I think your service and products are great. I used to use godaddy, but switched do to lower pricing.
The only thing I think you could improve is the self help.
I find myself having to contact support for things that i think I should be able to figure out and do myself. But maybe that is an issue with me more than you.
The customer support is very poor, the people in the chat working for you are extremely rude and they don't know what they're talking about
Customer service and the customer service platform are both horrible. Chat feature us ridiculous.
Email is frequently bounced back with this sort of error.
Perioodically this makes the Bluehost emaiul service iunfit for prupose.
Host eig-west.smtp.a.cloudfilter.net [34.223.136.48]
MTP error from remote mail server after end of data:

Hope in the future can add my chinese phone number as security number.
Bluehost support and product have always been at its highest standards. So far, the number of years I've been with them has been excellent. Thank you so much as always.
Blue Host keeps black listing my local IP address for some reason. This has been an ongoing issue since I created the account. Unacceptable.
I'm so new to this website world. Ive been very confused a few times and have had to call. It's been 50/50 on the help.
When i log in, i expect to see my data and not an ad tagged as the "welcome" page.
Very intuitive interface and easy to access a lot of my go-to items
It's not trivial to log into my email control panel to check whether you've withheld any email (which I have to do every day).
Why does Roundcube keep a copy of all my email s on the server? There's no box to check, flag to set that deletes these copies after I've read them in the browser interface? How do I fix this?
I couldn't connect my domain to my page, I have some random email address that I have no idea how to access and I can't change it.
I've been with you a while, but I'm not making any money. I like you ALL but I've gone with another provider. I don't want you to be mad! I would like to transfer my domain to that provider. How do I go about doing that?
Sincerely,

The cart seeks to force me to auto-renew, by clicking the continue button. I don't want ever want auto-renew. Thus you force me to call in, recording the conversation to process my order with strict instruction not to auto renew.
Its not simple to navigate. Every single thing need to pay. But how come I cannot know till the last step. That is kind of trick. Also Bluehost and Wordpress not really corroborate each others, so that it takes long time to figure out the process.
Moving accounts was incredibly frustrating and time consuming
Lots of trouble resetting password. I kept getting locked out.
Please get rid of the "Message Us" box. There is no way to "x" out of that intrusive window!
Initially when I bought my shared hosting the speed of my websites were good. But now It is taking more time to open
My website, BlackBeltBanker.com, kept getting redirected to a malicious website, even after I updated Wordpress and plugins as Blue Host support personnel advised.
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.
