Not only did you NOT RESOLVE MY EMAIL ISSUE AFTER 2 MONTHS (this was caused by YOU changing servers) but then you IGNORED my secure message to CLOSE MY ACCOUNT, and proceeded to TAKE MY MONEY from my VISA card, even though there was a STOP ORDER on the payment at SUNCORP bank.
When I rang customer service and asked to escalate the complaint to a supervisor, I was told there was no one available.

I have been with them for 15 years-they dod an upgrade and now my website doesn’t even load. 2 support tickets later - no communication whatsoever. Pretty disappointing!

Since changing hands to foreign owners.. This company has not only broken our entire hosting and workflow, their support is NON-EXISTENT. I have now called several times, waited over 30 mins on hold and had the calls just magically disconnect every time. The online chat says "You will need to wait a minute for service" that 30 mins later turns into "Your wait time is now 10 minutes" then every 10 minutes repeats with "Your wait is 10 minutes".
When you do reach a rep (I've had to make several calls) they literally prompt some AI agent or a sorely flogged out experienced person who is literally helping every inexperienced rep who answers the phone.
I did remove my previous 1 star review but again.. issues persist. there is no solutions and promises that were made simply aren't happening.
Please avoid Digital Paciifc.
Oh and before you" copy/pastes the same review reply message they have for everyone else, please don't bother. Your company is completely cooked since digital pacific sold offshore.

Simple and complex problems always persist, however the support team at DP promptly resolves these matters, regardless in these awkward times its great to have reliable support when needed.

I have asked a number of times to review my account and websites. Yet almost two month later still no information based on a phone conversation. I gave a ticket about this and asked for a manager or senior supervisor to contact me yet still nothing.

Have been with Digital Pacific for over 13 years. DP used to be awesome. Really good support, based in Australia. They were more expensive, but it was worth it. Now, they are still more expensive, but support is horrible. Now you wait over an hour to speak to someone in the Philippines who doesn't even understand the technical issue I need help with.

Digital Pacific used to be a good service. Not anymore. I have been trying to update my website and I can't get in. I contacted tech support and have been on hold for 2 hours now. I will now have to look at other companies in Oz.

Following a recent infrastructure migration by Digital Pacific, we have experienced multiple issues affecting services and account functionality. Since the migration, we have raised several support requests and currently have five unresolved tickets.
Response times have been slow, with tickets sitting in “Awaiting INC” for extended periods, and follow-up has been difficult. Attempts to contact support by phone have also involved lengthy hold times (over an hour in most cases).
The main concern is not any single issue, but the combination of:
• multiple post-migration problems
• five open unresolved tickets
• delayed or limited communication
• difficulty contacting support
When migrations for business services occur, timely communication and responsive support are critical. At the moment, it has been challenging to obtain updates or resolution.
Hoping to see improvements in responsiveness and follow-through.
The oldest ticket was opened 16th February, over 5 weeks ago!

EDITED TO ADD
Don't be fooled by the copy and paste answer on my post from DP that is the same on EVERY post here.
I DID go complain to your reviews@ address as well as billing@ and support@, that was on 20 March and STILL no resolution. I can't even easily move my files due to all the timeouts. Utterly and totally disgraceful.
I have been a loyal customer for over 15 years, currently with 20 sites hosted.
I have put up with their fall in service since moving seemingly everything offshore as I still could manage the features I wanted to manage.
They have completely lost the plot. I have been working for 2 weeks now trying to get them to do anything. I can understand that sometimes faults occur, but to not have them fixed after weeks on end, and these aren't small faults! They are massive faults affecting my sites, many are broken and if I had access to their server config I could fix this myself.
I have now signed up with a new host, problem is, I can't backup sites to transfer them and even if I try a file by file download, I get time outs. I'm effectively stuffed. I am now waiting for the 5th day in a row to see if anyone will come on chat. They aren't answering tickets and they actually deleted 7 tickets!
My next move will have to be legal action I guess. Its insane!

Reply from Digital Pacific
just overall poor service. They break your site with modsecurity settings and you can't contact them because they don't answer and their security blocks you from actually submitting a ticket.

The recent cPanel migration has bee a total failure. I have had my customers emails failing, websites not working, databases stop working and I still have a site that has now been down for over a week. Every day I call them the promise to fix the issue and to get back to me once it has been fixed. Its still not working a week later and no replies to my emails nor does anyone call me back. I call them every day and on average I have been on hold for 2 or 3 hours before they answer my call.
TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE !!

