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."

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?

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.

Should have the option to keep the old method.

Changing things makes it harder on the creators who have to keep up with them.

Updated review

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

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

December 16, 2023
Updated review

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.

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
