I think the last platform transition was not well planned. We had major delays and issues. And we are still getting some outage time. But in general, except for few outages here and there, the service is excellent.
Your site is terrible on mobile. I have domains I bought that are not showing in my account. Customer service isn't helpful. I felt like the dude just ignored me and never answered my questions. And there is not a single place for me to see how much I'm paying. Blue host has done downhill.
I've experience problem with emails not being delivered almost 8 months until now!
Many of your helpdesk coworks shutdown chat on purpose, pretending that I've been away for too long. It's a complete scam what you're doing and you should be ashamed of it!
Al momento la cosa rueda suave y sin inconvenientes.
I manage my personal blogs in Wordpres as i want, so far without problems.
Some items are great, others need improvement. But overall better than average experience.
I bought with you because you had no limitations, the new limitations make me migrate to a hosting that at least does not limit the number of websites
Many plug-ins are for a fee. There is a lot of advertising. If you want to customise something, it's very difficult or impossible.
Very poor design and to many steps... all actions is delayed
Email spamming is your weak spot. I am continously on the black listing of many other sites. Causing many recepients not to get my emails without them knowing and therefore without me knowing they didnt receieve
My site was oown no one helping me to get my webiste as of dated jan 25
Your customer care sucks. I've been trying to get my hosting renewed and it's of no help. Wasted half of my day.
I have gained a wealth of experience since i started operating with website.
Now, i can do certain component when it comes to publishing contents.
Thank you.
The domain propagation is really slow, This hosting force us to use their plugins even if you uninstall
I don't know how to add items it was set up by pro consulting and now i feel they blew me off and i paid them good money for a site I cant use and aim not even sure if my business name is correct
Overpriced, to many separate opt-ins and complicated
My sister has used BlueHost for years and encouraged me to sign up here but it seems that they are now really all about the money. I feel like they have seperated services that used to be included in their overall price points. If I had known that it would now cost me to move my domain (my sister said it had been free in the past) as well as extra for email services (also use to be included apparently) I would have looked elsewhere.
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.
