In the beggining it was great, then it started becoming worse and worse, I'd give it a one if I didn't have positive expirience in the beggining. I am considering switching to another provider, this is just not going to work in the long run.

Massive login issues on common browsers. Not an inspiring showing from a web hosting company

Bluehost has become very poor in helping customers, we stay on hold for 50 minutes to then find out that the customer support representative is incompetent and cannot help with a simple task, such as making a domain name point to a folder. And many of them are rude and make me responsible for the issues. I have been using Bluehost for many years, and referring it to my web design clients, but today I am having second thoughts. And the new interface is flawed and by default everybody installs wordpress without asking me, I only do HTML websites, NOT Wordpress. I hope you fix that soon.

A decent user experience ruined by terrible monitization choices... Stop nickle-and-diming and reducing the service I paid for originally...

I cannot login to the cPanel for a few weeks already unless I am in incognito mode, deleted cookies and cache tried a few browsers and that's the only way to do it, and it was suggested from your support team, while I am waiting for a resolution.

The constant poking to add URL privacy at an exorbitant cost and having to log in so often combined with 2FA only being through mobile is frustrating.

Your system is poorly documented, so that even your service staff get it wrong most of the time. Ive spent well over 10 contiguous hours in chat just trying to get your email resolved.

Waste of time having to read a lot to understand charges and avoid extra charges on things beyond what its needed to renew the website domain.

I've had nothing but issues since your upgrade. It's cost me a lot of time and money to fix it all and one of my sites is still down and I don't believe it's a theme issue at all! :(

The new layout has come out too slow to keep up with our needs. If I knew it was going to take over a week to get things working again, I would have switched hosting services.

Signing into bluehost is a pain now
December 18, 2023

Signing into bluehost is a pain now. I can only get in when clicking on a change password link in an email from you. But it doesn't make me change my password and i can then sign in.
Why can't I just sign in anymore?
