Pair really was a great service for so many years. Not anymore.

I have had a pair.com account for over 20 years. The service has gone down hill, does not update my account and a few months ago started turning my whole site off whenever the payment (that I am being overcharged for because I have a legacy package) is a day after date. Today, I was locked out and they shut down everything, email, sites, and THE DASHBOARD TO PAY. So I had to use a special form to pay. Ok, fine, but I didn't know the exact amount. Called to see if it was the right amount. No one answered all day from 10am until 4pm EST. I called repeatedly. Finally, got a VERY rude Anthony on the line who said I received an email (they shut down my email) saying I still owed $1.77. Let me repeat that ONE DOLLAR AND SEVENTY SEVEN CENTS. I said how would I have gotten that? He said, "Well, you're the one who used a email that wasn't working in the form." What? Like, what? I felt like I was talking to someone on Reddit or Twitter not a customer support person. Unbelievable.

I selected Pair decades ago because I could always call up and get a person, get help rebooting a server or other tech support. I have had great conversations with many Pair folks over the years and even though I knew they were overcharging me and not really updating my server/account (legacy email amounts, legacy # of databases, etc for a high account tier) I kept them anyway because I felt they were a good, real service.

It is going to be a minor nightmare to move off the platform after all these years but at this point I have no choice. Its such a shame. It really was a great service for so so many years. So now I will be paying up to $20 less a month for more modern features.

I would like to thank you for still taking the time to leave us this feedback so that we may learn from it and improve in the future. I am very sorry to hear about this horrible experience and numerous failures along the pipeline. The support issues will be passed along to management and we actually have been in the process of trying to improve the account lock process. The desire to move hosting is understandable but know that you are always welcome at Pair.

Pair Support is trustable, competent, and timely

Every time I reach out to Pair Support, my issue is resolved in a timely manner, proficiently and correctly the first time, and with professional courtesy and friendliness. It also maintains trust that my support tickets are always responded to by one or two individuals I recognize by name.

Pair customer support = Excellent

Pair customer support takes the time to help. Recently, Brad spent a lot of time on the phone with me trying to solve a mystery with a 3rd party app. It was above & beyond the call of duty. Thx so much!

Pair support is actual support- from humans!

Pair support is always responsive and they will stick with you until you truly understand and have your questions answered. For someone who isn’t very website literate, I’ve been with them for over 2 decades for this very reason!

Great feedback and resolution

Great feedback and resolution. I was able to fix my DNS easily. The Pair representative was able to explain how to get to record entry screen with very clear instructions.

Friendly AND patient!

The Pair staff is always so friendly... and patient! I'm not a techie type, so they boil it down for me and give me simple step-by-step instructions so that even I can be successful. Always appreciate their fast response too...even on the weekends! Thanks Pair for helping me get my email back up and running!

Email Problem

I identified that I wasn't receiving some emails - from various sources. I also have a Gmail account so I added that email to those senders I wasn't receiving, and I do receive them at the Gmail account. I worked with one of the senders and their logs show they attempt to connect to the pair email server, but it times out. Pair support was unable to identify why their server is timing out on connections and have not resolved the issue.

Very slow response times

Very slow response times for tech support. I responded Friday within office hours and didn't get a response for a couple days. When I did get a response it was not very detailed. This happened to me before as well. I'm very disappointed in their support.

I am very sorry to hear that you have had subpar experiences with the Support Team. Especially regarding the length it took to get a response. I will make sure this gets looked into and I hope that our team has a chance to make this right!

Had the main server go down. Pair detected the problem before I reported it and had the server up within 10 minutes.
