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?

Database Cannot Connect Error Our website was getting a Database Cannot Connect error. Daniel N was very friendly, researched the issue, kept me in the loop, and resolved the problem. I want to commend Daniel N's services. Toastmasters/District 39 has been with WestHost for many years and you have provided stellar services. Thank you.

It's now been a week and no resolution… It's now been a week and no resolution from Westhost. My email servers still dont work and its costing me business. Received a few unhelpful emails, nothing to address the problems. They said they have too many service tickets so they cant call to help me, but if I email my exact issues they will help. I sent multiple emails to the address the auto responder sent to me here, but no response. I did receive an email telling me that I had opened too many service tickets and I'm not being helpful?!? but in that email didnt address the issues or try to help. What a useless company . They take your money, cause problems and then hide! beware and stay away from Westhost!!

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.

Scott L Scott L. was extremely helpful to assist me with switching back and forth between PHP 7.4 and 8.0 to identify issues we were having with a WP theme. We were able to expose issues with the theme to confirm our assumptions it is time to migrate to a new WP theme that is more compatible and supported by developers for PHP 8.0. Scott was patient, willing, and articulate and providing easy clear support.
