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.

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
March 8, 2024

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.

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!

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.

4 or 5 phone calls, and still my website is down. If you can't fix it soon, I'm going to another host.

Good for the price

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The system is so outdated technologically.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.
