the Support is never there

the Support is never there - we run are a company that relies on emails that are always down- you call and no one answers the phones no matter what department - they live chat says we answer immediately and they don't, they play a big game but i assume its a one person operation with a flashy website and phone lines that don't even ring - i've left messages that never get answered - there are a lot of other options out there - choose someone else

Unacceptable My access to my Bjerke.ca…

Unacceptable My access to my Bjerke.ca site and Cpanel were not acceptable with errors and invalid responses. I have been with Sibername for several years, but it seems like it is time for a change. With the service or I should say NON-service that I have encountered this past month is NOT acceptable so I will be looking for another Service Provided. Regards Floyd Bjerke @ bjerke.ca

Sibername used to be a wonderful web…

Sibername used to be a wonderful web hosting company but then they got takn over by another and since thwn their service has been terrible. We have more than a dozen websites with Sibername - their service is terrible and many of our email addresses are not working because they have shifted their servers to different DNS without telling us how to keep up with the incoming email. This evening I have told them that unless they solve the problemby noon tomorrow we will start moving our services to another company. I do NOT recommend the new Sibername at this point in time.

Sibername tries to keep your domain hostage…

Sibername tries to keep your domain hostage by not allowing you to generate an auth code to transfer it to another registrar. they have intentionally made if so you need to contact support to get the hidden link to make the code.. this is a shady business practice.

Christmas Eve in CANADA

Christmas Eve! Canadians helping Canadians get'r'done!
Was simply amazed at how easy it was to complete the steps to search, register and activate the domain names I wanted, both .ca and .net. I've been at this a week, and hostpapa took my money and still has it for a website I registered with them last week, saying it can't be activated till I've been approved by their validation service and their security team. I'm still trying to satisfy their requirements over the web and have had no success, as I'm stuck in a loop on a website that has spelling and contextual errors,(Red-Flag!) and which has no options or instructions to complete. Very UN-professional. More than 50 tries, and numerous emails back and forth with hostpapa, and then I find out that the domain I paid for was still out there, from a visit to the CIRA site. I chose a local registrar, SIBERNAME.ca, and was pleasantly suprised to actually talk to a person! On Christmas Eve!
I was walked through the whole process, as I am not computer literate, and within an hour, I had both domains registered and activated..., including the .net that hostpapa was pretending to host for me. They still have my money at hostpapa, and I am trying to get it back..., but I think they are scamming me, so beware.
I am looking forward to 2020 and a lasting relationship with sibername.com and their team to help me build and launch my sites. Tech and chat support..., and real people!
Sincerely and Respectfully,

Huge rip off

Huge rip off. Don't waste your time. Expensive domains and really bad service. you only get one page and its 39 -499$ for SSL! WEEBLY DOES IT FOR FREE.

Hello;

We do provide SSL from Comodo the best brand for SSL certificates.


Our profit margin is around 25% and this includes the service price installing the SSL

$39.00 priced one is the one we sell the most.

$499.00 is the one for corporations to secure all their websites. And it is cheap for them as well for so many sites secured.

So it may sound Weebly is doing you the best, they also tie you up with their Website builder services that you have to pay and it adds up much more than the price of the SSL we sell.

As an example, you pay the $40.00 in 4 months for their services.

You can not change your provider and you are stuck with them.

From my perspective, their price is much higher.

Nothing is free and you pay one way or the other;

But anyways, thanks for bringing this up and

Wish you a great day when you read this.

Sibername tech support is the best!!!!

Originally, I gave Sibername a 5 star review for their customer service...but left no specific details. Today - Jan 28, 2019 - I wanted to return to relate a specific story.

Recently, I made a domain switch for my wife's interior design business from robband.co to robbandcompany.com . This switch necessitated and email switch as well. This is where my problems began. In addition to the domain switch, we decided to switch email from Office 365 Outlook to G-Suite Gmail....and after speaking with both Microsoft, Google and Sibername, we were assured how the change-over would be swift, painless and that all emails sent to the old robband.co email would be forwarded to the new robbandcompany.com Gmail.

Sadly, once I initiated the switch, the email forwarding didn't work. And being only semi-literate when it comes to this stuff, I contacted all 3 involved parties (Sibername hosts our domains).

Google gave me useless advice to check out different webpages, ignoring how my wife's business could be impacted by missed emails.

Outlook gave me useless advice until they decided to completely stop responding to my questions. Needless to say, my opinion on Microsoft support is not exactly positive.

Sibername, on the other hand, stuck with me over the course of 3 days, trying all sorts of technical fixes until finally, last night...everything started working perfectly.

I can't say enough about the support techs at Sibername who helped me with this problem. Unlike the Microsoft & Google people, they kept working to find a solution until a solution was found.

In case this review is looked at by SIbername execs, I am leaving the support ticket number so the support staff who helped me can be recognized for their great work.

Dear Doyglas;

I am very happy to read this review and recognition our support vs Microsoft and Google.

It is really hard to believe how little you get from those Giants when you need support. Also, their support is not free and their prices are insane.

We do offer free support for their top tier Support level where they charge $1000s.

It is because we love what we do and never think it as an extra service. We were always like this and will always be here to go as far as we can to help you.

With Warm Regards;

I cannot recommend Sibername enough

I cannot recommend Sibername enough! So impressed with their commitment to quality customer service and tech support. From the start, their reps were knowledgeable, friendly and helped put me at ease with the entire process of registering my domain name, choosing a web hosting package, building my own website and setting up a SSL certificate. Live chat help was very responsive within minutes and also by email - usually within an hour I had options presented to me to deal with any questions and issues I needed resolved, particularly for someone who is not tech oriented at all. They are the best!
