if you are new then webs is OK at best

I have been hosting a site with webs.com for a few months. I am using it to generate real estate leads. The bummer about webs.com is the customer support is total DOG SH$T , you are litterally connected to a person that knows nothing about even the most remedial website building stuff. I did some research about the customer service company that they use and it is just some random company that does not specialize in website issues, they are merley people that are there to try and answer questions.

Webs.com does have email support which is a hair better, you can actually get a response to your question via the email support. If you try to use the online chat feature you will throw your monitor out the window before you ever get an answer to your question.

Best moment ever, I was using the online chat feature with a customer service represenatitive and I asked if webs links are automatically set to follow or nofollow, the rep told me I had to be more specific as she did not know what a follow or nofollow link was. Classic.

Anyway what do you want for $5 a month, or free for that matter. I use the $5 per month plan right now so that is wher I am at. I have had some issues with the site that where resolved in a day or 2, currently as of today if you log onto my site non of my images are showing, there is a big "oops" where all the images should be, I contacted the online support and they said they are working on it. We'll see.

Biggest Pro: ease of use for newbies
Biggest Con: customer support sucks!!!!!

My Websites Was Suspended Without Explanation and Without Help

My website was suspended two days ago without any warning or explanation. I contact the abuse team for the last two days but no response yet. I created this website for the members of the San Diego Christian Chorals to share our performaces and information. We never posted anything unrelated to the love of Jesus. I like the ease of website creation but their costumer support is basically not exist. I am switching to other company. Should read reviews first.

Webs/Freewebs has disgusting tech support

I just spent 8 days going back and forth with tech support because my site is no longer properly rendering. Apparently they have a new policy about includes, and tech support had no idea.
This issue will NOT be fixed.
After being a PAYING member for 5 years, they can no longer display my site, and have not answered me about a refund!!!

Biggest Pro: Paid tech support avoids your questions
Biggest Con: Paid tech support forgets to answer your questions

Webs is HORRIBLE

Webs.com is consistently broken in some form or fashion. They consistently have issues with their site but the main problem is their customer support. The staff is TERRIBLE at handling complaints and irate customers. You'd think they'd be better at it since people are mad at them all the time. PLEASE save yourself the trouble of dealing with Webs and spend the time/money to get a site that is going to actually work. It's just not worth it to save a buck.

Biggest Pro: Not too difficult to get up and running
Biggest Con: customer support and trying to STAY up and running

OMG, seriously do NOT get a webs account to host your site

*SIGH* I have no idea where to start. I just changed my template and some other things, HUGE mistake. First the background graphics option would not load EVER, then when I try to change either the font or color of text, I literally have to press the color I want at LEAST twice before it changes the color! Then the font... I tried several times with that. Pathetic!

I'm am so frustrated I could spit nails, and all I wanted to do was change the layout of my site.

Then I get popups while trying to save it, saying it 'won't save' and needs to 'refresh in order to save'. So riduculous.

Once more: pathetic. Thank God I'm not paying for premium services! I don't know ANYONE in their right mind who'd want to PAY for this garbage. Seriously.

TY.

Biggest Pro: NO pros

STAY AWAY FROM WEBS.COM

They are a bunch of low life retards. They've had a technical issue for 3months now and won't fix it. They keep puttnig people off and now that people are starting to get pissed they simply stopped responding to everyone and remove people's comments on the forums.

STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!

Biggest Pro: Nothing
Biggest Con: The support

You may know than they do when it comes to technical support.

First Webs.com is a simple easy to use web designer, if you don't want to do much. Other that have a simple to look at site.
Many of the apps they have work fine and can possibly enhance your site. provided you can find out how they work, as their support department are just plain stupid. Often you have to figure it out.

They have simple manuals with answers they can quote to you, so if those answers acutall fit your problem, consider yourself lucky. But please go elsewhere if you need to have a website where the staff can give your answers that require real thought or real technical expertise. Webs.com doesn't seem to hire these types of people.

Here is an examply for there answers.
Q: What is the maximum file size that can be uploaded for the Pro Package?
A: The video can be 90 minutes in length?

Problem: Computer file sizes is given in terms of bytes, Not seconds.
The issue was that when trying to upload a 30 minute clip, you receive an error that the file has to be under 60MB (which their technical support didn't know about).

