Terrible service will ruin your business
What can I say I've never posted a complaint about a company before dealing with web.com the customer service and reliability are so reprehensible I'm baffled they've lost file of mine, lost me email service website has been down they've overcharged me. I run a business and of course i am going to change but have to wait until I can afford to have my service interrupted because I've also read complaints about how the hold your name hostage.
The customer service is just the icing on the cake is so awful you will just be mystified and outraged as you watch money gou down the drain if you run a business. Try to find one good review of web.com anywhere what can I say you've been warned!

Disabled our business web site
We have been on the web since 1994, and have been through several web hosts. Interland had been our longest-serving host (8 years), and was responsive to our needs. Interland provided immediate useful help 24/7 almost all the time. We last renewed our hosting contract with them in March 2006, signing up for an Advanced Linux host for 2 years and pre-paying to get the best price.
When web.com bought Interland, the service collapsed. Tech support answered the phone from the Phillipines, half a world away from the data center in Atlanta, and never knew anything. Their answer to every problem was "we'll escalate the problem and get back to you in 24 hours." Unacceptable as this was, they made it even more unacceptable by NEVER responding. Trouble tickets got closed with no action taken: sometimes they just mysteriously disappeared altogether with no explanation.
The last straw came when Web.com decided to "upgrade" our host (we did not ask for or want an "upgrade") and move our site to another server. They assured us that our SSL certificate and all the features of our current site would be preserved, and that we would have 30 days to examine the new site before they activated it and de-activated our old site so that they would not disrupt our on-line sales.
The move was an unmitigated disaster. They moved our site to an inferior new host, activated it and deactivated or old (working) host immediately with no notice. Suddenly we had no secure shell access, no FTP, no dedicated IP, and the entire site ran at HALF the speed of the "old" host. We were effectively shut down because we could not update or maintain our web site.
Calls and tickets to tech support got no action whatsoever. Tickets were closed with no meaningful resolution. Finally, after a WEEK of this foolishness, tech support admitted that they were unable to provide shell access. They are completely unable to explain why everything runs at half speed, and they have no clue how to provide the other site features which we bought and paid for.
Conclusion: Web.com has effectively destroyed Interland's hosting service, and has absolutely no business quality hosting service capability to offer. Their tech service incompetence and inability is matched only by large phone companies and Microsoft. You'd be better off with a local yokel running your host through a string and a pair of tin cans.
We're moving all three of our web sites to other providers this weekend.

Upcharged and Screwed
I had been a long-time Interland customer. They always let me know ahead of time when my credit card would be charged and how much. They would also let me know if my card was about to expire.
Web.com did none of the above, FAKED my expiration date (how it got through, I'll never know), AND raised my rates 50%. I called to complain 2 days after my card was charged and they said they would roll back to the old price and credit my card. They did...then charged the card back for the same amount as the credit.
I tried for three weeks to get in touch with someone...ANYONE. They would not answer their phones or email or trouble ticket. When I finally DID get in touch with someone, they said that they would be charging me (prorated) two months of service.
From what I've seen on this site, I'm not the only one that didn't get kissed...

Scam billing
This is a terrible service run by a bunch of crooks. They were over-charging me every month for simple web hosting so I decided to move my domain to GoDaddy, yet they continued to charge me for 2 months of hosting 0 websites! When I called the CSR was rude and abrupt. We'll see next billing cycle if they truly do cancel my account.
My 2 pieces of advice are:
1. If you are not currently a customer, consider going elsewhere.
2 If you already are and find they are charging you when they shouldn't be, change your credit card information in your web.com profile so they can't make automated withdrawals. Even if they don't execute your cancellation order they cannot legally charge your credit card if that information is no longer correct.

thieves
I thought I had cancelled my web.com account 16 months ago. Instead of cancelling, they lowered my rate to $59.95. I noticed I was being charged 69.95 by web.com for something I thought was cancelled. I called their billing department to ask for a credit and cancel my account. "Theresa" told me I would have to speak to their lifecycle department. I was transferred and specifically asked about receiving a credit. Lifecycle told me they would cancel the account and transfer me back to billing. After I got the cancellation #, I spoke with billing again (Theresa), who told me no credit could be issued since lifecycle had cancelled my account. I asked to speak to her supervisor but she would not allow me to talk to him. BUYER BEWARE!

