Could you please stop offering me stuff I do not want to buy when I'm trying to reach my website? If you must offer it, OK, I guess. But please add a "do not show again." It is really obnoxious to see advertisement for your products every single time I log in and makes me want to go somewhere else.

Constant email problems. Why can't i use a VPN when sending email? Ridiculous. My site was down 14 time in November, and that's pretty good compared to most months.

The bluehost interface doesn't load half the time now, making it a ridiculous hassle to log into the website and check the backend / admin

I have been scammed by a bluehost - they have renewed automatically ssl purchase, there is no option to cancel the renew, remove the card, and event though they promised to refund me and cancel auto renew twice, they didn't. What can I do?

Upselling is annoying, plus, I have many (hundreds over the years) spam 'subscribers' which on three separate occasions you have failed to help me with, sometimes even saying that I am lying about them.

Massive differences between old and new hosting login. Should have publicized the changes better. Otherwise, seems to work.

Just locked out of my account because two-factor authentication number didn't work. Same number sent twice; both times invalid. Wasted time trying to get to speak to someone--on hold for a long time.
