- My ssl certificate never was secure with the transfer - My emails asking for customer support weren't going through to them - My website was getting constant spamming comments after moving over to their hosting - My website crashed for 3+ hours on back to back days - slow service because no one is based in the US I ended up just going back to siteground.

This place literally had my website crashed for back to back days and couldn't figure it out. I hate everything about this company and would suggest to not work with them! |
