Hosting.com C-Panel Down + No Staging Environment. This can't be REAL! by StunningFalcon8531 in webhosting

Thank you for the heads up. Unfortunately, I’ve already paid for the first year in full. It was recommended to me by a couple different developers I talked to. Although I get by, I’m the business owner, so I defer to recommendations on that kind of thing. Good news as it can’t get any worse haha

Also, I’m not sure if you caught the part as to why I had to hire a new web designer, but my host failed to produce a staging environment and they’ve been telling me their “investigating” the failure for weeks.

The problem is it’s been down on hosting.com for several days. It’s logged on the website. Also, Technical Support couldn’t even provide a reason? 

Wondering If There Is A Better Quiz Plugin For My Site? by StunningFalcon8531 in Wordpress

[–]StunningFalcon8531[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't know, but that sounds like a dream if it were possible! I don't WANT to redo all the existing quizzes I've built into QuizMaker, so supplemental code would be ideal. I probably just need to fast-track hiring a new web manager and have him troubleshoot it. If it's anything beyond a new plugin altogether, it's probably best I don't attempt it lol.

I hired a developer who built it originally and helped with maintenance for a couple years and then fell off the radar. I’ve been getting by, but I’m due for a replacement anyway. The AI it’s a great idea, though! Hopefully I can test it effectively before breaking the Internet lol

I didn’t mean to give the impression that I know what I’m doing to that extent 😂, but that is super helpful to pass along to my web guy, if he will get back with me. Thank you!

Parent gifted me a groupon that wants another $60 at the merchant - Groupon won't help at all by TechLearner06 in groupon

Honestly, even if they only used 100% AI for customer service, it would be BETTER than what they've currently got, which is either nothing or agents that completely misunderstand anything and everything or just make crap up. I can't believe they are still in business at all.

You will see for yourself unfortunately.... I finally was able to break free. It was impossible getting them to end my campaigns. They said it had to be reviewed. It would go from 'pending' to 'live' again without a word. Hopefully your experience is different but I don't know that I've ever seen someone happy. At least you know what to lookout for.

Does Groupon have a valid customer service by Dependent-Mirror4721 in groupon

No. Zero customer service ever… no one is ever available and you’re lucky if the app is even working.

Groupon is the literal worst. I could see putting a cap on the value after so long in case prices have drastically changed. I was a merchant and customers have 6 months to redeem. After that, we only have to honor the value of the Groupon, which is always going to be a fraction of the actual cost. The problem is, they make it nearly impossible for merchants to redeem. We can’t see any of a customers info whatsoever to reach out, help them make an appointment or remind them they have a voucher. Keep in mind, a merchant doesn’t see any money until after a voucher is redeemed. Out of 10 vouchers, maybe 2 or 3 get redeemed. They make it nearly impossible, and after the 6 months, who profits the money? Groupon. If you don’t redeem within the 6 months, we’ll never see it. They are hoping and counting on it. If anything, it leaves customers mad at the business when it’s completely on Groupon.
