This company has scammed me for 20k, considering legal action!!
Last October, Westhost posted over 100 charges to my credit card totaling approx. $20,000. At the same time, they discontinued my hosting services prompting me to change my email and hosting to another provider.
Since I had no access to my previous email, I could not access their online help function. Calls to their office were met with "our phone lines are undergoing maintenance" an issue that appears unresolved months later...
The only way I reached them was by leaving a review on this site. They responded and the agent said the issue was under investigation. My last correspondence from them was March 23 (6 weeks ago). Since then I have had no response to requests for follow up.
I'm now considering legal options.

Horrible
Absolutely horrible company. I signed up with their email service and went to their FAQ to see how to setup my custom email with my Gmail account. Well, the video that is suppose to be there says 'Video Unavailable' meaning the video was deleted and never updated. Very bad sign they don't have an update help section. The worst of the worst was that their server which hosts their webmail interface went down within 30 minutes of opening my account. I was getting all sorts of errors where I couldn't login but just did 15 minutes prior. So I asked for a refund. When I spoke with customer service via chat (they don't allow phone calls, btw) they told me I have to contact them again on Monday to get a refund...Don't use this company. So many more options out there.

I knew that something had to be done and was afraid I would be given complex instructions to do it. Instead, it was done for me. I was greatly relieved.

Annoying payment reminder email notifications even if we have paid. It happens for years and you can't fully fix it. How can we trust your competency if you can't even correct a small glitch? We decide to leave you after over 10 years of hosting. Farewell Westhost.

Support Review
The support technician was very helpful and resolved my issue.
The one minor issue that kept it from being a 5-star review was the wait time in the support queue.
The name given to me for the support technician was Daniel N. He was very helpful and patient.

We have 3 domains and multiple email addresses with WestHost. Have not had any issues until the last 4 months. Tried today to call multiple phone numbers for Westhost and cannot get through to ANYONE. One phone number listed for them goes to ADVANCED MEDICAL ALERT, another phone number is disconnected, the link from their website to techsupport goes to a 404 page, the link on the same support page for email goes to a 404 page. Sounds like this outfit is toast !!!! My wife has been a loyal customer for 15 years and is scared to death now.

You are impossible to reach
You are impossible to reach: live or via e mail or via chat. This has been my experience for the past several years. It took my software engineer husband 8 hours over three days to get access to e mail after you shut us down for non payment which we paid monthly via pay pal as your work around to a software problem you chose not to address. And had provided proof of payment to your billing department the month prior.

One star, only because zero is not an option
The only reason you get one star is because zero stars is not an option.
Tech Center has been a Westhost client for years, and a Midphase client for years before Westhost acquired Midphase. Westhost recently migrated our VPS services from your legacy system to your Chi platform. That migration did NOT go well.
Our reseller services (our own hosting as well as that of our clients) were disabled for seven days. Imagine trying to do business for a week with no email or http services available.
The cause was a mistake made by Westhost: instead of transferring our services to the Chi account that we had access to, and that had a payment method added, you created a new account, one to which we had no access and which had no payment method added. Upon renewal, the services were suspended.
At that point, we not only had no services but we had no way to contact Westhost support. We had no PIN nor last four of payment method with which to verify and no access to email. Consequently, every support request submitted through your website (using a gmail return address) was met with a request to verify using PIN or last 4. In addition, follow up responses were sent to the email address on the account, AN ADDRESS TO WHICH WE HAD NO ACCESS BECAUSE YOU'D SHUT DOWN THE EMAIL SERVICES.
Your Level 1 support staff was less than useless; they wasted a week of my time. I should have skipped the attempt to find a competent agent and gone right to the HUT Group Global Operations Center. Between them and the Billing Team we managed to get back up and running. Your Technical Support is worse than useless. The whole lot should be lined up and fired en masse.
If anybody with a brain and/or any sense of obligation to quality of service reads this, please contact me at +1-707-494-4961.
