In reviewing this customer’s complaint there appears to be amisunderstanding as to the scope of support of which our personnel wouldprovideFirstly with respect to the functionality of our File Manger, wereviewed this customer’s account and do agree they have a considerable amountof files be
utilized on the accountIn this case we would actually recommendthis customer to access their files via FTP versus the File Manager.Unfortunately there are occurrences where the File Manager may loadconsiderably slower simply due to the number of files on the accountAccessingfiles via FTP will allow the customer to accomplish their task at a muchquicker rate, as the File Manager can only process so much before a delay insystem processing can be seenWith regards to scope of support, please understand that our Support Teamsare here to assist with customer inquiries such as email connectivity,accessing account system tools, questions regarding the utilization ofadditional products/services, and domain related issuesWhen it comes tohosting a website, it is our responsibility as a host to make sure the server,of which the customer’s account is connected to have network connectivity,allowing the site to be accessed throughout the webSpecifically with this customer, their issues appear to be more codingrelated, and database functionality related versus server performance.Unfortunately the items mentioned in this customer’s complaint would beconsidered outside of our scope of supportOur support personnel are notcoders, website programmers, site admin, nor are we developersThis customer’ssite inquiries would be better suited for a site developer or programmer asopposed to asking our teams for assistance to their coding/database relatedinquiresLastly, we would like to mention that although we are an Open-Sourcefriendly platform, it is simply not realistic for our teams to know everysingle web program or application used through Open-Source technology

Three things I'm not satisfied with:I sent requests to cancel several times and also called several times to cancel, it finally got cancelledBecause the long cancellation process, I got charged after I ask for cancellationI only gave my payment information (credit card information) to Ipage, after I got extra charge, I was told that refund will be issued, but then I was told that I need to contact seogear directly to get refundShall ipage handle the refund process because it is ipage who charge me?Seogear does a black box seo, i.eI was told what have been done, but seogear refused to share any evidence (links built)Ipage should not recommend such service to customers.The expected result: I hope Ipage can solve the refund problem for meBecause the bad recommendation of the SEO company (seogear), I waste both money and time - it makes my company missed the holiday season totallyI at least, shall get apologies from ipage for both the bad recommendation and the bad experience to cancel the seo service

For the issues and anxiety and stress I have endured, plus the fact that I've had to contact the Revdex.com just to retrieve an answer, I believe a refund for services not received from April until this issue is resolved is in order

Thank you for the opportunity to address this complaint.According to our records, the customer has been unsubscribed from all marketing emailsOnce a customer unsubscribes from our mailing lists we have days to process the request in accordance with the CAN-SPAM actOccasionally a customer may
receive a marketing email shortly after they have unsubscribed using the subscription tool in the control panelHowever, after the day period has ended, they should no longer receive marketing emails from usAs we just recently removed the customer from our marketing email list, there is a small chance that he might still receive a few more marketing related emailsHowever, after days, he should no longer receive any marketing related emailsPlease note the customer will still receive invoices and other notifications relevant to his account

I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # ***Please add your rejection comments below. I am rejecting the response because I never had an issue with the auto renewalThe response makes it sound like I was upset because my account was auto renewedOnce again that was not the issue, as I have since renewed my services for over double the amount they were charging as I was looking to upgrade my websiteMy issue was that they told me their policy was such that if I requested a refund of the renewal, which they said they were happy to do, that they would have to cancel my website immediately and not honor our original contract.Even though they have now refunded my money a stated they would honor our contract, my issue is still the same, they threatened to shut down my website, which I need for business and I couldn't speak with anyone regarding this and for the record the only reason they did reach out to me was thanks to the Revdex.com complaint.I am however happy that they have agreed to honor our original terms

I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does satisfy my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint #***, with only one important point of clarificationContrary to the computer data, I never submitted a purchase and never submitted authorization to process my credit card, and never purchased a domain Therefore, from my perspective There never should have been a domain registered for me and thus, no services I understand that by choosing to accept the business response that my complaint will be closed as resolvedI appreciate the resolution and the timeliness

We were able to locate the account username "cloversandclothes"which this customer continued to be billedWe have reviewed the account logsand unfortunately do not see any indication of a previous account cancellationrequest, which would explain why this customer had continued to be billedItis
for this reason that we would not be able to issue a full refund of $53.98each month billed dating back to February of 2014.With this being said, we have issued a refund of $for the last threemonths being billed totaling $processed back to this customer’s creditcardPlease allow up to to business days for the refunds to be processedback to your cadAdditionally, if this customer does have any physical proofof a cancellation request dated February of or prior to, we have requestedthe customer to forward any such documentation to us as we will be glad toreconsider our position at that pointWe have since processed an immediateclosure of this customer’s account

No business has the right to try to change the course of a business transaction. If a customer is not satisfied with the purchase, he/she has the right to get a refund, and this is a strongly established and standard business tradition in America. So this proposed outcome by ipage is totally unacceptable, and Revdex.com must consider this complaint unresolved until they refund $to me. I am now retired, but was a computer programmer prior to retirement. I did business application programming, but I did not do web programming. Since I am not very experienced at web programming, I did not clearly understand what I was paying for as I explained in my original complaint which should easily enable me to receive this refund. However, because of my extensive work as a programmer, I know that any electronic transaction is relatively easy to change, and is generally easier to change than a business transaction that involves paperwork. I believe this is a matter of greed on the part of ipage, and they don't want to have to go through the process of crediting the two years ($31.98) that I requested. As a by product of my interest and participation in the world of personal computers (***), I have been a member of the *** *** *** ** ** Users (***) whose membership has been more than 10,members, most of which are in the Houston, TX area. So I know quite a few programmers, and some of them are web programmers. We exchange important technical and vendor information on a regular basis. As a result, they have their influence on me by what they tell me, and I have an influence on them by what I tell them. And word of mouth from those conversations tend to keep going throughout the U.S.A. If ipage credits the $to me as they should (especially since *** told me he would), then I will say only positive things about ipage; but if they still refuse to, then I will simply share my experience by simply stating the truth without any exaggerations or bias, and that potentially could cost ipage lots of potential customers and therefore a lot more than the $I insist on receiving from ipage. Thank you for your help
