 AI reviews summary 

Melbourne IT receives overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding its customer support, with users frequently highlighting the patience and technical proficiency of specific staff members. While the majority of interactions result in immediate resolutions for domain and email issues, a small segment of users has reported severe technical disruptions and billing frustrations. Overall, the company is noted for its accessibility via phone and its ability to guide less tech-savvy users through complex processes.

Pros
Exceptional Support Staff: Numerous users praise specific consultants for being exceptionally patient, polite, and professional, particularly when assisting elderly or non-technical clients.
Efficient Problem Resolution: Technical issues regarding DNS settings, email configurations, and domain transfers are frequently resolved quickly, often within a single phone call.
High Accessibility: The phone support is noted for having short wait times, with several users impressed by the speed at which they can reach a "real person" rather than an automated system.
Effective Guidance: Support agents are commended for providing clear, step-by-step instructions that make navigating the account console and management tasks easy for users.
Cons
Critical System Failures: A few users experienced significant business impacts, including websites going down due to technician errors and failures in the automated renewal notification system.
Account Access Hurdles: Recurring complaints involve difficulties logging into the "Console" portal, issues with MFA/password resets, and frustrations regarding accounts that remain active after requested cancellations.
Billing Discrepancies: Some users reported being overcharged or billed for services they no longer required, though some noted these were eventually refunded after manual intervention.
Inconsistent Email Support: While phone support is highly rated, some users found the email/ticket-based support to be slow, lacking in detail, or prone to using unhelpful templates.
Verdict

Melbourne IT is a reliable choice for users who value high-touch, accessible phone support and guided technical assistance for domain and email management. While most customers report seamless experiences, business owners should maintain a proactive eye on their renewal dates and DNS settings to mitigate the small risk of critical system errors or billing oversights.

 Follow-up  · Since my positive 2025 review regarding resolution of an account access issue, my experience with Melbourne IT has been frustrating. This time there was a different issue with accessing my emails. The first person I spoke to absolutely promised to have ‘the team’ resolve the issue or get back to me within one or two hours. After waiting about 5… Read more

I contacted Melbourne IT customer service by phone on May 26. I had two issues to inquire about. The first was whether our invoices are set to be paid automatically. The second issue was that every time I try to log in to Melbourne IT, my password is always incorrect, which forces me to reset it each time using the “Forgot Password” option. The… Read more ·  1

customer service representative who assisted me was Jerome. He patiently explained to me that although my credit card is saved in the system for automatic payment, each invoice still needs to be individually set for automatic payment—something I wasn’t aware of. I was fortunate that he explained this clearly. The second issue had been troubling me even more, but Jerome carefully walked me through the root of the problem. He guided me step by step on how to delete cookies from my browser, and he also advised me to avoid deleting unnecessary cookies to prevent future issues while browsing. I truly appreciated his thoughtful and professional approach. Overall, I’m very satisfied with Jerome’s professionalism and friendly service.

Pathetic, Appalling, and Atrocious Customer Service (Zero Stars) – Our business has been a customer of Melbourne IT (starting from Webcentral, Netregistry, Melbourne IT or whatever brand or trading name they use from time to time) for over 10 years. We have always purchased our SSL certificate and the consequential renewal of the SSL certificate from Melbourne IT at all material times. Melbourne IT… Read more

automatically deducted the payment for the SSL certificate from our credit card on the issue date of the invoice.

Melbourne IT was and is wholly and fully responsible for renewing our SSL certificate, which we have paid for since the inception of the SSL certificate.

Melbourne IT precluded access to our business website by failing to renew our SSL certificate, in spite of automatically deducting the payment for the SSL certificate from our credit card on the issue date of the invoice.

By failing to renew our SSL certificate, Melbourne IT caused an unsecure message and warning to appear to any user seeking to access our website.

Melbourne IT denied this and failed to take any responsibility for their actions. Melbourne IT also denied that their actions had led to the preclusion of access to our website.

In practical terms, any reasonable individual, upon encountering the warning message, would not access or seek to access our website.

Melbourne IT's failure to renew our SSL certificate caused users to not access our website and, in practical terms, precluded or prevented access to our website which we have also paid Melbourne IT to host.

Melbourne IT did not rectify nor remedy the failure of your organisation to renew our SSL certificate until we had to contact Melbourne IT on 11 October 2024 whereupon we were informed that it would take 30 minutes to rectify. That representation was misleading and false, resulting in wasting an extraordinary amount of our time trying to fix the problem caused by the failure of Melbourne IT to renew the SSL certificate.

Melbourne IT's customer service was and is appalling, pathetic, unacceptable, and atrocious. Melbourne IT's failure and negligence to renew our SSL certificate has resulted in damages, interruptions, and disruptions to our business.

Melbourne IT exacerbated this issue by taking several days to resolve this issue and problem which was caused by Melbourne IT.

We lodged a complaint against Melbourne IT and their staff. We also required compensation from Melbourne IT due to their negligence and incompetence resulting in damages, interruptions, and disruptions to our business.

Melbourne IT has engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct in their responses to our complaints and has continued to not take any responsibility for their actions.

Melbourne IT has failed to offer any compensation to us.

Melbourne IT has failed to respond to our messages and replies to their messages.

Instead, Melbourne IT has closed our ongoing support tickets. We had to open new support tickets in order to contact them.

To reiterate, Melbourne IT's customer service was and is appalling, pathetic, unacceptable, and atrocious. Melbourne IT's failure and negligence to renew our SSL certificate has resulted in damages, interruptions, and disruptions to our business.

Do not engage Melbourne IT. Do not purchase anything from Melbourne IT. Do not use Melbourne IT.

Zero Stars.

information (which was all there anyway) on my domain name : Sistersquadron.com and sent through the renewed screen shot with the updated info for my file. Exemplary!

My thanks goes to Ahmir for his patience with me (great attitude); to Jason for for endorsing Ahmir's work and sending a revised updated screenshot and completing the job as Ahmir did with a letter whereby MIT verified my domain names with ICANN on my behalf. Thank you. You are lucky to have two such amiable and capable staff. That is why I have stuck with MIT for over a quarter of a century! Wishing you all the very best, Simon Lawson-Tootill

Hopeless resolution of getting locked out of my account. Took 3 days of repeated calls, and emails - should have been resolved in 30 mins. Lengthy delays from the IT service desk, and when they did finally reply it only wasted my time further. For example, emailing me at my valid email address, asking me to supply a valid email address. Very aggravating and should have been a lot smoother than this.

If you are a business owner please do not use Melbourne IT or webcentral. They were responsible for our website going down at one of the busiest periods due to a technician error. This technician error cost us thousands of dollars in lost revenue and staff time to restablish DNS settings. Their backend is full of bugs (we cannot change DNS… Read more

settings) and their customer service is lacking. We have multiple websites with them and they did not notify us of renewal and the website was not renewed. Another site was paid for but cancelled in the backend.

Avoid.

Zero stars. Absolute rubbish. Multiple excessive bills for things that shouldn't be charged. AUDA changes have nuked a lot of domains with the wrong eligibility ID and they are thieving $250 to update ABNs. Support is offshore and rubbish. DO NOT USE overpriced products and underwhelming Support. Will be reporting to ombudsman where possible.

Angel was the only person from your team who sorted out all issues starting from new email id creation of a long pending verification, deleting email id of previous employee, and finally changing the phone number of disabled MFA. The admin still had the old number on the MFA. Many thanks Angel.
