Bluehost is hard to understand. It seems like other companies in the mix are trying to hawk products such as Site Lock. I have had issues with my site being down DNS settings changing without my intervention and email failing. I think these issues were resolved after I brought them to their attention.
I did design my site before moving to Bluehost. That being said I am not a professional web designer. I just used what I had available and did what I could. My web life did become more complicated after moving.
Nice on, I truly enjoy all the navigation's. Thanks.
I had an issue with my website and the help was effective and the person whom I talked to very nice
Customer support is terrible, did not resolve any issues I had
I love the updated look and feel of the website platform.
I cannot login to my cpanel from my laptop. No one can help me fix the issue!
From the time I have been using blues host gave full support
I have been experiencing difficulties logging in recently—not just once, but many times. I don't know what the problem is with your login system. I hope it will be fixed soon.
$#*!ty!
Word press software doesn't allow for full editing.
Was good for yrs. Sold out? Changed site and everything crashed. No service no help not site and they kept taking my money with no refund
Very cluttered with too much stuff you are trying to sell me!
I cannot access or interact (e.g., change payment methods) through my dashboard. Nearly ever page has at least one fault and some pages simply appear with no clickable links.
I don't like the new interface and one of my websites are down despite calling multiple times.
Terrible bluehost hosting these days. In 2013 until 2017, it was best but not they are terrible. User interface is no good and the there's constant push to buy additional products.
We have been having a issue with the migration of our website from the Plus hosting to Basic hosting. They migrated an old version of the website and have not fixed it to what was the current version of the website despite many phone calls. We have spent hours and hours on the phone trying to get this all accomplished as well as spent alot of money on it with still no results.
I would like it if you could help me not just host my account for Google but actually assist me with accessing my google accout for updates etc. instead of giving me several phone numbers to speak with GOOGLE AND AI after being on hold for long times
My question was answered when I used the chat box. Previously my chat experience was terrible. Because they refused to provide me a refund.
Even after paying for spam filters the amount of spam I get in emails is ridiculous AND my business emails to other customers are often flagged and blocked.
I do see Bluehost trying to change somethings to make user experience better.
Nice to see. For me, I want to do less and not have to go through so many steps get things done. Having said that I am not a full time design builder. Word press I believe is a hassle to use, AI builder's that are coming interest me.
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.
