Unfortunately, after activated SMS verification for secondary security option, SMS activation page is disappering. It is hard to login.
Horrible reliability. Login page not working. Absolutely horrible customer experience.
All good thanks, but don't let it go to your heads...;)
I never give 5* anywhere ;)
In my experience, your support team is excellent.
Thank you
Ads are forced upon me to log into my site every single time no easy access to Cpanel without multiple clicks and screens
I absolutely cannot stand how things are arranged now.
New interface is a bloody mess. Who came up with this $#*!
It took me three very long chats and one phone call to finally get back into my account.
My site was losing rankings due to slow loading of the pages. You recently added (or made easy to find) a control to reboot the server, and that has made a big difference. It should have been in place a long time ago.
Thank you for adding that.
You are a global company catering to the world.should be available on call 24 7. The online help responds in an untimely manner
Not good at alll.
Blue host and their systems are unreliable, difficult, slow. Now extremely expensive. Nothing to like.
The responsiveness of the back office web pages could be faster.
Some times the back off is not available.
Otherwise. OK
New layout is pretty bad not tutorial with the changes not happy
Great experience, efficient usage.
The recurrent question about domain privacy should be removed after the 1st time.
It is clunky and things quit working. For instance I need to refund shipping costs which I have done at times before. Now you get the eternal spinning wheel and the refund never goes through.
Login popup ads are annoying, I login and out frequently and really want to just go to the home screen
I've used Bluehost for a very long time. I feel like the company I originally decided to use so long ago has since been sold a few times. The current admin tools focus so much on WordPress, that I have trouble finding all of the tools I used to be able to access right from my dashboard.
My site is down more than it is 100% functional. My clients are complaining, and there is nothing that I can do about it.
The new portal setup is ridiculous some settings are hidden in places, (like DNS settings), some are in cPanel, chaos all around.
There has still not been a clear resolution to my emails being blacklisted by Google and some other places. Otherwise there would have been more stars.
I like the changes you've made to the website. They're clearer to navigate.
When you report a problem and it's escalated the solution never comes
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.
