Latest negative review	Shameless Business Feb. 27, 2021 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 4.0 User Friendly 4.0 Support 4.0 Features 2.0 We have been using Site5.com since 1996, as a small website design business we opted for the reseller account. For 24 months ... More we have suffered the decline of its support and its service in general. For more than a year, our CMS has been indicating that the version of PHP 7.2.26 on our servers was out of date and that it would soon be obsolete and no longer supported. Since then we have repeatedly contacted Site5 technical support requesting they to inform the date when they would update the PHP version. His answer was always not being able to guarantee when they would. About 4 months ago we were informed that the servers would not receive the PHP update and that we would inevitably have to switch to a higher plan with a higher price. Which we opposed and started migrating our websites, which would take us several months. Oh surprise, last month we received, without notice, an invoice with a 20% increase, when we claimed they informed us that we had to pay the adjustment. We took opportunity and asked again if with the increase they would update the version of PHP to what again they brazenly answered us that we should change to a higher plan. If this is not a shameless / scoundrel company, what can you call it?

More e create my own survey: Did the representative solve your problem? No Did the representative listen well enough to understand your problem? No Was the representative condescending? Yes Will you continue to use Squarespace services in the future? No a couple of months before my contract with Squarespace is up for renewal I will begin creating a site on an alternate platform. I am posting here because Squarespace is impossible to contact either by email or phone and redirects you to an annoying generic FAQ every time you try. Less
