The hosting is great and best but the email always has issues. Since it is vital to my organization, I wish the email issues were solved, the emails we send are delivered after a few hours and raised a lot of tickets for this too.
I had to jump thru hoops to get my free domain. Your customer service is horrible. If I wasn't working with the free web site guys, I'd still be sitting at my computer cussing you out under my breath. Please feel free to review my account for what I am talking about.
The new, to me, interface is horrible! Why do I have to select a web site when I only have one? Why isn't cPanel front and center as soon as I log on? This whole thing is crap.
Im really tired of you pushing products on me every time I login... usually the same products over and over and over and over again. You also hide the "no thanks" button. Displeased.
At the moment I am satisfied with the service, the only thing I understand that needs to be improved are the server crashes that were very frequent and this greatly affects the websites and leaves losses because the vast majority of their clients live off their websites.
After visual update bugs occur since when creating certain records in the type A DNS or modifying them, they do not appear on the platform or at multiple level, said DNS or change, although the system indicates that it has already been carried out successfully, and if you try to review The change indicates an alarm that already exists and many times it is necessary to change the registry or try it for several days, which can stop the operation or affect deployments and changes in applications.
Can you stick to a single layout of the menu? Every time I log are changes. Why Cpanel email, Domains and Hostings is on the opposite side of the screen than the Cpanel. Plus 16 numbers SECURITY PIN? You must be insane. Who is going remember 16 number. Credit Card require 3 Debit 4 numbers. Are your Ideas how to make life difficult for users are worth it weight in GOLD?
My website has been down for 6 weeks, and their response is "working on it". No they aren't I have lost business due to this crap Bluehost platform not syncing correctly with Wordpress. All my other sites work well. Terrible incompetent customer service. I actually had to PAY someone off Upwork to help me, instead. Ludacris!
There's been much confusion on numbers to call and who to speak to from your representatives. Yesterday I was passed between several reps and phone numbers until finally someone was able to assist me. Also, I requested changes to my website on February 15 and as of yesterday none had been made.
The changes that have been made to the account home page and control panel are not intuitive at all. We have our website built on Weebly and it's almost impossible now to find where to log in to work on the website. Everytime I log in, I spend 10 minutes just clicking around trying to find what I need. Terrible design.
The new interface is a mess, the old one was too reliable and friendly.
I can't get help from Bluehost with my email. All I am being told is that is is full. Not good enough!
Been great! Everything works well and I haven't had any problems. Though, it's all a bit complicated, but I feel like that kinda comes wtih the territory.

Poor service. Chat support always lie that they have fixed it but truly its not.
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.
