First problem.. i signup get the hosting ( it has a message that hosting accounts can take up to 6 hours to setup because of fraud checks. ok a pissoff but no big deal )

6 hours later no email no setup , perhaps they dont understand what UP TO 6 hours means, ok again no big deal, so about 14 hours later they finally get it setup, but the domain isnt working. so i email support , a few hours later i get an email back saying i need to change the dns because its setup to namecheaps default dns.. not a big deal but cmon now , if you order a hosting package and new domain with it the nameservers should never have been pointed to namecheap , if you order hosting they should have it setup for you , and they shouldnt bullshit about when its going to happen.

all it means is i wasted my time and their support teams time by answering emails that never needed to happen.
