What people are saying
Trustpilot★★★★★Esperienza ottima“Esperienza ottima , persone disponibili e molto preparate”
Trustpilot★☆☆☆☆O pior serviço de hospedagem do universo“A Locaweb é, de longe, o pior serviço de hospedagem que já usei. E olha que já trabalhei com Hostgator, Hostinger, GoDaddy e vários outros. Nenhum chega perto do nível de frustração que a Locaweb oferece. O painel é lento, confuso e extremamente limitado. Praticamente nada pode ser feito por conta própria. Tudo…”

Trustpilot★★★★★Ottimo servizio clienti di Gesica“Ottimo servizio clienti di Gesica 4/12/2024”
Trustpilot★☆☆☆☆Escperenzia bruttissima“Escperenzia bruttissima. Assillante, vi fanno firmare continui contratti con costi assurdi , che poi non hanno nessun riscontro economico positivo , solo negativo . State attenti vendono i loro contratti una volta firmati non se ne esce più. Da denuncia .”
