I thought I were getting a complete package with everything included, but now it seems like I need to complement the website with additional features that weren't initially provided, and I have to continue purchasing them.
It took from October 23,2023 until FEbraury 14,2023 to transfer my website even when all people were aboard for the migration. Support members often contradicted each other and had no tolerance or knowledge of anything more than they had been told. My absolutely worst experience with a web host in all my years of building websites.
Good stuff hey easy to use Judy some login issues sometimes u know
I would like an easier way to log into my email account.
Too many hoops to jump through to get to the information i want...which is daily traffic at my site
Don't like the layout and text size... Slow and takes to long to send messages!
I love Bluehost. It is easy and reliable! Friendly and professionalism always willing to help and get that problem solved.
I have been trying to get my site live and it won't go live! I cannot reach my site when I go to the domain! What is going on?
In 2010 you were the best customer service out there. Now you have limited your phone techs to "delete your cache, sorry thats all we can help with". After years of getting different and conflicting information about products with every service person I talk to, I am leaving bluehost, as soon as I can get the rest of the strings untangled and removed from your service.
In all my years of being in business, I have never experienced such poor service as I have received from Bluehost. Brought my domain and email services over to Bluehost on January 22nd, and I still can't send or receive anything from my email accounts.
Customer service is the deal breaker for any business, by saving money through Philippines call center without proper training, will cost you many customers leaving because they don't have a higher level to complain about the horrible service they received! I'm actively searching for a better hosting provider that they have a true tech support, not a call center, they are a joke! Sadly!
Hard at first as i was unfamiliar with your system but now I am pleased with your services
Great, no hassles and honest service, unlike Godaddy!
This is much more difficult to learn than was presented to me.
Frustrating. Wonderblocks seemed to have disappeared. I am now testing to determine if I need to sign-on through bluehost and NOT wordpress in order to retrieve them.
It is ALWAYS difficult on this site! Difficult to log in (every time), difficult to renew if you don't want to use auto renew. It is asking what account I want to use for payment...there are a ton of them listed, including a company I have never heard of, and no option to add the credit card I want to use.
It is so hard to configure and figure out. Why can't you drag and move the spacing between blocks. It's not intuitive and user friendly.
Mark answered all of my questions, worked quickly, and explained everything to me fully.
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.
