No idea why I'm being asked this question right now nor what it specifically refers to. This is a poor choice of getting user feedback.

I hardly get support anytime I use the chatbox. Moreover, during chat, it takes an excessively long time to get a reply.

Updated review

Not at all user-friendly with the new cpanel design. Need to scroll all the way down to see the quick links which is not fair for all the users. Also the support agents now a days are not having much knowledge about what they do.

Previous review

Nowadays Bluehost is getting more downtime and the support team is not at all providing an exact timeline of a particular issue. They are not even cooperative when prompted for escalated support. I had a horrible experience with VPS hosting, the VPS hosting went down, and waiting almost 64Hrs to get it resolved while 7000 users were affected from my end.

I hired a website builder to design my website, but they said they can't see anything when they type in my website: swancounselingcenter.com
How can they gain access to put my website design into action?
Thank you,

Its been around 4-months and I have never received the free help that was promised me to assist with my website when I made the purchase.
Several customer service personnel said someone was to contact me but that never happened.
So I'll just try doing it myself, without the help bluehost promise, otherwise another 4 months will pass by without my website being published.
Thanks.

Never had issues before or it was fixed within reasonable time. Now without me changing anything on my site it started to have serious issues and nobody from your service is capable or willing to help. The BIG thing is that the problems started without me making any changes. I have been with your service for almost 20 years but it feels my loyalty is not appreciated. If you would like to reply to my comment: *******@yahoo.com
