I have connection problems and your technical support takes a long time to solve
He solicitado ayuda 2 veces con un problema de recepción de correos a nuestro correo profesional contratado en el Hosting, y aún sigue sin resolverse. En cada ocasión me han dicho que debo esperar por la propagación de la corrección (lo cual entiendo), pero en ninguna de las ocasiones se ha corregido y estamos perdiendo tiempo y dinero porque no podemos iniciar las pautas publicitarias ni lanzar nuestro sitio Web porque necesitamos el email funcionando para varias cosas.
I couldn't figure out why my blog site wouldn't come up on my phone but looked okay on a device. I called customer service and described the problem, and she demonstrated active listening by repeating what I had told her, then solved the problem. She stayed on the phone with me until I was satisfied.
Cannot get anyone to help on the chat option. How can I contact Support?
Access and service has been spotty and inconsistent.
I have not been liking the service for the past year. I have been with the company for years and it appears there have been organizational changes and I am not happy with them.
My site has been doing down a lot and I have not been able to get into my portal without calling customer service. I have many domains with Bluehost and I do not like not being able to login when I need to.
Seems Bluehost is made for only WordPress websites.
If you are planning to deploy node/angular/php/reactjs
No one supports you at all because there is no expertise.
Also, please don't purchase a 6-month / 1-year package because you will not get any money back if support is not good.
Below are problems I faced recently
1. Centos7 does not support node18
2. I purchased a managed service hosting plan but
The team doesn't know about server configuration,
They just provided me with centos7
3. Support is very weak.
4. There is no proper channel for communication.
5. you can not escalate any issue with hire management.
I like the new format and your techs answered all my questions allowing me to change my pages.
Confusing and I'm feeling a little lost. More and more keeps adding on to my cost and I'm frustrated
Ease of navigation is a touch tricky, customer support has been great
2FA should have an option to "remember this device and bypass MFA next time" (first star off)
First page has promotion and I have to click another small link to get where I want - the big link is to upsell (second start off)
Just learning. Excited about all you have to offer for free.
Generally good but not finding things very intuitive in regards to the website building and linking emails to my domain - having difficulty with that and had to reach out for assistance multiple times
The servers are generally fast. I'm having problems with DNS setup. The site runs on a temporary domain. It also works on non-temporary domains. But the installation does not complete. I think it's been over 72 hours. The WordPress sites I installed from Softcolous do not appear in the hosting accounts. Apart from that, Bluehost looks good right now in terms of price and performance
Since July 2022, I continuously have problems with my sites going down and it always ends up being a problem with hosting. Sometimes the agents on the phone help, but sometimes the agents make it worse.
The support chat was quite slow and has some queue
It has been one full month since migration of my three (3) websites began. Numerous requests for support have been submitted through Chat, In writing and by phone. The vast majority of these requests have been frustrating and unsuccessful. I have also experienced "Mysterious" disappearances of databases, security ID's and websites.
Continued upsells make the Bluehost experience downright tedious and at times frustrating. Less-knowledgeable users get bamboozled into things they do not need.
BlueHost was my go to hosting service for myself and my customers, but lately support is non-existent, and the products don't work, i.e. Waiting nearly a month for a WordPress install.
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.
