Webcentral - Poor experience all round

On one occasion, they shut down a domain because they wanted me to confirm my address. Regularly the server has apalling performance. Then billed a renewal at 6 x the original cost 3 days before expiry and made me jump through hoops to get a refund - had to complain to Paypal. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

Hi Wade,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet expectations.

Please note that all domains undergo verification as part of standard industry security practices designed to help protect domain ownership and account integrity. We understand how important it is for clients to have reliable and uninterrupted services, and we always aim to provide a dependable hosting experience. To help avoid unintended expiration or service interruption, auto-renewal is available as an optional feature clients can enable for their products. Additionally, invoices containing complete renewal details are always sent in advance so clients have time to review and decide how they wish to manage their services with us.

We’ve located your account and support ticket, and we’ll have this reviewed further. We'll reach out to you on your ticket shortly to follow up.

Web chat support is great

Web chat works very well. The AI agent quickly classified my query and passed me onto a real person. Then they were able to solve my issue within 30 mins. Great support.

Web central recently lost my web site

Web central recently lost my web site. I have requested a refund of the past years hosting fees so I can use the funds to rebuild. I am not a big customer, but a customer none the less. They are happy to process a refund and cancel all my services. Wow....excellent customer retention strategy

I almost feel like I am being blackmailed.

Leaves a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

Highly recommended. Support is top knotch!

Support is so important when you actually need the help. And 10/10 support experience here. Even the bot was great. But when I asked for a human, straight away, and resolved. Highly recommended. Thank you Alex.

Fabulous service

From the online chat, (which was also helpful), I was redirected to Zahra, who turned the whole frustrating problem into a solution. She was clear, gave screenshots, extremely patient and spent a lot of time helping me to get our FTP up and running. Brilliant - I will be confident to use this service again. Thank you

Honestly the worst company

Honestly the worst company to host a domain with.
Support won't budge when you're on a deadline nor do they care about longtime customers that are spending thousands yearly on domains with them.
The switch over from whatever bs domain they had originally was so janky that I had to beg support to resolve a DNS issue.

Overall, terrible customer service, constant downtimes and they don't care about the customer.

Hello Adimas,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. My name is Hernan from the Customer Advocacy team, and I’ll be personally reviewing your case to ensure your concerns are properly addressed.

We place a strong focus on delivering consistent, high-quality support, with customer experience at the center of everything we do. Based on what you’ve shared, it’s clear this did not reflect the level of service we aim to provide, and I’d like to take a closer look into what happened.

To move forward, I’ve reached out to request a few details so I can locate your account and review your previous interactions thoroughly.

Once I have that, I’ll be able to provide clear answers and work toward a resolution.

We’re here to support you, and I’ll do everything I can to restore your confidence in our service.

Warm regards,
Hernan, Customer Advocacy.

Bad day. General Good service

Previously I have been very happy with webcental support.

Webcentral: Please add the following comments to your feedback/ improvement channels. When asked your agents did not give me any means to lodge these comments. Here you go.
Today I'm anxious, concerned, and surprised by an outage. There should be mechanisms to apprise your customers of any service problems.
Also the Chat is time consuming for all concerned - especially when previously having to re-iterate previously supplied details.
