Service is contantly out, can't access account at least once a week. When I contact support it never ends in a solution. I always just have to try again later. I won't be renewing Bluehost next time. I will be switching to GoDaddy or another more reliable hosting service for my business. Bluehost is also known to be quite slow.

Website down for over 24 hours last Friday and now down again because the server on which my account is hosted is currently under having performance issue. Your admins are working on reducing the server load and getting the server back to full functionality but no idea how long this will take. Not good that this is two weeks running I have no website. Not happy at all.

Last year I tried using Bluehost's paid-for programming support to create a new website at "KnowYourWorldview.org" for my grandchildren. Problem is...every time I called I got someone different and felt like I had to start over explaining what I was trying to do. At age 79, I don't want to do that!...You should setup a system where I can talk to the same tech/programmer every time so I can develop the site. Maybe use a pin number or something to access the same tech/programmer person every call.

In the last year, the email service and website builder have had a lot of glitches! I spent a lot of time not being able to edit my websites, which wasted my time and money! Definitely, next year I will change hosting...

I lost the ability to use staging
February 16, 2024

I lost the ability to use staging. I have tried several times to have it restored by support, and they insist that it's working. I can no longer figure out how to explain, that when I click on the Staging button I redirects back to production.

Your new interface leaves out vast amounts of account details, costs and is deceptive along with being confusing.

We have had mutliple issues with our domain not working since we purchased. We are still having issues with the email links not working. Bluehost has said that the issue is with our website but this does not appear to be the case.

I've reached out multiple times to fix an SSL and DNS situation for my website with no clear answer as to why I can't access my WordPress hosted site.
