Don't go with Site5. You've been warned.
Site5 forced a charge on my credit card of $340.83 to renew my subscription, but claimed they never received my payment. It took 5 months for them to realize that I did pay them. I already had gone somewhere else. Why would I pay them again? Even though, it was their fault, they still don't want to give me a refund. Unprofessional, completely bad business ethics, and no telephone number to talk to anyone. Don't go with Site5!

I have messaged Siteat least times to resolve my issueI needed to downgrade my service to one website and once I realized that I wouldn't be able to recoup any costs from the "nicer" plan, I decided to wait until that contract expiredFrom January to June of this year, I thought I was using the old contractHowever, when I login to reinitiate the downgrade process, I'm told I already have a "downgraded" plan that's been active for monthsI worked with the agent to resolve my issue and requested a refund for the month period where I double paid, after having specifically told them not to do thatNo big dealStuff happens I waited for the refundI messaged them again and had to explain it all againUnderstandably, the agent wasn't entirely clear on my issueI asked them to review the previous records and get back to meThey didn'tI messaged againThis time (and I do believe it was a honest mistake), my entire site was down due to a small error (mine or theirs, I

To whom it may concern, We are filing complaint against Sitewho is currently holding are account hostageWe were originally with [redacted] for are domain service and were suddenly moved to a company called Sitewithout any prior notification or warningWe only found out when both our website and emails service suddenly stopped and crashed; the same day of the unannounced move in early FebruaryIt took us hours to even find out where our service went We then attempted to contact Site(which has no phone support) only to be greeted by bots instead of any real time chatWe had to hire an IT to fix all the issues with our numerous domain issuesIt took months for us to do are hosting internally to move away from this siteWe then attempted to cancel our account with Sitewhom we have had no prior agreement or contract withThe chat agent I communicated with on 7/20/assured me after opening a hidden link to cancel the account that they would promptly close th

Good Afternoon,We are sorry to hear that [redacted] ’s site has been suspended for such an extended period of timeAfter looking into the matter we do see that the infected files that caused the original suspension were removed and those restrictions were liftedHowever, there was another set of restrictions that were placed on the account in a non-standard manner that were not liftedThese secondary restrictions were not able to be removed by our live support and unfortunately due to a long ticket queue for our Security Team the resolution of this manner was delayedWe have had our management team follwith [redacted] in the ticket he had open related to this matter as well to inform him of these details.At this time the restrictions have been lifted and we were able to load [redacted] ’s site both directly in our browsers and via proxy serversThere does appear to be some residual damage from the infection as at least one of the reported infected files was related to the site’s theme which seems to be loading improperly at this point in time.With regard to compensation, due to the extended wait time to have this matter properly addressed by our staff we have applied a month extension to the renewal date of [redacted] ’s hosting package moving the renewal date from 09/24/to 01/24/Again we do apologize for the inconvenience that this situation has caused for [redacted] and we appreciate [redacted] ’s patience and understanding in working with us on this matter.We hope this has resolved the situation but if we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to let us know

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:The issue has NOT been fixedThey refuse to explain what they did to foul up the services I pay them for.There has been no callback to me even after giving sitea number and times to contact me.Site has been terribly mismanaged since selling out the EGI.They do not seem to care about their customersI have been with them for 8+ yearsI still have clients without email due to their incompetence Sincerely, [redacted]

On October 3, 2017, I purchased a shared hosting package with a year subscription from site5.comBefore purchase I confirmed with their sales department via chat that their service included free migration of all website and email filesOn octI initiated a file migration from my previous web hosting companyI was given conflicting information about why the service could not be completed On October 3, I also received a ticket from Site5.com stating that I had another account with them (which I did not sign up for, nor do I have any record of) and I expressed that I was concerned I had been charged twice as I had received conflicting email confirmations/invoice numbersI was assured I was not charged twice On October 4, they informed me that they could not migrate my files for free and directed me to a page on their site that explicitly stated that all files would be migrated for freeI asked for foll On Oct 10, two charges for identical amounts

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me However, this is a case that should have been resolved by Site5's customer service team (Billing), rather than been escalated to Revdex.comThe weird thing is that none in the customer service team seemed to be able to comprehend that it is not acceptable having one price advertised on your website ($monthly) but having a different price charged in reality ($monthly) - the explanation provided by the business is simply an excuse to justify the mess caused; if this explanation was true, there should be two lines in their invoices (one for the main service and one for the apackage) rather than oneWhen I raised the issue for resolution, their customer service came up with any ridiculous explanation they could make up for the fact, rather than taking the effort to investigate the issue in some depthIf I hadn't brought the issue to Revdex.com, I (and probably quite a few others) would continue to be charged with $per month Sincerely, [redacted]

Good Afternoon,We would like to apologize for the issues Mr [redacted] experienced while trying to get his account set up, and dedicated IP address assignedAs there is a global shortage of IPvIP addresses we are moving towards utilizing SNI for SSL certificates on our serversWe have recently updated our website to remove the phone numbers listed, and also to correct the product that included the dedicated IP addressUnfortunately, this correction was not applied at the time Mr [redacted] purchased his account.As he is within our day money back guarantee, Mr [redacted] is eligible for a full refund on his accountWe only need for him to submit a cancellation request from within his billing account for security purposesWe have reached out to Mr [redacted] and asked that he submit a formal cancellation request, once this has been received we can complete the cancellation and refund process

We host our website and email through Site5 over the last Month we have had continuous server connection issues. I have had to chat a minimum of 3 x a week with them to resolve the issue for a few hours at a time. Over 50 employees lose access to email and our company website goes dark. They do not have phone support so I cannot call anyone. Every chat agent has zero to limited access so they themselves are unable to fix the problem. They refer all issues to a senior admin and never permanently fix the, I have done my absolute do diligence and am at a point at where I am paying for a service I am not getting.

I'm another unhappy customer of SiteI too was migrated from IX Web HostingI thought they were mediocre, but Sitehas set the bar way lowerMy web site won't work from MY OWN networkMy FTP sites that my customers use to send me work don't function they way they did at IX and they don't support encryption like IX didAll the while when I was notified of the switch to Sitethe email said "Don’t worry, your data and settings will stay the same." Oh how I wish Unless you love having endless headaches, DO NOT sign up with this company, their support is terribleChat onlyIt's impossible to speak with anyone

Sitemade an unauthorized charge of $to my credit card that I never gave to themThey purchased IXWebHosting and stole my personal data to charge me for services I do not use and never agreed toThey held my domain name I had with IXWebHosting hostage and when I contacted them to get my domain name released so I could use another companyThis is what they told me: "We did check your account and looks like your domain has already expired on 03/30/and we cannot generate an EPP/Auth Code if the domain is expiredEPP/Auth Code can be generated only for an active domain So you can either renew the domain and then transfer over to new registrar or (this is not a recommended process) let the domain expiry completely and have it registered when it is available for purchase again (risk of loosing the domain if someone else purchase)" I do not appreciate being ambushed with an imposed change I didn't agree to Since they decided to take my domain name hostage becaus
