Major Frustration

We started a business in July 2025. I was building our business website here at WA and had our emails set up and ready to go. When I found out that forwarding our business emails was no longer an option, I had to find a workaround fast. Our opening day was quickly approaching! I had our website almost ready to go live here on WA. At the last minute, I had to transfer the domain to another host so that we could get our business emails. I had already ordered letterhead, envelopes, business cards, and other things we needed for the office. Opening day came, and the website did not go live. Months and months later, I'm still struggling to get our website up and running. I continued building it here, thinking that I could just import it as I have done with others before. No go! When I imported everything, it was hit or miss. Some photos transferred, none of my links transferred, and other things are missing. I hate the other host that I'm with. I'm on my last nerve. I want to transfer my domain back to WA, but then I lose our email addresses, which I cannot do. I'm kind of stuck. I'm just telling you all this so you will save yourself some heartache if you find yourself in a similar situation. Stay with WA! You may find cheaper hosting plans out there... not worth it. You may find another domain host that offers all the bells and whistles....not worth it. WA offers everything we need; stick with them.
