Bluehost has been extremely difficult to use. Once every month or so I am forced to reset my password without any warning. Which usually forces me to have to chat with someone. When I'm done using the chat to be helped, the chat remains open (even though I close it out) every time I come to the website, resulting in a very loud "ding" sound.

The looks of your website keeps changing making me wonder if it's a fictitious site.

Your website is forever malfunctioning, I'm constantly having to log out and back in, because it has trouble transferring over to wordpress. I really hope my costumers do not have trouble with my website once I launch, I absolutely do not think I will be renewing my contract with Bluehost. To much lagging on your hosting site

The hosting keeps getting more expensive over the years. I'm considering moving to another hosting if it continues.

Today I could not log in with my regular log in. And when I put in the email to send me a reminder, it didn't recognize my email for about 10 times. Then sent me a login ID that I have never used before.

Service has been slow, rude and there is no real way to contact someone when you have a complaint, you are just passed onto the chat. I was told I was getting a refund and no one could tell me how much that would be. It didn't come through, I contacted Bluehost again and was told I wasn't eligible for a refund, despite the first person saying it would be with me in a few hours. Terrible service.

Unbelievable how unsupportive this costumer service is. A simple restore issue has taken more than a week and hours of monologues in chat.

I can't express enough how grateful I am to have discovered Bluehost for my hosting needs. From the moment I signed up, their seamless interface and intuitive tools made setting up my website a breeze. But what truly sets Bluehost apart is their unparalleled customer support. Whenever I've encountered an issue or needed guidance, their team has been there every step of the way, offering prompt and effective solutions with a warmth and professionalism that's truly commendable. With Bluehost, I not only have a reliable hosting provider, but also a dedicated partner in my online journey. Thank you, Bluehost, for being the best option for me, and for always being there to lend a helping hand.
