  • Web Hosting and Domain Purchasing Advice Needed
    I haven't purchased a domain or found a hosting company in a while but I need to now. Since I'm just small time, I've always gone through register.com (aka web.com) and had success but I don't need much from them. I upload my pages via Core FTP LE. I wonder if it's worth looking elsewhere. I even saw I could purchase the domains through Google. I'm looking for suggestions if you don't mind. Thank you for... - Source: Reddit / 3 days ago
  • Reported a fake domain to NameCheap but they said they can't validate my claims. Any recourse?
    Namecheap utilizes a privacy service with an address in Iceland to help protect customer information- nothing more, and nothing less. Almost every major domain name registrar uses privacy or proxy services: Tucows, GoDaddy, web.com, etc. - Source: Reddit / 26 days ago
  • Mimecast Threat Protection Links open the wrong website
    The crazy part is I tried to open a junk email this morning from web.com and it took me to a lawfirm website that one of the owners use, but I have never used the site before. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago
  • Trottie comments on Micah and Grants game (Starts at 2:09:15)
    A family friend of mine played on the Canadian Tour and even had a cup of coffee on the KF Tour (back when it was the Web.Com tour). He always says that the closer you get to the green, the further the disparity in talent from even a good KF or PGA player, and a Canadian or other low level pro tour (let alone amateurs) is. It makes sense - practically, the teeshot gives you the widest target in golf and the... - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago
  • Wrapping .exe in PowerShell : Application Deployment
    Install .exe with Powershell Script - delete shortcut it creates - create new shortcut (web.com). I'm using script deployment type. The content folder has both the .ps1 and the .exe inside. Install field is set to: Powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File "Installer.ps1". - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • Is this website/sweater a scam? Every place I found it has the exact same photos
    Most other registrars use privacy or proxy services (GoDaddy, Tucows, web.com, Google included), and along with the requirements of the GDPR, you will almost never be able to see the underlying customer data in whois/RDAP output. Does not mean it's a scam though. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
  • Domain Registrar
    I second this. Avoid register.com and web.com at all costs. Their technology is about as bad as it gets, and their customer service is even worse. They have so much junk technology and can't keep track of the simplest things. Get this- their account password reset doesn't work because the CAPTCHA key expired. They don't even have a process to triage this and something so simple has been unfixed for months, despite... - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
  • What inventory management system do you use?
    It is part of web.com or something now. I am still grandfathered in. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago
  • Re: Wear pattern on web.com tour player AP2 7 iron. 0 handicap golfer AP2 7 iron wear for reference.
    No web.com player. Marks too close to the heal and failed to scrub off all the toe marks. Got to give you a negative here! - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago
  • Better Players and Hero Shots
    I played a round with a guy on the web.com tour a while back and what stood out to me was his fucking insane aggressiveness. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago
  • Network Solutions DNS down?
    They strung me along for months with an email issue. I finally left and moved it all to google. Best move ever. saved a pile of money and have not had any significant or noteworthy issues since. NS was fine until web.com bought them. Once that happened it was all down hill. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago
  • Web.com's regular website builder & Google adsense
    Does anyone use web.com's regular website builder and google adsense at the same time? I bought hosting from them too, but was told I couldn't transfer my website to the hosting platform, and on top of that the hosting platform they use doesn't allow .webp images on there where the regular website does. But I've contacted web dot com 5 times and cannot get an answer from them about uploading the google adsense... - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago
  • Can Domain registrar buy a domain for its own?
    Register.com did it too, but they're in the same family of companies as Net Sol (web.com)... I think Go Daddy did it as well... Which is why I don't use any registrars to run a whois any more. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago
  • Is there a tool/framework for...?
    Example: web.com offers a website builder, drag&drop, yadda ya. Perfect until the brick walls start popping up when you ask for a widget that allows you to import content through other APIs and the responses are either "no", or "yes, but you need our enterprise plan at a gazzillion dollars a month". - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago
  • Resources to learn website creation?
    Where would I start to learn this stuff? Do I need to learn any coding? My company's website looks like it was made on web.com if that matters at all. I believe I would simply be maintaining/updating the site. - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago
  • Problem with sharing resources between two sites in the same project.
    Altough the domain names are switched (it's not web.com but web.app and not firebase.app but firebaseapp.com) I supposed you already have double checked so, if deploy was correct, the only thing I can suggest is to reach firebase support (https://firebase.google.com/support) and ask them why. - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago
  • A CLI tool written in PHP made for humans to make networks requests
    I really hate this "for humans" thing. But it does make sense that "visit web.com" is more friendly than "curl -kLs https://web.com". Interesting tool! - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Never Ever use Wix.com as your DNS Provider
    I remember the day web.com bought Network Solutions. We got spammed with all kinds of misleading sales emails about some service or another is about to expire. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Never Ever use Wix.com as your DNS Provider
    Network Solutions is owned by web.com, who is purported to be owned by Newfold Digital, also known as Endurance International Group or EIG. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Spotted this morning on ESPN+ coverage of the Honda Classic. Spectator with the ranger finder is cracking me up!
    Didnt they do this for a Friday round on web.com tour about 3-4 years back, maybe more. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Long-time WordPress.org user considering WordPress.com. Worthwhile for heavy-traffic sites vs. managed hosting?
    EIG Hasn't existed for a Year now... They were bought by clearlake capital that then merged with web.com to make newfold digital. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
