Blue Host is always buggy and the customer service is not very effective. On top of that, you reduced my plan without refunds or informing. I am just here to move all of my websites to another provider.
Chat has been amazing for addressing all my issues
Just starting out building my blog and I have tried downloading my theme twice it is bluehost approved but was having issues downloading and activating. I am logging back in to see if it will work now.
The sms code doesn't work the first time. Always need to logout and try again.
My websites were down the other day for a while but generally everything is good
I need to get to my website quickly to edit it frequently and the two step log in is frustrating as I don't want to purchase any Add-ons and just want to Edit Site.
There are a lot of assistance needed to operate a new website for new owners. However, there is very little help for achieving a great site.
Graciously,
Lots of product sales are coming up and it is getting frustrating.
Your authentication procces is failing so many times. It wont let me log on as i put the code from the text massage you send and then it just does nothing.
Alternatvly i put in the access key code and it thinks for over 30 minutes- at which point i just gave up.
Ive been locked out of my account for over 2 weeks/\!
You try to bill my card 30 days before it's due on anual billing. It takes forever to reach someone that actually understands specific problems I'm trying to resolve. Only Phone Support seems to work. And now today, I've come back to see why you sent me an email about updated card on file, which I updated & received an email that it was successful, now it's saying it is not. Frustrated.
Contact points, be more polite and supportable treating customers.
I've had it with Bluehost this used to be such a great company but the support and performance have gone downhill. We will not be renewing next year.
I have always recommended you historically but lately your downtime is not acceptable
Site down too often. No solution to staging issue.
New UI leaves a lot to be desired. Impossible to find out how to edit DNS records for a domain registered elsewhere. Zone Editor only shows MX records. Why?
The prices are increased by double. I was paying 80 dollars a year and now 425 dollars.
New website is hard to navigate and zone editor not working
There is a $#*!ing full screen commercial every time I log in. Am I not paying you for the service? Even free websites aren't this abusive with ads.
Too many steps to get to my website to do any work.
With each "update" the site becomes more and more difficult to use.
1) I have sporadic issues accessing my email, etc. Sometimes I get sent to a cpanel login, but my id/password combinatios don't work.
2) When I try to access my WP admin, I get an error about cookies do not exist. I have updated my cookie settings per the error message but still get the error.
Usually great, but now when I log on I get a chat window that I can't close (and is getting in the way of me writing this) and othe obtrusive popups. Annonyng
The security of your system is decreasing. I used to be able to use an authenticator app and then could only us SMS for 2FA and then had trouble with the SMS working
