    I started a subscription with Web.com but did not use any of their services and they still charged my credit card and refused to give a refund. The only way they would talk to me is if I pay more money. It's hard to email them so I called them over the phone and they were very unprofessional and got personal. When you're looking for web services please avoid because they do not have your best interest. They are clearly out to get your money and run! I have dealt with several companies but this is not one that is reasonable. There are many more options companies individuals who can really respectfully help you but please avoid Web.com at all cost!!

    I received a great price to host my website, now I know why. I had an issue registering my site with Google's search engine. I called Web.com's tech support only to find out I have to purchase another service from them at a MUCH, MUCH higher price than the hosting. So basically they sold me a car with no engine. But have no fear, they'll sell you an engine at 10 times the cost of hosting. I ADVISE YOU TO FIND A REPUTABLE COMPANY TO DO BUSINESS WITH.

    I signed up for a trial account in June 2022 in order to write a review about the company. You have to input credit card information to even be able to use the service. Once I finished the article, I called to cancel the subscription because it's the only way they allow cancellation. I never received an email about the cancellation. A few weeks later, I was unexpectedly going through a separation to my spouse. I was an authorized user on the credit card that was used to set up the trial. As soon as my separation from my spouse was set into motion, I called and removed myself as an authorized user on my ex's credit card. I wasn't thinking about Web.com at the time and assumed that my cancellation had gone through.

    Flash forward to December 2022. I received an email saying that my card had been charged for the monthly fee. This is the first email from Web.com since I signed up for a trial. I went back and searched for any other emails (even in my junk and trash folders) and found nothing. I went to web.com, got the support number and called to confirm my account had been cancelled. They had no record of cancellation, and told me that they would cancel it now. I asked for a refund on any charges on the card, and explained to them that as of June 2022, I wasn't even a user on that card, that it was my ex's credit card. They put me on hold for 30 minutes.

    Chris (the support person) came back on and told me that they couldn't refund any charges because I knowingly signed up for a monthly service. I reiterated that I had called to cancel back in June, that I had received no emails stating that I was being charged until just now, December 15, 2022. Basically, he told me that he didn't care, and that there was nothing that could be done. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he said "Give me your phone number and I'll have someone call you back." I said, transfer me and I'll wait. He put me on hold and said "No one can talk to you right now, so they will call you back today."

    I reiterated again that the card they were charging isn't in my name, that I am no longer an authorized user, and that it shouldn't be this hard to cancel a service that I never even intended on using. Then he hung up on me.. This is the biggest scam I've encountered. I'm having to call my ex and have him dispute all of the charges on his card. I will try to reach out to web.com again, but don't expect any different results. I'm sure they will continue to charge me too.

    It has taken almost a month to get our domain released and transferred to GoDaddy. Customer Service makes up excuses and lies about when the domain would be transferred. They said all domains are released once every 24 hours. Here we are 3 days later still waiting for the release.

    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.

    Advertised 1.95 per month for website service. I never agreed to auto renew, but they were doing it. Added on 2 more monthly services @ 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. They refuse to give any refund. Chatting with customer service she says no supervisor was available to chat with me either (of course).

    I am an Spanish user. Years ago, I bought two domains (I can't remember if it was with twocows.com or with register.com). Over time, the original registerer was bought and it became "Web.com". At some point, there was an account migration problem and my domains were "lost" (they were there, but there was no account to manage them). When one of the domains' register expired, I became aware of the problem and after MANY phone calls the domain was correctly renewed and included in my account. Now, the second domain has the same problem: is set to expire next month and I am unable to manage it because it is "lost" without an account. I explained this more than a month ago, multiple times, and submitted a ticket (**) on January 4th. Since then, I asked multiple times again but the problem persists. I need a solution and I can't wait months for it for obvious reasons. Very bad support service.

    The company never called me back but did however refund the money that was taken out of my account.

    Original Review: Oct. 18, 2021

    I had Web.com help build a new website for my business, they said I should keep paying my monthly fees for my old website till new one was finished, so I did even though I was making fees on new web also, even though it wasn't done, plus $4,000 to help build new one. When my website was finished I cancelled the old one, but they continue taking out fees for the old one. I called. They transferred me to billing, the person I talked to told me he would cancel it again but would not be able to refund my money for charges they should not have taken, put me on hold 3 times, then said he would call me back within a hour, and never called me back. This is second time I called and they had me on hold for 50 minutes. Christian ** is the man who set everything up and explained all my fees, I have messaged him twice in last 2 weeks but he has not contact me. Really disappointed and frustrated.

    BE CAREFUL HERE. I called into their technical support and landed inside their call center; which was riddled with very bad behavior. Keep in mind, their staff will have access to your entire website, emails etc; and as I suspected; they are also willing to vandalize your website; which they did, after I got into an argument with one of them on the phone for not taking my call seriously. My website was vandalized; email system shut down. I called Web.com twice and asked what happen to the employee who did it; and they said they will take action against the employee'; I filed a dispute on BBB; and now Web.com is saying the employee did nothing wrong and that my email that got shut down, and vandalism was a 'technical' issue; really? So, the employee remains, and Web.com is even protecting them. Very very disappointing to see that.

