I cannot get a simple issue fixed, after chatting with a technician six times I am still experiencing the same problems.
Where did the cPanel go? I have to search for it. Why did you do this? Not the cPanel email but the cPanel. CPanel is what I need most of the time and you buried it.
Also the verification code you sent me to log in did not work. I even had you send it and it still didn't work.
I like some of the new features for logging in and better organization for managing our websites.
So far the email support is abominable, our email is being marked as spam or being blocked by most people due to bad DMARC information and i've contacted support MULTIPLE times, been told its fixed multiple times and its still not.
Very poor support lately. I had spent 2 days amounting to 2 hours of waiting, support staff closing chat early without letting me explain more, repeated login issues, a nightmare. I kept getting bland apologies but no one is going to compensate for my lost time and stress. Very disappointed with Bluehost overall and actively looking for alternative hosting services
Overseas supports are predominately difficult to understand, rude, unhelpful, resistant to assist, I have been hung up on several times. I am considering moving all my currently hosted sites on Bluehost. I also have several websites coming up for development next year.
New customer service system and queueing brings a bad customer experience. Numerous hosting issues with DNS. Response time of issues is as bad as more than 3 weeks. I deeply regret seeing service deteriorate so much in this past year.
I don't like the new cPanel set up. It's very confusing and seems somewhat limited compared to what it was. There are things I could do previously that I can't do now.
You don't have a good support, the security is poor, and the main reason for customer service is to make more money
Useless support team that ends chats when they don't know how to solve issues, slow and laggy loading times with images on the site overlapping, generally horrific customer service and ads shoved down your face 24/7 to spend more from logging in despite their basic service not even working properly lol
I am a customer of BH since it was established in 2003... never I went through troublesome time such as nowadays. For the last 3 months, I encountered many financial, technical and design issues due to hacking event. Some issues continue without real support.
Unannounced changes are unwelcome. Got a sitelock expiration message with some scary language so I came to attempt to renew and to clarify what exactly I would be buying. Any attempt to renew is met with a "cannot process not - try again later" message. Your latest changes are very confusing.
Site would not accept authentication code or recovery key until started over and then once in I was faced with an ad and the part to decline was below the bottom of my iPad screen.
My website speed sucks, even when I moved from shared hosting to dedicated hosting
Inconsistent support provided by bluehost team. Still no resolution to the inquiries I've submitted.
Very bad not able to upgraded the php and mysql version. This has been for 1 month and the support is not responding
I am being auto-billed for a product, but cannot find any information about options on my account page for options to reduce costs — such as a shorter renewal period.
Two factor authentication did not work correctly. I preferred the old control panel system.
Beautiful. I have no issues at all which is amazing.
You are the most professional hosting sites I ever found.
