Bluehost Blues
January 3, 2024

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.

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.

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.

Terrible bluehost hosting these days
January 2, 2024

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.

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.
