Cant get authorization code to transfer my domain name to another company. I have new waiting for Bravenet to send me the code for three days!

Dont do business with Bravenet.

They hold your domain name hostage! I may have to get a lawyer.

User's recommendation: Don’t use Bravenet. They hold your account hostage. They won’t provide authization EPP Code to transfer my domain to another company. Still waiting after 72 hours. This is costing me money.

they have never responded

Original review Dec 11, 2023
claiming since covid employees are back home working so they can't offer phone service it is dec 2023 now, anyways suggests to click a link to get online help but if you don't know your login or email after taking over from legacy non profit charity people you can't enter email, the system then tells you to click a link to get help if you still can't login and this page fails with error
charging us for a website that is way out of date and essentially non functional as we cannot access
Loss:
$5000
Cons:
  • Unable to market events online inhibits ticket sales

Preferred solution: to fix the problems and apology would be nice

User's recommendation: put phone support back it is 2023, fix your broken pages

I sent a second follow up this morning, please ensure to check your spam folder. I'm sorry to hear there are error messages on the support tickets - this is our first report of this. There is also a link at the bottom of the contact forms that allows you to send a ticket if you are experiencing login problems but I understand you may be experiencing issues with this.

Note you can also reach out to us anytime on private message through Facebook or Twitter (X) which is linked on our website. Once we receive more information about your account through email, we will send you some account recovery information asap.

Hi Kathryn! I'm sorry to hear you were experiencing difficulties using our payment system.

I see you were able to successfully create a support ticket with us to resolve the issue. It appears the transactions were being blocked due to generic decline messages from your card provider, though I do see you were able to successfully place a renewal on March 6th. Please reach out to us at support.bravenet.com if you have any further questions or need any further assistance with this.

Thanks! :) Best Regards, Tiffany

Emails

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I received emails about auto-renewals after terminating service.
  • - The messages promised this would not happen and apologized.

This was the 2nd time I received emails from them after I had terminated my service with them. The emails were saying certain services were going to be auto renewed.

They assured me this would not happen and apologized for the emails. Guess one part of them does not know what the other is doing.Consider them

User's recommendation: Consider them if you need a web host. Just be a bit cautious.

Dear Dave Qlc, we do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please note when cancelling services with us we recommend reviewing and removing any automatic transactions by navigating to billing > recurring transactions in your account.

If you would like us to confirm all recurring transactions have been removed please reach out to us at support.bravenet.com and we will take a look.

Thanks! Kind Regards, Tiffany

Hello, I think there may be some confusion as we do not sell phones. We are a web hosting company (see bravenet.com).

Facebook & other tracking cookies enforced

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Third-party cookies are required on sign-on with no exceptions.
  • - Bravenet collects data and shares with third parties, not disclosed.

They require third party cookies when you sign on no exceptions. I spotted Facebook doing handshakes which leads me to suspect Facebook cookies which are notoriously invasive.

I know its most likely contracted with FB because my login to Yahoo etc do not include FB handshakes! Another gripe is when you contact the help desk the techies always pretend they cannot understand your question. You will write your question clearly pointedly and they will ask you to clarify over again and again. When they offer an explanation it is often using vague excuses or obscure allusions.

This kind of costs me time even if not money. They probably contract with their intel services to mine customer data. My concern is this isnt being told to me as a client. Why must my data be collected by parties or foreign countries, possibly several of them, without my knowledge or consent?

I am not even offered a disclaimor or notice of any kind who these collectors are and for what purpose? Bravenet collects a alot of information through my websites and archives and this kind of third party sharing is not legitimate and exploitative in nature.

Loss:
$500
Pros:
  • Reliable accounting
  • Quick customer ticket service
  • Comprehensive website services including diy
Cons:
  • Unknown tracking cookies
  • Pretend as if you are illiterate
  • Dicey ticket responses

Preferred solution: Notify specific cookies used and offer opt out options

User's recommendation: Third party cookies must be banned
