My experiences have been good, every time I have reached out for help you have been there for me.
Every time I use chat it is a good experience. I wish I didn't have so much trouble with space.
Your service is horrendous, absolutely terrible, there are no words to describe it, I cannot think of any other service I have found that is worse, even by the low standards of godaddy, they are better.
I don't want to see any suggestions or up sales right before I login to blue host. Please don't show those right before I'm about to login. It is annoying.
Lately it is extremely difficult to log into my dashboard. Not sure what they changed but it is very frustrating.
Wordpress is very difficult to design site with; very unintuitive; had to struggle to get the header and footer off my pages, had no idea why the were there and it's just difficult. If I would have know I would not have signed up with BLue host
I RECEIVED MY 6 DIGITS confirmation code and entered it and it did not take, I had to use my recovery key.
I am in. But why do you hide Webbly? So frustrating. I always have tp hunt for it to start building my site.
Horrible. I could not access and made repeated efforts through help which was useless. What was an easy access now is a nightmare. Congratulations on screwing up what was a user friendly system
Experience with Bluehost has been fairly good so far.
Mostly good, had some terrible customer service though recently. Thinking about changing providers solely because of how bad it was.
Im moving to different host provider-Awful experience i had recently
Why would the company decide to make this change knowing of all of the issues that existed?
I'm a big fan! This is my first web site creation experience and BlueHost is awesome!
I greatly appreciate the support of Bluehost reps. My questions are always answered to my satisfaction. They helped me build my web when I didn't know how. Awesome tech support!
The new layout is disorganized, making it difficult for me to locate my domains during the WordPress installation from Softaculus. The Bluehost WordPress installation process is time-consuming, and I encounter issues installing SSL on domains as I did before. Assigning domains has become challenging due to the disorganization and lack of user-friendliness. Unfortunately, I find myself having to contact support repeatedly for SSL or WordPress installation assistance.
The new interface just create more steps before getting to my account management. Also, you add more JS and tracking sites that prevent the interface work while there are anti-spam extension
Please stop redirecting to the old login page after logout because that page does not allow me to log in.
I don't like how my User Name and Password can just disappear like they did this weekend, and it took me several hours to figure out how to get back into my account.
Fine up till today. Had a ton of login issues. Never had them in the past.
Every few weeks I have to perform a bunch of tasks assigned by you to get into my account.
There are still some problems signing into my email account
I can see why the UI was changed, to Focus and Guide your Service Routings. No small effort to manage through that.
But you stripped much of our ability to administer our environment. There are so many "error messages" upon submitting Domain and DNS entries, that we must CALL IN every time. Even your own Level 1 support team is blocked by these errors. I have no less than 4+ hours of chats and calls, for what would have normally been about 5 to 10 minutes worth of changes. It's been a very poor experience so far. But as someone who consults and coaches very large software orgs, I have empathy for your Strategic pivot and I wish you a quick recovery.
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.