Such poor customer service! I was with Digital Pacific for 10 years and never had a problem, then suddenly my website went down after an update (which I was told would not affect my site) and I was completely unable to reach them for days on end. I tried calling, emailing, and getting a support ticket and four days later I still haven't heard a thing. In desperation I've had to change providers. I just can't believe they have gone completely MIA with no regard for their loyal customers! Definitely do not recommend!

Very disappointing and costly experience.
What was meant to be a 4-hour maintenance window turned into 7+ days of website downtime and ongoing issues. Even now, the site is not functioning correctly, with missing pages and display errors.
Support has been extremely difficult to deal with — slow responses, no accountability, and no follow-through on promised call backs.
To make matters worse, I’ve repeatedly been told the website is “fine” when it clearly isn’t.
This has cost my business thousands in lost revenue, and I’m still chasing both a proper fix and compensation.
Would not recommend based on this experience.

Used to be good when it was Australia based, but now all help desk outsourced overseas - long wait times (1hr+) for support.

Reply from Digital Pacific
Their support is appalling and the setup of my VPS service still is not working. They say whilst on the phone on hold to support that for quick service, use their support chat, it is even slower in reality.
Avoid these guys

62+ Hours since the server upgrade that will have "minimal impact" on our services was "completed". No emails, no websites, minimal support since. There are about 2 people at Digital Pacific that know what they're doing and they don't have the access they need to fix all the problems.
I have several unanswered support tickets, I've lost about 24 hours in total so far working on this, much of that sitting on hold trying to get through to tech support.
Avoid their "Quick chat" at all costs. I had a chat opened yesterday for 3 hours. A very detailed description sitting in that chat. I stepped away from my screen for 10min and during that time someone from Digital Pacific entered the chat, asked if I was there, gave me 60 seconds to respond and closed the chat... all they had to do way read my previous message and start working through the issue.
Digital Pacific is owned by Newfold Digital now, the CEO Sharon Rowlands who is steering this ship, clearly is trying to destroy the brand for some reason. Whatever costs they are trying to save, they will lose ten-fold in customers who leave.
I would avoid Digital Pacific and any company owned by Newfold at all costs.

Company is not Australian owned nor operated.
Now owned or controlled by scammers. We set up a new email address for new staff member. 72 hours later he was scammed, scammers knew my name, his name, his phone number and my phone number. The ONLY place that had those details was Digital Pacific Tech Support

Reply from Digital Pacific
Site down 5 days now! I agree with Cat's review..
Before Easter is a busy time for sales and your tech support just does not cut it. Phone support just sends you to the online chat and after spending an initial 2 hours in a queue 2 days ago, it's useless! Open for phone support at 6am but site says 7am and still no human taking the call. Losing orders, people buying elsewhere, loss in sales and frustration after a decade of hosting with you.
Maybe it's time to look elsewhere? I wanted an Aussie company, which I am told you no longer are. Tech support used to be great, but it seems you have forgotten the small busiinesses who rely on you.

They announced maintenance at 15:00 Perth time
All my customers are Perth based
And they also go and do it on a Monday
Now I have a website that is old content and I have been on hold for 45, 60 and now over 108 mins (current call at 108mins is still not answered
This company is terrible and I agree with all other reviews. Used to be great great customer support that was very rarely required
I will be leaving
No chats are ever answered
FYI call is up to 2hrs now and not answered
No A records in the CPanels
It is an absolute disaster
I have logged 3 tickets and 1 has been answered saying everything is OK
IT is NOT OK the website that is live is a 4 year old website
Not sure how you got this so wrong

After more than 15 years as a reseller client, I can confidently say the service from Digital Pacific has deteriorated to an unacceptable level.
Support is effectively non-existent. Phone wait times regularly exceed 3 hours, and support tickets go unanswered for days. This is not just inconvenient—it has had a direct and damaging impact on my business and my clients, eroding trust and credibility that has taken years to build.
The recent server migration on 16 March 2026 was the final straw. Multiple websites were broken, hosting accounts went missing, and client emails were lost. These are not minor issues—these are critical failures that no hosting provider should allow to happen, let alone handle so poorly afterward.
What is most concerning is not just the issues themselves, but the lack of communication, accountability, and urgency in resolving them.
I can no longer justify keeping my business with a provider that puts my clients at risk. I will be moving all services elsewhere and strongly recommend others consider doing the same before experiencing similar disruptions.
