I've been with Bluehost for many years now, and I must say, the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I signed up, I knew I was in good hands. I couldn't be happier with my decision to host my website with Bluehost. Their commitment to excellence, coupled with their reliable service and exceptional support, sets them apart from the competition. If you're looking for a hosting provider you can trust, look no further than Bluehost. Highly recommended!
I have been a loyal Bluehost customer for over 15 years. Bluehost has always been good until recently. The New interface is not good. I have had to call and chat on various occasions because of several issues related to the new interface (such a billing issues and other issues like linking a new domain to my hosting acct and more)
Pretty, Pretty Good for the most part, although there have been times that Bluehost has been down and sometimes it goes down for a day or two which affects my business, but this doesn't happen often. I have been with Bluehost for over 15 years.
I made a payment 2 days ago to renew the hosting. It had not been renewed yet. System says processing for days.
I can't go straight to my email. I have to login to hosting each time and authenticate through a text before I can gain entry to my email. This is very annoying!
I want to cancel my website and you are not making it very clear how to do this
Hosting is working pretty good but I could use some help of the cPanel because we're not getting our emails, we don't delete and nothings in the trashcan so where are are missing
The prices are not competitive after the first year
YOUR NEW INTERFACE SUCKS AND IS HORRIBLE AND NOT USER FRIENDLY - plus YOUR KNOWLEDGE BASE IS ALL SET TO THE OLD FACE AND NOTHING WORKS. WITHOUT HOURS OF HELP FROM CHAT AND THEN YOU STILL GET NOW WHERE
Helpful when reached out to. Wordpress panel is clunky and not intuitive
Don't show that pop up screen asking me about security. Once is fine. I'll buy it if I want, stop telling me to do so.
Websites constantly go offline, was locked out for days (from what i know), most the time i cannot log in because of bots trying to log into my bluehost. Services are not always available.
Learning the new interface of Blue host home page.
YOur system is unbelievably complicated and your directions don't work.
I don't know why there is advertising in the "Domains" section instead of the domains that I've paid you to host.
Still upset about building a site on the *brand new* BH builder and then the builder getting taken away for months...
Ohh and *edits to 3 stars* there are now like 3 different screens I have to click thru that are purely an ad or could be skipped entirely.
Open your online store and welcome the world.
Build, promote and start selling from a secure online store backed by the powerful tools of WooCommerce and YITH.
For only $4.99/mo*
*billed annually
No thanks, continue to Account Manager
Duck you im already paying you and clicked 'no' 100 times, i have to login and do this daily? Yukky
I click on cpanel email and it asks me if I really wanna go to my mail? Why just take me to manage the email accounts? If I wanna do forwarding ill click somewhere on the next page
Also the chat dings every 5 min even tho i dont interact with it
The site works mostly how it did when hosting sites before and people have been nice. My email I think is snow fixed but I was told it was fixed the first time I contacted customer service and i waited about a week before contacting again because I was told may take a while and it never ended up working. The second person who helped me got me going before they let me go
You guys force me to change my plan and with that lost all the features I used to have with you
It seems that items I need are harder to find and take extra steps to get to!
My site goes down for an average of 15 minutes per month.
Answer: NO - please do not go with Bluehost, it will save you a lot of hassle. They have the worst customer service and take your accounts offline just so you upgrade for more money even though the thresholds were not met. This means they are just running a scam by taking your websites offline and then offering the solution to get them back online by paying more money to them. My websites were down for 6 days and I've lost hundreds of dollars in income, have to pay my developers for all the work they did and NONE of it will be refunded by Bluehost. I migrated everything away from them and they do not even want to refund my sign-up costs. It is a total scam run but incapable and money-grabbing people whereas the CEO of Endurance group Jeff Fox made $10.000.000 in 2019 alone and the CEO of Bluehost Suhaib Zaheer $2.300.000. Be aware you do not get scammed by them, I've warned you. They are an evil company run by people with zero morals. I am going to report their theft to the FTC, BBB, and law enforcement. I will not go down without a fight and they will regret stealing from me and other affiliates as their reputation sinks in the toilet.
