It works. I can afford it. Nobody's stolen my writing. Thanks for that. I appreciate you. I can't generate stats on website visits w anyone using any kind of privacy software, but I'm ok with "writing into the void."
It's been pretty good. Affordable. Thanks for that.
I've struggled with access to my CPanel/Email for over a year. I purchased a new account hoping to avoid the IP-blocked issues that Bluehost claims. Purchased on 11/27/23 and had to cancel due to BH Rep mistakes. Nce refund received purchased another 3-year plan on 12/2/23. STILL DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO MY WORDPRESS SITE My business (website) has been closed since 11/27.
I did not request privacy protection and certainly did not place it on autorenewal. How did this happen and which credit card was used?
I find it harder to find things in this new format.
Website speed is slow.
Customer support takes long time to connect
I bought the e-commerce bundle on Nov 22nd all the functionality didn't work until 12/8. Then when finally got it installed, the sales & discount portion not working properly
Change is good however if it effects in a negative way it's bad. It took me a long time to master the old platform, I'm not sure what else to say. I will be transferring all my domains to a new hosting platform.
I've been with you for years and as of today I think I'm done. Your purchasing process is exhaughsting and full of up sells and traps. I just want to get my domain name and go. Also I hate the email layouts. Google is much simpler and easier to use.
Failed to login using Firefox, no problem with Vivaldi.
Very rude on phone, complicated to understand in general
Should have the option to keep the old method.
Changing things makes it harder on the creators who have to keep up with them.
It's been a nightmare transferring my domain. Sill working on it after a week.
Service became so bad, I had problem with assigning new domain. And your support team didn't solve the issue. Moreover your teams told me you have too many domains and data. And my subsection is unlimited domains. So they gave unlogic reasons rather than solve the issue. And is seems your team are not aware enough about your new updates
Great customer service and help along the way. Much appreciated.
Tengo problemas al actualizarse la pagina ya que no actualiza en los moviles pero si en escritorio
1. So slow
2. No Users Control Panel
3. Everyday our clients send complaints about (Your website is down)
4. No more features for the old clients like discounting or anything else
5. We need you to upgrade your services not downgrade
6. Speed is needed
The control panel is getting worse every day, its design is uglier and less functional. To make matters worse, the online service doesn't even work, I can mention, for example, a backup I requested with a deadline of 48, and it's been more than a week since I received a response. Some time ago, I spent 4 days without the emails working. Blue Host is disappointing overall and in every area it can.
I have problems with emails constantly. And I've had problems with all my domains being infected with malicious files and in other cases the attendants are not prepared to solve the problem
Somethings don't get resolved quickly enough for my customers' websites and emails.
More that a week that I'm trying to pay (using a discount code) for renew of my hosting, but no way! And the only answer which I've got from tech support of bluehost is: check your bank. My bank is, even more - doesn't work paypal payment as well! When years and years I was using same PayPal address for my payment
Excellent quality products and the customer service is exceptional.
Bluehost is a pleasure to deal with. The product is great and the service is exceptional.
Extremely pleased with the service. Your representatives are the best
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.
