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.

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.

Westhost is a nightmare Westhost sends an email saying, "congratulations, your website migration is complete and was successful." Not until several screenloads below does the email say that you must take action within just 7 days or they will take down your website and delete your emails. No forewarning. No urgent reminders. No subject line warning. Furthermore, it says that you must update your DNS records but not exactly what changes to make. The email migration itself causes problems, with email readers on windows, Android, and Apple not correctly reflecting folders and their contents. In short, a nightmare. Yet you cannot get though to costumer support by chat, phone, or email, which is undoubtedly flooded from the mess they have created for their customers. At the same time, hosting prices are rising. In short, time for a new host. Suggestions?

WestHost tech support is great WestHost tech support is ALWAYS saving me. They are knowledgeable, fast, friendly, and they get the problem solved quickly while teaching me a little something more each time when I have questions. Oh, I left out patient! Because I'm only moderately tech savvy, they are able to answer my questions at my level of understanding. Great support is why I stick with WestHost.
