusual charge... from web.com.The "unusual charge" was $147 to renew a domain... a domain that I had intentionally let lapse years before. I went to log in to start the process of moving my domains. Web.com had instituted a *** on my account, requiring that I receive an email from them with an access code.They were sending that email to an address that THEY HAD TURNED OFF THEMSELVES when they arbitrarily and without notice deactivated email forwarding. So now I had to change the administrative email address for my account, as well as all my domains.This "simple change" took three weeks. Then I was notified that oops, any contact info change locks down a domain for 60 days.We still couldn't get mail at our regular addresses. web.com "conveniently" offered paid email hosting (forcing domain owners into this was obviously why this whole business started), which I regretfully signed up for. On the 61st day, I put in for transfer codes for all my domains. Then I found out it would be "24 to 72 hours" for them to process (it was actually almost a week). In the meantime, web.com "helpfully" charged me $25 to renew one of the domains that I'd already told them I was moving to another host, and which wouldn't expire for another 10 days anyway.Four weeks after I canceled Web.coms email service, and after I removed the domains associated with those addresses, Web.com charged me for another month of service. Theres another chargeback for you.

      according to my contract with dotster the BASIC\ESSENTIAL SSL certificated its FREE

      I have been a customer for more than 15 years, I have 7 domains and I have never paid $1, including one that I bought in March, yesterday I bought another one and they wanted to charge me $88 for the certified SSL, the supervisor offered me the SSL at 50% of the price I paid $44 because I needed it, but online at this link
      ***********************************************************************

      The price of the SSL certificate is $27.99, a screenshot is attached to this message, it is unfair to have to pay when it should be free, and also have to pay a higher price

      I have a ****** there and wanted to transfer it to another host because of a need to improve DNS handling and they will not provide the transfer code needed to move the domain that I own, to another host which is costing me money as a result of the poor DNS handling which is causing my web pages at another host to load slowly or not at all. So I need for them to give me the code so I can move my ****** and they haven't provided it. So I continue to lose money because of their lack of support!

      Register.com signs one up for unasked for services and charges you. Then they won't refund your money. They are a fraudulent business. I will never do business with them again.

      My experience as a customer of *********** was consistent. As soon as they were taken over by Web.com, it all went south. With ***********, domain forwarding was part of the package I paid for every year. Without contacting me, Web.com made domain forwarding an extra charge, causing my website to immediately NOT be connected to my domain. Nobody contacted me about the change; my website just stopped working. When I went to Web.com to troubleshoot, they sent me on a wild goose ***** before I finally figured it out myself. Every single way to fix it involved Web.com upselling me on new, more expensive package. I decided to leave Web.com and deal with my domain somewhere less duplicitous and nickel-and-dimey. The problem is, while using Web.com, I decided to update my email address which, unbeknownst to me, triggered a SIXTY DAY period (via *****) where I can't transfer my domain. SIXTY DAYS. So now I'm stuck with a website that won't work for two months. When I changed the email address, Web.com didn't warn me or tell me that there was going to be a lock put on my domain. How would I know otherwise? I have had zero complaints about dotster and nothing but headaches with Web.com

      I'm quite unsure of exactly what you mean. It's listed on web.com. And appearing on Google search and on Google Maps, the screenshot that I sent shows how it's listed. It provides my personal home address and my personal cell phone number that I have asked repeatedly to be removed and they Refuse