Thieves and liars
I called in to pay for another year to keep my domain name up to date which was 19.95 and out of the blue with no warning they not only charged me the 19.95 the made a separate charge of 241.35 and I received no invoice or receipt for this charge. I called customer service and told them they had to return my money because I did not approve any payment for 241.35 and they told me that they would have to cancel my service. When I originally signed up with them I payed for 2 years up front and was completely up to date until July of 2009. Of course now they have no record of this and still have sent me no invoice on the 241.35 they charged me.
When they changed to Website Pros they have turned into a bunch of thieves and will suck every dime they can get from you without any warning or paperwork to back it up.
STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS!!!

Closing tickets and not resolving them!
What a nightmare. I had an account with Interland and had a few problems but they fixed them in a timely manner. I had an e-commerce site with shopping cart, constant contact etc. I was able to put 500 pictures on at a time. When Web.com took over. My site wouldn't load with 300 photos on it. They told me I could only have 200 photos on it. They talked me into doing the Miva Merchant thing in October 2007. They renamed my old site as... cancel.com and my new site was just .com. I went to take off my photos and put them on my new site. Well, they deleted my photos on my end but when you typed in my website you could see my site. I could not get into the site to make changes on my inventory. Mind you. They had no clue how to set up the Miva Merchant account. I struggled trying to set this up and finally gave up. Okay fine. when someone logged into my site they actually were connected to my old .cancel.com site. That was fine until I started running out of the clothes that were on there and people kept paying for them through Paypal.
Problem #2 - Web.com was charging me $105.00 for my old site, which was down on my end and $79.00 for my new site which was not even a working site. They were talking out an auto draw from my charge card. So I canceled the auto draw and got behind about 2 months. They called me and told me that I could get a refund if I made a payment of $79.00. I told them why should I make another $79.00 payment when I've been paying $184.00 a month for 2 non-working websites?
Problem #3 They agreed to give me back my money on the .cancel.com site, which I was paying $105. per month for. When they told me what my credit balance was ($470) it was for the Miva Merchant site that was $79.00 per month. Then they drew out $158.00 for 2 months of web hosting that I was behind on. WHAT WEB HOSTING??? THAT IS WHAT MY COMPLAINT WAS.
I opened a ticket and told them I wanted a full credit for both sites dating back to October. This totaled $1104.00 and for them to cancel my website. They closed the ticket and said that they were sorry that I didn't want to be a Web.com customer any longer. And if I had any other questions to reopen the ticket. I tried and my domain name was gone so I couldn't get into their site to reopen the ticket. I called them and guess what??? I have another open ticket.
Since October, every time I opened a ticket, they would close it and not resolve the problem. I kept calling tech support and they were all from the Philappines and had no clue what I was talking about. They would turn the ticket over to tech support and said they would get back to me within 48 hrs. Nothing ever got resolved they would just close the ticket again. I would reopen it and they would close it.

Terrible customer service!
Rude, cocky inconsiderate attitudes, continually from the foreign Customers Service Dept, that is being used for the support of web hosted accounts at WEB.COM. I called to inform web.com that I was receiving an error with their mail server. Colette answered, and was the rudest support rep that I have encountered in the 12 years of being with Interland, prior to web.com acquisition. If this is a trend, of how web.com wants to treat their long time paying customers, I would expect their stock investors, to look elsewhere to invest their money. This customer service company doesn't deserve their contract.
They defiantly should have a talk with their customer service contractor (in Asia somewhere) about how to treat their paying customers. A Big Fat "F" for a Fckd Up Customer Service Rep.

No Service from Web.com!
I have had the most horrendous 6 months dealing with Web.com. They made server changes which caused my SSI tags to stop functioning (hence, I could not take orders on my site) and for the past 6 months I have been desperately trying to get them to permanently fix the issue. They do nothing but give me the run around. (open a tech ticket, close it- even though the problem is not resolved- promise a call back and never call, etc) I am finally taking the hours and hours it takes to change hosts- but only after much frustration! How can a company blatantly ignore its customer issues? Argh! And when I searched the net, I found they had done the same thing to many other customers. Beware of Web.com!

Wont cancel account
So i've had over 15 different website hosted with web.com and ever since they bought interland.com there service has gone down hill... I wanted to cancel a web hosting plan that was no longer a client. Since it was 5 days past the renewal date they wont let me cancel and want to charge me a "termination fee" . What is with this.. .All I get from support is canned answers and I have to "talk" to billing.. I ve email several people in Tech support and it seems no one cares... WEB.COM support is terrible... they dont care about existing clients and seem not to care about retaining business. Stay away!
