I find this platform to be more torture than help. I've never found an online space to be so difficult to access and navigate.

Hard to unsubscribe from auto renewal. Even if selected in account settings have to manually contact Bluehost as you are charged anyway.

Really really, slooooooow customer service, long waiting for a response the robot in the chat is very poor and it takes a while to get to talk to an agent and the response time is terrible.

I have been for an extra quarterly hosting to get my files and backups from my site to take it with me to a different hosting provider.

In fact I wrote this review while waiting for a response in Bluhost useless/Slow Chat.
The reason I leave Blue host? Well after three years the prize for my hosting were too expensive for one light weight site.

The new layout is not easy to navigate. It's hard to find the cpanel etc. The graphics look nice but the navigation is not so straightforward.

Confusing interface
March 2, 2024

Confusing interface. Web Builder is a poor tool. Customer service is taking too long to respond (you overwhelm them with too many clients at a time). Overall, just waiting for my subscription to expire and I am outta here.

Its was good, but since 2024 it's so bad to deal with, for support you have to wait more than 5 minutes, also with they respond they need more 10 minutes to find the problem,then they dont have to access to solve it they open tickets and take more than 48h some time 72h - and the problem is from the server not from the user i face more 4 problems since 2024 until date
