Really easy to use and great customer service support.
I like the usability & featrues. But the aggressive ways in which you push products to me, including changing my configurations to do, are a concern to me.
Bluehost is the most unreliable webhost and your support is a complete and utter joke. My sites have been down for days and no one from your so called specialist team has replied to me.
Great to use, with good interface since last change
Once I routed to the new login page as opposed to trying to use the old login page located at the Login link at bluehost.com, everything has been great!
Doing great guys except for sending me requests to pay for services are are not due yet. Please stop that.
I don't like that I end up with 3 windows open when I try to navigate to WebMail, and have to log out 3 times to be sure that I haven't left any connections open.
I need my country Ethiopia country code to be there to set up two factor authentication
Terribly dated interfaces and poor caching. Hosting and malware issues that hosting co's should handle.
Since changed loading pages it is a pain to get into my site. How many times do I have to say I don't want whatever it is you are trying to sell for $2.99 a month?
A real pain now. I have been impressed before this
Confusing to login in and get to my website to make changes. You seem to have made an already complicated sequence even more complicated.
The new interface is garbage. And the past month has been very frustrating with my server being down alot, the integration with Google Workspace took a whole month to start working, and now I tried to log into my Bluehost account and the 2 factor isn't working.
There is not a SINGLE recent change on the control panel that redeems itself. The login is buggy, the main panel is terrible, it takes dozens of clicks and loading screens to get where anyone would need to go. Its just TERRIBLE
The conditions of my plan have changed. That doesn't happen in other companies. I have had the plan for more than 10 years.
Seems unnecessary having to be taken to a separate Login page
I know change always has issues. But since latest changes I can no longer use Firefox to login. And also, more clicks to get to my directory. Seems less user friendly. And an advertising page I could do without.
Don't appreciate the upsell messages between bluehost and website edit login. Maybe once every 10 or 20 times is OK but it seems almost everytime.
Still trying to get my domain moved from my old hosting plan to the new hosting plan
Reliability is not satisfactory.
Support is not clear in their communicaiton of site changes.
However, price and terms are acceptable.
The BlueHost WordPress hosting service has not been reliable. All other factors are satisfactory or very satisfactory, but the server-side failures that block our users' access to our two websites is really unacceptable. Please improve this.
We have had a critical problem with the email service for more than a month that you have not been able to resolve. We have started a chat with you at least 3 times and this issue remains unresolved. We really hope they take this situation seriously. On the other hand, the new navigation is very bad and there is no access to tools that there were in the previous one. It is a shame that a company so good for many years is having these changes that, instead of improving, make everything more difficult
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.
