Not the cheapest hosting service at Bluehost but definitely the best service.
Amazing products, wonderful and fast customer service. Their team knows what they are doing and is well trained. Looking to keep working with them and most probably scale up my membership

Clean. The whole interface is minimal, with streamlined UI. I love it.

When reaching out to customer support, I get different answers to what problem I am facing. Communication is not the best, information provided is inaccurate and not static, I have to contact you guys mulitple times to figure stuff out since one person says something and the other says something else.

I spoke to live chat 4 times to get my domains assigned to my hosting plan. Answers varied and it still hasn't been resolved and had to be escalated - answer still outstanding.

You have chat boxes on each page that you claim to be able to help a novice. Not so, Of all the times I've gone in a chat box, ONE lady helped me. Everyone else claims it's not their dept. after wasting a LOT of my time.

Had to wait nearly 48 hours to get into my account. Lost password feature wasn't working. Spent over two hours in chat sessions the first day and then called the next day just to be told support was aware of the issue and it would be another day before they could get it resolved.

Experiencing many issues with the auto renewing option, then a second charge to transfer a domain from Go-Daddy to BlueHost. And when I call in it seems that the customer service has been outsourced to another country. That is un-American, please consider bring it back to the States so I can understand when talking to them.

The servers in portugal are just incredibly crazy slow... no explanations. No help or support regarding this matter. It's very frustrating and impossible to find help or troubleshoot.

YOUR panel is amazing
April 15, 2024

YOUR panel is amazing. Very user friendly. Very easy. Even a person without any knowledge, can do their own webpage in less than hour. Rest is to only loading to pictures and test. You are the best for me. So clear. What ever i am looking there is in the menu and so easy find & understood & figure it out. Even with my limited english.
