The support from WHC is great

The support from WHC is great. What a difference from the previous big name hosting service we previously used.
WHC support is friendly, responsive, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain what they did to resolve our issues.

The support person Stephan was efficient and provided real technical support in short order. Excellent job!
My only criticism is that the information collected by the chatbot did seem to get forwarded to the support person.

Bad Experience With Auctions

Tried placing an order for a .ca domain auction, order was incorrectly marked as fraud and did not go through, talked to customer support and didn't get anything resolved, auction closed (my bid would have been the highest), asked customer support and told me that the auction is closed and there's nothing they can do about it (even though they are still hosting their website on the domain I was looking at).

Hi Luka,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry that your experience didn’t meet your expectations.

A manager attempted to reach you by phone to discuss the matter directly, but unfortunately wasn’t able to get through.

When you placed your bid during the extended auction, it was already close to the closing time. In these time-sensitive situations, giving us a quick call can sometimes help speed up the account verification process. This step is in place to protect both our clients and the integrity of the auction process.

That said, if you’re still interested in acquiring the domain, there’s still an option: you can submit an offer to the current owner through our platform. Here’s how:

1. Visit whc.ca
2. Go to Domains > Domain Name Search
3. Enter the domain name
4. Click on Make an offer

We value your feedback and take it seriously; it helps us improve. If there's anything else we can do to help, feel free to reply to your ticket in the Client Area.

Very prompt and knowledgeable

I had problems with entering DNS values and they were very prompt in helping. They just asked for the values and I copy pasted them. They did it for me really quick. I didn't even have to make the copy paste perfect, they got it. You really feel supported.

Support Service is Stellar

The Support Service was fast, meticulous, and courteous. Not only have all my questions been answered, but they have also resolved my issue. The operator (Medy N.) provided stellar support. If I could have given 6 stars, I would have done it. It exceeded my expectations.