    Spent a lot of time using Web.com for our website and email hosting. Never ending issues with the service and non-existent support. All culminating in our email not working one day and I had to spend literally 6+ hours on the phone to get any assistance with the problem. Was bounced from one department to another, waiting at a minimum 30 mins or more each time I was transferred. This company is simply terrible.

    Web.com has a very responsive customer service. They were extremely helpful as I came up with barrage of questions and they answered all of them. The wait time was a bit longer, but it lasted less time than the suggested wait time. The different people I spoke with were very helpful and polite. Their pricing is very reasonable, and on top of this they provide way more with their plans for a much more reasonable price than my previous provider did. It took about three days for them to do the migration and they did it perfectly.

    I went to Web.com to create a unique website for my business which took 15 days to complete, I accepted this timeframe thinking this website is going to be great but then came to realise after the late completion (5 weeks) that it's a website that anyone could have created on a simple builder that you can get for free nowadays, it then came to light that they are apparently only web designers and not web developers, this is not clear at all therefore they cannot create a viable platform for a decent sized business, meaning it's only ok for hobbies or if you are not looking to create an information website.

    The website and Logo (a total of £1320) are disappointing that they are so basic. I haven’t asked for a refund for these as I respect the fact that someone has done some work and needs to be paid. But what I have kindly requested was a refund in kind to reflect the fact it was not at all what I required or what they sold me, they told me they won’t do this.

    I decided to pay for all my emails upfront as I wanted to keep my monthly costs down and was promised if I ever needed to cancel whether it be in 6 months time I’d get a refund for what I haven’t used, this is not the case at all - they will not refund you - not to mention the email costing £60 per user per year which is an absolute ripoff when you can get many more emails for less than half that price a year with many more options on control of your own domain swell!

    I had highlighted that I wanted to keep my monthly outgoings down to the web.com team who then sold me the custom Facebook page as if it was gold, I said that I'd try it for one month and that is it and if it's any good I'd come back to them in the future to continue it however I had stated after one month I do not want to continue due to being a start-up and not having the funds - the team assured me it would be stopped I paid £720 for the first month which included the setup fee, they then continued to take an extra 2 months - another £720 which they refuse to just kindly refund back the money that they had taken out of my account without any authorisation in such unprecedented times!

    I haven’t received a call or been shown this very expensive Facebook setup that I have paid for! I was told that the web chat they sell for £432 would look as if it's integrated into your own website supporting the design of it - this is clearly not the case at all, when you can use HubSpot for free with more features and looks a lot nicer it’s an obvious misspelling money maker for them!

    The lack of help from their customer facing employee and her team is absolutely eye opening - The Customer Facing Employee is apparently there to arbitrate but is actually there to see what web.com can get away with and have an answer for absolutely everything where web.com are never in the wrong. I came to web.com in a tough time and all they have done is ignore customer's requirements and have then tried to cover it up with misinformation and a lack of service. I have transferred my site elsewhere and they have still yet to refund me - they have only agreed to refund the unauthorised funds taken.

    In summary they misled me on sale, created something that I never asked for and on delivery when it wasn’t what I wanted, they take no responsibility to pay for their mistakes or make up for the inordinate amount of upset on my part. In such times you would think they would take into account a startup with limit funds cannot afford this issue they have created. Don’t waste your time if you're a business that needs results. I should have listened to the 1 star reviews!

    I have tried since March 30 to get Web.com to acknowledge a problem with my online email accounts that are tied to the web page they host. I have yet to talk to an actual person other than my first call and they tried to pass blame to GSuites. They were wrong and ever since they have either not responded to my requests for help when we called. Finally on April 9th in desperation I opened a new ticket to see if they would fix the problem. The web page promised that they would get back to me within 24 hours. I never received an email or call and I had left both options with them.

    Finally today I went online to see if the ticket was still open and it is closed. They had a message included that asked me to give the system 24 to 48 hours to reload there changes. Well it has been way over the 48 hours and still not working. I will be moving my web page to someone else. Some companies get way to big for a small account like mine.

    6 months straight of on-hold phone service, requesting $550 of refund for double billing and erroneous charges. All the Web.com representatives agreed it would be refunded each month, but the charges remained and the double billing continued. After no action taken from them after 6 months, I disputed the charges on my 2 credit cards. 4 days later, they shut down my website and email accounts, deleted them, and when I called in to get the service turned back on, the reps could not even find my account. After 4 hours on the phone with them that day, I was at the end of my rope, hung up and spent the rest of 2 days moving to GoDaddy.com. The worst customer service of my lifetime.
