This is a fussy site. I often have to keep hitting refresh to get my pages to load or go to a different browser even when Chrome has been updated.
I am still learning, but I am satisfied with the experience so far.
Stop moving things around!
It is just a waste of time trying to reorient and find what was all completely easy and available with the cPanel. I'm not sure what your goal is, but it isn't worth it; consider the needs and wants of the majority of customers ahead of internal goals that degrade our experience as users.
For two days I have not been able to get to my website.
I wish the opening page went to my account, not a sales page.
WP Pro service is usually very helpful. It would be nice if links to documentation for the various plugins were easier to find.
I don't like all the steps I have to go through to log in. It's like 4 steps now, instead of the previous 2.
I wish I had a dedicated account manager. It's frustrating to have to keep explaining my business to each new person I talk to, and quality varies widely depending on who I'm working with.
My site looks nice, but its also very complicated with all of the different overlays, Bluehost/Wordpress/Elementor etc.
It's going well. Not a fan of the email platform. Otherwise, great
The account is fast and secure. This is great for me
My website has been inaccessible for weeks an Ive not found a solution so I'm moving to another host
Difficult to manage, various issues with site over the last year, including bluehost website builder being down for an extended period of time.
Why is this site so nonintuitive? Now after upon legal formation of the company and launching the site, it looks like I created a blog. Boo hoo. JWH4.
Good overall although there is a noticeable lag when editing the site.
You made me do something I never imagined I would, switching companies.
Bluehost was incredibly good for years and now it's incredibly bad.
All this in one year.
Currently, after a month of asking you to solve the SSH access to the server, I continue to spend an hour every couple of days on the support chat, and you don't fix it.
You tell me in a few minutes, in a few hours, etc., and it's always the same.
You don't solve it.
Last week I was unable to access my account for several days. You couldn't solve it either; it was through Facebook that I found a solution.
I really bought a domain on GoDaddy las week and am looking at how to migrate everything there. Because I see that Bluehost really doesn't care about letting their customers down.
We have commitments to third parties, and Bluehost lies to us without caring about this.
Thanks for the good years.
For this last year of lies and disrespect, let it be what God wants.
After the UI changes its continuos pain to work on blue host platform. DNS entries are not reflecting consistantely having almost issues every week.
My main site has been down for a week. All fixes attempted have caused other sites to fail. Service couldn't possibly be WORSE!
I have perennial issues with email service requiring repeated calls for assistance.
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.
