I had a site with them for 10 years and…

I had a site with them for 10 years and paid always. They did nothing for me except have my site on-line, never reviewed it, never gave any suggestions.... you get the picture. In January of 2018, I went on line and cancelled my services as per their instructions. I find out today (June11,2018) that they continued to bill my account, that is 5 months of billing!!! I know the website was no longer on-line as I got notifications that I had so many days to change my mind!!! When I called they said they had no indication I had cancelled...... TOTAL SCAM BE WARY OF THIS COMPANY!!! Because I no longer have that email address I can not access my email. Very unhappy customer. Develop your own site and pay pennies to have it hosted through Wordpress!!

I like Homestead!

We have about 10 websites on Homestead. We find their 800# support people pretty good. It does have some minor limitations but we like it. The service is reliable. We are not crazy about the online sitebuilder and prefer to use the sitebuilder on laptops, but they continue to support both platforms. It's not bleeding edge but you can get a good looking site with good support for a reasonable cost.

Have used them for years - was VERY happy! No longer...

I have had several websites created with Homestead.com, for many years. I can ALWAYS get someone on the phone, the sitebuilder that I have downloaded to my computer is wonderful, the themes are great, and I could not be more pleased.

Well, I could - there are rumors that they are going to discontinue support for the computer downloaded Intuit SiteBuiler, and I wish they would reconsider that. It is so easy to work on my sites at my leisure, and open several pages to edit, at once.

Other than that, I love them!

UPDATE 2022 - Homestead has changed their website builder. ALL of us who had our websites hosted by them for years, NOW have to rebuild our websites from scratch. There is no way to copy and paste our existing content. How many people have the time and energy to do that? I am no longer pleased with them.

Very Disappointing Experience

I guess you could say, you get what you pay for. I should have known, by their really inexpensive pricing, that this site would be nothing but trouble. So yeah, they provide really nice layouts for your site, and a pretty easy to use site builder... that's great... but let you run into a problem... and it's downhill from there. Trying to get in contact with someone to help you is like pulling teeth. They say they have online chat available between certain hours, but provide NO LINK to access the chat. Then they say they are "phasing out" support tickets, so you can't send any of those. They expect you to just post your question on the community support board and wait for an answer. Well I am sick and tired of waiting. It's been days and neither of my problems have been resolved. As soon as I find something better, I will definitely be switching. This site is best used for those with only one page websites, or personal websites. Definitely would not recommend for a company or corporate/commercial use.
