Updated review

Responsive to requets and have good services. Only issue is with mh e-mail being reconnected to a different viewer such as Outlook. It has taken three weeks and I still don't have it connected but at least my e-mail is working again.

It sure seems like you keep adding things to charge me for, such that I can't keep track of what they are or what they do. The cost of your services has consistently gone up. I will be switching hosts soon. Even if another host does the same thing, at least I'll be better off for a while.

I have been attempting to contact my original sales person as he said he would help me setup email forwarding for a few accounts. I have not heard from him in a few weeks.

Crappy service on my second Bluehost account after having been a member for more than 10 years. I still have issues with the new site/domain I have built out and it is ALL hosting related. I wish I had built with Godaddy.

Everything seems to be laid out well and customer support is responsive and nice, but you used to have better support options. I picked BlueHost bc I want control of everything, but it can feel a little sprawling at times for a relative amateur.
