I recently purchased hosting services… I recently purchased hosting services from WestHost to ensure my website stays live. However, my website has been down, causing significant disruption to my business. Despite trying to contact them via phone, I found no customer support available. Their chat support was unresponsive, and the email support was inadequate. As a result, my business suffered due to their lack of reliable service. Beware if you're considering dealing with these guys – they cannot be trusted to keep your website online.

Did a really stupid thing Did a really stupid thing. While cleaning up some really old email accounts, I deleted a very active email account. Support was able to restore it! Only one possible improvement -- I don't mind waiting my turn for support, but it's near impossible to NOT do anything else. It would be really helpful if you could find a way ring a bell or flash the text window when the tech is finally available.

Only Samson could help After months, and I mean months, of trying to get my domain to get and send emails, finally Samson was the only technician that could help me. I truly was about to go to GoDaddy because no one knew what they were doing. Samson knew right away. I wish I had got him as a tech months ago. An email should be sent out to everyone telling them how to fix someone that is having a problem like I was.

I was having trouble and needed support I called WestHost support with a technical and billing question. John Q was able to answer both. He suggested I change my plan to one that was 66% cheeper with greater flexibility. He spent quite a lot of time with me and never did I feel rushed. He was patient, polite, spoke clearly and to the point. I hung up feeling that I accomplished more than I had planned.

After 20+ years with Westhost After 20+ years with Westhost, I am currently locked out of all access to my domain and email, due to Westhost doing a migration of my email that forced a password reset. I'm supposed to log in to my control panel to change the email password, BUT that requires me to enter a 2FA code that is delivered by, you guessed it my email! My inaccessible email! Westhost has no available phone or website support for anyone who can't log in to their account! Edit* April 14th, 4 days later and I am still locked out of my email and Westhost control panel. Westhost support contacted me once asking for photo ID, which I sent, but no reply or action from them since then. Edit* April 16th - I was able to regain access to my email and domain accout today, after being locked out for a week due to incompetence by Westhost's email migration team. I'm raising my 1-star review to a 2-star, but that's it.
