Latest negative review	Worst customer service Sep. 24, 2019 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 8.0 User Friendly 8.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 Their customer support is terrible. First an agent lead me to delete my website when I called to get a refund for a product I... More wasn't using. Then, when I called to retrieve it, I was told I'd have to pay 150$ for their employee's mistake! They told me they would review the case and get back to me in 3 days. It's now been 3 WEEKS. I've called multiple times trying to get a hold of Zane Huether and agents refused to transfer me or hold until he gets back to me. Months of work has been lost. AVOID AT AL COST.
