Subdomains and A Records sometimes do not update when changing ip addresses. Support does can not fix them. Will be leaving bluehost after decades of use through clients and myself.

The billing system is super annoying
January 1, 2024

The billing system is super annoying. "Renew" button did not work. No invoices were emailed. Notices that a payment did not go through do not provide any details, just a log in link - this is annoying when one has multiple accounts and services.

I tried to set up a PIN as requested, I entered a valid 6 digit PIN, and received an error message saying "Something went wrong" and so I had to skip securing my account.
