A lot has been said about Ucoz, that it exists solely thanks to honest word. Personally, I would add that the "outdatedness," for which many criticize Ucoz, is actually its last significant advantage, as it has everything necessary to implement almost any idea without unnecessary problems. However, this review cannot be considered positive, as I am leaving Ucoz, and, strange as it may sound, the reason was my communication with the project leader (*** ***). After that conversation, I realized that the service wouldn't last long with such an attitude. This is not an exaggeration! As is known, in recent days, there have been "certain local events" on Ucoz that opened people's eyes to what is happening behind the scenes of the project and what to expect in the future. It all started with a forced update that completely paralyzed the work of some websites (due to the inability to add new content). It didn't affect me much (I rarely use the News section), but I followed the events in their official Telegram channel for three days. Honestly, I still can't believe that this is written by the project management. The response to all the requests and complaints from people was almost the same - if you are not satisfied, look for another platform. Then came outright insults and accusations towards webmasters that they were to blame and were creating websites incorrectly, that they needed to change their behavior and attitude, as well as the phrase "I read halfway and lost interest" (let me remind you, this is written by the head of Ucoz, who is communicating with webmasters who found themselves unable to update their sites due to the new update). It all ended with one guy in the chat being rudely insulted by the management, and I felt sorry for him (the guy, not the management), as he seemed young and naïve. I offered to help him move his site to another platform and immediately got banned. Here I want to note that I am to blame, and indeed such a phrase in the Ucoz thread is not the best solution. I admit my mistake! But the worst part is that after this, I had to communicate with *** *** in private messages. The results of that communication can be seen in the screenshots (I specifically registered with the same nickname so that no one could say I was a fake or wanted to slander). In the end, Ucoz gives the impression of a project that is no longer interesting to its creators, just as it is to the people who have worked with them for over ten years. Everything functions on inertia, creating an illusion of activity (just to do "something" regardless of the purpose), and the attitude towards people is comparable to how one treats germs on their hands. I deliberately did not touch on other aspects of Ucoz (from gray schemes of working with VIPs to hidden subscriptions and casino ads on free accounts, etc.). A lot has already been said about this! Therefore, I wanted to dedicate this post to a rarer phenomenon called "the inner workings." My personal conclusion is that this is no longer the project it used to be, and there is absolutely nothing to do on it now. Especially while enduring constant rudeness and disrespect!
