Their chat support agents do not read your problem. You have...More to repeat yourself at least 3 times before they 'understand the problem'. Then, they still do not understand the problem. 3. They do not support Safari login for CPanel. Their response is to use clear your cache. Then, to use Chrome. Nowhere is this mentioned on their website or in pre-sales material. Nowhere is this mentioned in their Knowledge Base. 4. Their support has caused me more headaches and migraines than the number of problems they've been able to solve. Don't do it. Less	scammers RUN!
