There are too many problems with the server that takes a way too long to fix. Wait times are too long.

I have been having an issue with a professional email account that I recently purchased. The issue was that my login password was not allowing me to login to the email. I contacted support 4 days ago. They could not fix the issue. They even tried to reset the password themselves and login. They could not. This issue was sent to a higher level of support. I got an email from the higher level support to reset my password within the guidelines set forth by bluehost. Not only have I already tried this but the first level of support also tried it.

We had nothing but issues with creating this webiste. Bluehost built it, we paid a lot of money to do so. If you check our customer service experiences, you can see the number of issues we have had. And they are still not resolved.

Bluehost is an easy platform to use
February 17, 2024

Bluehost is an easy platform to use. Their customer service is excellent, and I have really enjoyed building my site with them. They are only a chat or call away for any questions or assistance.