I also discovered an app that works under IE 7 byt not 8

Biggest Pro: Easy to use
Biggest Con: Their Technical Support specialist are real STUPID

Webs

I host a simple website on webs as a test hoster, i chose webs from 1 of the top search results from google. From this first inpresion i decided to use webs, and have been happy ever since. When i wanted help, i visited their forums which were 'helpful'. They told me i cant have a file named .htaccess. The thing i like about webs is the credits you can get which let u have free stuff like a free domain name for a month, however it is almost imposible to achieve. Overal i would say webs is good for starters.

Biggest Pro: Credits for a free .com domain.
Biggest Con: Built for starters, prevents you from uploading certain file types.

Bargain? no, BIN!

Possibly the worst host I have ever used. The Customer services know nothing about webs. You get forwarded to tech suppourt. They do absolutely bugger all. You are directed to a forum site, "Webs representatives read your question, and give a half assed response, and mark the question is answered, you never get your question answered. I am a free user with a premium domain. if they treat me this bad, they are not seeing any more of my money! tell you what, webs file uploader rejects half of the file types, yay, i have a half website!
The domain is a rip off. £30 for 2 years, ad free.

Biggest Con: Useless Staff and Management

WEBS SUCKS!

Ok, webs.com One of the worst wehosts I have ever come across. The plans are extremly expensive, and not at all possible to customize. I started using webs in march 2009. It seemed ok, but after a closer look, see what I mean: Webs does not verify personal information, webs does not have WHOIS, webs offers a discrace of a tracking service [clicky] and absolutly no, I mean none at all, support for free websites. You have to pay for customer service. Webs is easily hacked, as a matter of fact my site was hacked three times so far. (seriously) Webs has a ton of downtime, and sometimes for a week or two. They have a forum. It's not too bad, besides the fact that it's harvesting spammers, and they *had* an 11 YEAR OLD MODERATOR. I'm sorry to say, he was one of my friends, but he didn't get un-moded because of his age, webs knew. He was only un-moded for serving his purpose, deleting the spam messages, so when webs found out he was ACTUALLY DOING HIS JOB, he lost mod abilities. There are ads all over the site, and you have to PAY to get rid of those also. Pay pay pay buy buy buy spend spend spend, that's what that place is, buy spend, waste money. They don't let you have custom sub-domains, ex. example.example.com Another downside to webs is the payment. Since you can't customize your plans, it's either 1: expensive, 2: very expensive or 3: So damn expensive you have a heart attack just looking at the prices. Now let's take a look at member profiles? Inbox? O.K. but it doesn't tell you how many messages you have on the bar that says when you login, it doesn't even notify you of new messages unless you are right on profile page. Profile comments post -half the time-. The built-in-website-forums for your site say they support html, but it didn't work for me. Email blasts: Plain text only, no color, no bold, italic, ect... Nothing at all, just plain simple text, such as this review. They do not support .htaccess they do not allow you to ban users, they do not allow master password (for free) they do not allow you a database, they do not offer mySQL, and there is no CAPTCHA for forum posts or signups. The pages and connection speed are depressingly slow, even on a fast computer, it's SLOW. In the admin area, there really isn't much to do, if a member is hacking you, or spamming your site, harassing your users, you delete them, only to find out they've signed up again in five minutes. What to do, unless you make a custom php banning script like I did, you're screwed! I told webs and they said to check there help database, looks like they made it in one night. White backgrounds, support tickets rot, and there is nothing to find in the database. You can, however talk to a service representitive. BUT, that feature is for PAID MEMBERS ONLY, and they offer no help at all until you buy the expensive plans. I told them to kiss my ass, I'm not paying for this. I have since switched to forumotion, much much better. Back to my review...Let's talk about webs's awesome security. If you post binary code in your message (it doesn't matter, just a random string of 1's and 0's will do) or username, forum post, comment, or blog reply, the admin can not delete the post, nor can he edit it. The admin can not delete the user, or anything of the sort. Once someone posted a picture in my forum, ONE MILLION PIXELS HIGH AND WIDE!!!! Do you know how slow that was to load? As a bonus, it was a porno pic. I'm so pissed off at that host right now I'm going to end this review. For now, please do not use freewebs.

Biggest Pro: Biggest pro is that you can unsuscribe.
Biggest Con: sooo easily hacked, not at all secure.
