I have called the customer service line many times over the course of a year to cancel the account, which they don't let you do online. They never did and continued to charge me. This is theft. I contacted chat support yesterday when I was told it was an option and was told to report this as an abuse? I just want all my money back and my account canceled. We never used the account and I've been calling since January 2024. This is theft.Initial Complaint

i went the company for them to build me a website and and my website keeps crashing. I pay for a service for them to fix it and they say its fixed and its not. I call them every morning to work with the design team that I also pay for and they say I have to call the web.com people because they have to fix it. They keep giving me the run around but they charge me monthly to host my website for maintance and they are not keeping it or fixing it. they keep taking my $100 dollars and I can use my website. I haven't been able to use my website since the made my website public because I cant install the plugin.

This is an online domain name renewal service. In 2024 they price gouged me but I was forced to renew because I was stuck. My term for the 2024 renewal ended on 2/13/25. On 2/12 - I SHUT OFF auto renew. I have been charged for these services which I do not want. This company has changed and their policies leave a lot to be desired. The price ***** is in the hundreds of dollars and I have been able to renew with another service for around 20 per domain. At this point I want the following from them:1) My credit card removed from their system 2) credit back for any changes they made this year I will also be in touch with my credit card company to file a dispute and will also file a compliant with my state attorney general. I had been with this company for some time and whatever business changes they made in the past two years are terrible. This company needs to be watched. All of these online subscription style services scrutiny over their billing practices so consumers have good rights.Initial Complaint

- 1/31: transaction debited from my paypal account with no reminder or explanation from company when my routine subscription payments were $4/mo - I contacted Web.com on 1/31 via their online chat requesting a refund and a cancellation of my services, to which I was told a refund would be issued by the accounting team. - I received no notice from web.com regarding my request for several days, at which point I disputed the charge with PayPal. - I called Web.com back requesting an updated status on my refund, to which they replied telling me that a refund had been issued, but the transaction was declined due to my disputing the charge with PayPal. - PayPal closes the case in favor of Web.com; so I called web.com back and they tell me again that the refund was issued and they had not received their funds back from PayPal, so I would need to contact PayPal to sort out the issue. - I call PayPal on 2/13 and they tell me that no refund has been issued on the part of the seller. At this point, Web.com has still not supplied confirmation of my refund in any way. I have reopened an appeal with PayPal to dispute the transaction as of 2/13.Initial Complaint

On December 1st,2024 I contacted ************ regarding website hosting and domain register.They were advertising 5 year plans which included protection, website hosting and domain register for the amount of $285.00.They wound up charging my credit card $191.88 which will only covered web hosting and charged my card another $46.17 on 2/10/25 for the domain name and another charge of $6.00 on 12/29/24 . This is not at all what they were advertising or what was ever agreed upon.On January 3rd I thought I straighten this out by speaking with person name ***** who's email is *********************** ***** agreed to the 5 year plan which included web hosting domain renewal and protection and said that he would refund my payment of $191.88, this never happened to this day. I emailed ***** on January 13th 2025 with no response and again on January ******* . Also tried contacting them again on February 10 regarding this matter once again have not gotten a response back.Initial Complaint

I am filing a complaint against Web.com for deceptive billing practices regarding their ********************** I was charged a monthly fee of $2.50 for this service, which was not easily visible in my account or explicitly disclosed. I was misled into believing that I could manage or cancel this service through the "Renewal Section" of my account, as stated in their email. However, when I tried to access the renewal section, the service did not appear, making it impossible for me to cancel the subscription until I had already been charged multiple times.Web.com claims that the ********************* will only appear in the renewal section just before the renewal date, but this creates a situation where customers are continually charged without realizing it, and it is not possible to cancel until it is too late. The companys refusal to issue refunds for these monthly charges is another troubling aspect of their business practices. They have stated that they do not issue refunds on monthly services, even though the service was not clearly disclosed or easily manageable.This practice is harmful to consumers, as it takes advantage of individuals who may not notice the charges for an extended period of time. This is especially concerning given the number of customers ********************** serves. While the charges are small, they add up significantly over time, and there is a strong likelihood that many customers are unknowingly being billed for a service they do not want or use.I believe Web.com is engaging in deceptive practices that violate consumer protection laws, specifically regarding auto-renewal and the ability to easily cancel subscriptions.Initial Complaint

On 12/4/42 we paid Web.com for SEO,SSL and ********************* Immediately, their attempt to provide Web Hosting failed. Our website is destroyed and not visible to potential customers anymore. I have the same issues as all of the other complaints that I read. No response from the company. Obviously calling another country when you call with employees who barely speak English. Every time you call, you go through hours of delays just to be told that you have the wrong department, even though you gave a clear description of why you are calling. The original sales **** ***** ******** was very eager to take our money but, will not return emails or calls. Every time you ask for a senior manager, you get some type of excuse that they can't do that. Now, we are going on a month with a website that, they didn't build, and anyone searching on ****** for our products can't find us. If you click on our name, you won't see our website. All you see is a bunch of computer code. If this company was legitimate, they would test your site after they claim that they know how to host a website. I've called and, spent hours on the phone now for a month and, the same thing happens every day. I've been trying to get a corporate phone number. All listed number you find are disconnected or not working. All others go straight back to the sales departments in ***** and *****. Please STAY AWAY from this companyInitial Complaint

My domain *********** is supposed to forward to the************** but it has not worked and I have been paying for this for over two months. I keep calling and getting representatives who say the situation has been fixed, but it has not and this has been over two months. Again, I am paying for service that does not work and no one seems to be able to fix it.Customer Answer

Hello! The company actually did respond to me and they fixed the issue. Everything is working fine now. Obviously, the company should have communicated with the BBB, but they certainly did with me and fix the problem. Thank you for your assistance.
