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.

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!

Frustrating
February 29, 2024

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!
February 29, 2024

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.
