This was my worst experience in transferring my site that I have had over the years. I had always done my work before but thought that it would maybe save time to pay the high fee for the transfer of my website. I was wrong I should have done it myself and saved time and money.
They were slow and refused to respond to emails. It was just an altogether bad experience. I would never recommend Bluehost because of this. I am only staying because I paid out so much I can't go back.
The series of basic bluehost functions and building a site is very informative for the novice level that I am. Thanks
I purchased the Pro plan through BlueHost with never having a website in the past or not knowing what to expect and the finished website was far greater than I expected! I compared it to competing companies and non of them compared to what BlueHost created for me! The SEO team and account manager are very knowledgeable and experienced who have kept me honestly informed if the process and everything they are willing to do to make my company show to the rest of the world!
Some quirks of Bluehost is preventing a 3rd Party platform to accept settings to make our emails Google friendly.
I had an issue with my website and I was unable to access it. I contacted bluehost support and they dealt with my issue in a professional and timely manner. Couldn't recommend them enough!
Using Bluehost along with WordPress AI site builder was easy. I had my site up and running in a couple of hours and was able to update it with media and text as I found time. After looking at other so called free site builders and hosts, I foung them lacking and I am glad I went with Bluehost.
Easy, quick and understandable! I went right to where I needed to go and completed my tasks. No issues or problems.
Were able to solve the problem working with subcontractor.
Thanks for answering my questions quickly and efficiently and in a very friendly manner.

We were having trouble understanding how to migrate our domain for hosting. Everything was explained really clearly and the agent was really helpful. It worked!
I'm not technical. So, when I heard how easy it was to run a blog with Bluehost on your side, I decided to go for it. Other than the "very" polite, and patient customer service, and choice of texting, or calling, it wasn't worth the amount of time I had to learn. In my opinion, as a "beginner", you should already have some kind of knowledge, (even if it's minimal) before thinking it's as simple as it seems. Try to hold off on spending the money if you can. From what I understand, WordPress is free and you can always add things later. But, don't take my word for it. Remember - I'm a beginner. ;)
I have always had a positive experience with Bluehost. Their customer service has been friendly, fun, and educational. Whenever I had an issue, it was resolved promptly. However, my recent experience was exceptional. The representative was not only professional, knowledgeable, and friendly but also went above and beyond by providing me with accurate and timely problem-solving.
I have always had excellent service from Blue host over the years. Very knowledgeable staff who go out of their way to solve problems. Very happy.
The person who helped me was very helpful and kind.
I needed to renew my services and the representative who helped me, was friendly and efficient.
I couldn't log into my website to make edits. The rep was very helpful and was able to walk me through and get me in.
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.
