I love Blue Host except the email system (c panel) is not reliable. Some messages are not forwarded as specified, which is a problem when clients are counting on me.

I don't know what the HE!
March 10, 2024

I don't know what the HE! Is going on. I purchased this 2 months ago but had some pressing issues that didn't allow me to get back to this until yesterday and, first I had to call to get my email to work properly and then called to get back to designing my website and I can't get back to what I was doing 2 months ago & when I called I was asked to pay a 3rd fee, now to have one of your developers design my website & that is not what I want & that is not what I was promised & sold & was not told that I would have to do so when I purchased the site.

Pretty happy with the site so far and my experience. Still a learning curve for me figuring out how to set up my blog and sometimes even have trouble logging in, but thankful for this platform

Very slow website, and after changing the user interface, the experience is not good. When logging in, I should be taken to the account page where I can start the work I logged in for, instead of giving me a promo page, that takes two clicks to get to my account page.

In general, my experience with Bluehost has been ok. Right now I'm experiencing a complex issue related to the DNS on my account that has taken more the 2 weeks to resolve. It is still not resolved with no ETA.

The Bluehost Cpanel keeps getting more and more difficult to use. You are attempting to simplify the interface and experience, but you're taking away all the options and tools that long-time customers have come to depend on.

My credit card was stolen and I didn't realize I needed to update card for your billing. It would have been nice to know that you had a billing issues, which I could have corrected quickly, instead of just stopping my service.

The new login mechanism is horrible. The message us box that continually flashes and beeps is the most annoying. Stuff is not easier to get to -- requires more clicks to get to the superuser config options.
