Trouble with password. Cannot figure out how to put a signature in the email. Not really easy to work with
Still no solution for our case S-*******?
Our websites are offline since last week, we cannot proceed with the payment because we nor you are unable to update our VAT number...
The five stars is because customer service has been awesome. I've been pulling out my hair trying to figure out WordPress, but that's on me.
Website goes down for all the websites more often that I would like. And Can get quite slow sometimes, though not often.
Very good experience, Thank you for your services.
I'm trying to set up online store but there is no help unless you pay outrageous prices.
I am switching hosts because Bluehost is charging me over $70 for multiple users that I am not using and they won't downgrade it.
Meh. Bluehost is messy and laggy. Too pushy about trying to sell me things i don't need so it feels spammy too. But it also does the job i need it to.
I've been a Bluehost user for over 10 years. Site has completely changed. Harder to find what I'm looking for. Too much pushing to buy new services. Redirects make it impossible to log into my webmail.
Nice company that I have worked with for years and now I am working with them as well.
User INterface has dropped considerably. Pricing is too high for the confusion
I am having issues with my website and themes... and the service has been less than acceptable!
Your system is way too convoluted, logging in is always an issue, not matter what i do, and now you added pin? Really? Your 2step auth is a joke, you add an ADD just before my management panel? Really!? Why do i pay? So you can be an add source? Stop it!
Great customer service and hosting platform overall.
From someone who had no experience working with website design to having a somewhat functional website this experience has been great. I know it could be better and I work a little at time on the site while putting out content.
Wordpress and Bluehost has made this process so much easier. With top notch help articles to easy and friendly customer service. I am so glad I went with Bluehost and Wordpress.
Help desk agent was great! Fixed. My problem and answered my questions.
4 or 5 phone calls, and still my website is down. If you can't fix it soon, I'm going to another host.
Fairly easy to use, but lacking in customer support.
Good for the price. Sometimes websites load slower and I will randomly get signed out when working on websites.
The system is so outdated technologically. The high amount of ads make me not want to use it.
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.
