My both domain has been attacked. I have 5 years of experience with different hostings but having this bad experience on yours.
I dont want you to host my email anymore and cant figure out how to remove it. Id like more information about upgrading my hosting
I was threatened that my current plan was going to be downgraded the service is $#*!!
Slow, complicated, its not reliable the whole thing sucks ASS! And I wish I never made my sites with shitty blue host.
It's a bit cluttered. Navigating to features I typically use like the zone editor is cumbersome.
Ok. Its been ok but i havent had time to work on it much
I STILL don't want to set up a wordpress site, nor do I want to sign up to any extras. Surly your AI can see that it does not need to keep showing me these items EVERY time I log on, perhaps every tenth time would be more acceptable.
We are facing email issues for outgoing and incoming the least twice a week specially during late afternoon and evening time.
Confusing layout. Used to be very simple. Now when I logon: a) cant get rid of "Message Us" box. B) to upload file to my website I have to click on "settings" - are you kidding me?
Terrible service. Terrible company. 15 years with BH and ready to leave.
Once I muddled through figuring out how things work, I found this is a fun platform to work with.
I have received a lot of great help from customer service. My only complaint is the amount of time it takes for each step to be implemented. One step took up to a week! But everyone I talked to was very nice & helpful.
Not an easy site to manage or set-up, and not worth the money.
Everything is out of place, can't find a thing. Not renewing for sure.
I have had some glitchy happenings since the new backend update for Bluehost. Im hoping it all gets sorted. I personally much more preferred the layout and backend previously, but im getting used to it.
I miss the classic cPanel setup. I know you have simplified things for everyday users, but it is not as solid for us professional developers.
I may have received a scam email about renewing. Customer service was rude and chaotic. I called the number saved on my phone, so they may have bypassed/rerouted you C Service number.
Your 2-step verification system is broken, could not enter the code sent to my phone, I even tried to copy/paste it in, it kept saying it was not the right code.
I cannot reach anyone who can help! Your company does not have a helpful support team, or anyone to talk to for that matter. I have 1/4 websites transferred so far, and the 1 website will not load on the back end. Therefore, we haven't migrated the other 3 websites over. This process has dragged out way longer than necessary and we are considering switching to a different hosting company with better customer service
Very below average, I had multiple malware attacks on my sites and issues logging in to my account. The support at time has been good but has also been terrible to the point where rather than continuing to try and help me, they have hung up on me!
Bluehost has been completely unable to connect my website to the Yoast SEO Premium that I paid for through them for weeks. It is really making me not like this service since I am unable to work on my website and every day costs me. Other than that they have been great but this needs to get fixed TODAY.
I like the website and the support usually answers quickly.
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.
