Hi, Philip. I'm sorry you’ve had a frustrating experience. We understand that issues involving a domain, email, account access, or billing can be very disruptive.
Though we can’t discuss account-specific details publicly for privacy and security reasons, we do want to clarify a few general points. Renewal reminders are sent to the contact information on file before a domain expires, two-factor authentication has been required on client accounts for quite some time, and cancellations must be submitted through the required cancellation process so they can be properly recorded. If services remain active and are configured to use automatic billing, you may see additional charges until cancellation is submitted.
I'm happy to review the account with you privately, including the renewal history, 2FA access, billing activity, and cancellation status. Please contact our support team with your account details or ticket number so we can investigate securely.

Hello, Mark.
Thank you for your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be to experience any interruption to your email or domain services.
The downtime you experienced was the result of scheduled maintenance that was communicated in advance via email and also posted on our status page. This work was necessary to maintain the reliability and performance of the platform, and services were fully restored once the maintenance was completed.
Regarding the response time, we did experience higher-than-normal support volumes during this period, which unfortunately led to delays. That said, we recognize the importance of timely communication and are actively working to improve our response times during peak periods.
We truly value all of our customers, regardless of account size, and we’re committed to delivering a consistent and reliable service experience. If there’s anything further we can assist with, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Best Regards,

Hello,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how disruptive it can be to lose access to your account and email services.
To help protect customer accounts and prevent unauthorized activity, we implemented two-factor authentication (2FA) as an added security measure. While this is now a widely adopted industry standard, we recognize that it can create challenges if it hasn’t been fully set up or accessed in some time. Our support team can assist with securely restoring access, and we encourage you to reach out again if this has not yet been resolved.
Regarding response times, we sincerely apologize for the delay you experienced. Periods of high support volume can impact turnaround times, but we are continually working to improve responsiveness and ensure customers receive the help they need as quickly as possible.
We understand how critical domain access and email availability are to your business, and we take concerns like yours seriously. If you’re still experiencing issues, please contact us directly so we can prioritize getting this resolved for you.
Best Regards,

Hi Theresa,
I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. I completely understand how frustrating this must feel, especially if you weren’t aware the service was still active.
I’ve reviewed your account and its history, and it appears the hosting service remained active on our side during this period. We don’t have visibility into whether a website is actively being used unless the service is cancelled or brought to our attention, which is why billing continued as normal.
That said, I understand this situation isn’t ideal, and I’d really like to help find a fair way forward for you. Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]
so we can take a closer look and assist further.
Kind Regards,
Josh B.
