I have been unable to edit my website successfully. I did text with someone from WordPress but my problem was not resolved and I have to contact someone else for help. Your advertisements make it sound easy but it is not.
I had one issue and it took months to resolved. Called several times but it problem keep reoccurring. Finally, one person solved it. It should take so may chat
Mostly good. There have been a few times when it has taken longer than expected to fix a logging-in problem with Bluehost. But otherwise, everything else has been great.
I have three accounts which have been impossible to log in to. Plus the additional log in name is unnecessary.
My websites page are not loading on desktop, just on mobile. I tried clearing cache, clearing history, but I get the moving circle of loading. No end in sight.
The original chat lasted about 15 minutes and ended in no resolution. My web site is still down. The result was that a level 2 person would contact me via email in 24 to 48 hours.
Unauthorize charges on card and account blocked
I am using bluehost for a year and this is by far the worse service provider, they have bots on name of support who will give you a scripted answer with interval of 3 minute in each message and will try to end the chat and call with same statement that your issue is resolved and will be impacted from 24 to 48 hours and so it will take more than a month without any solution
Then they will also charge your card and delete your accounts and block you
The new interface is not as user friendly as the previous one.
I try to call you guys, it goes to an endless loop of automated messages. Extremely frustrating!
I get 20-30 pieces of spam for every legitimate email I receive.
System breaks down quite often (Blue Host Customer Service) and the phone lines loop in error. No one seems to know the full product needs when we speak. Perhap all new staff or trainees, but not effective.
Not user friendly. Can't wait for my year to be up so I can switch to WIX.
I'm very disappointed in the ability to get newer versions of MySQL that are required to keep my Drupal site up to date.
I've had nothing but issues with my website and Bluehost support making the issue worse. I contacted them last week for a simple error message I was receiving, and by the end of chat my site was returning a 500 error and was unreachable for several days while support looked into the issue. They finally got the site back up, but it's still having the same issue as before.
There is no flow to this site when trying to create a new website. I am going in circles and running into dead ends. I am not confident I will be able to figure this out.
Great experience, I had some user error but i figured it out
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.
