Very good, I think it was on the chat, very responsive and quick
I left to go somewhere with ease and use. You guys have been a nightmare. I regret coming here.
Maybe not so much pressure on buying extra features that were already in the plan.
For some reason I am not getting copies of order emails from my zencart,shop for some reason they just stopped, I am now trying to configure my settings in my email/cpanel
I do not like this new login system., and I certainly do not like trying to be sold unnecessary stuff when I try to login to my hosting panel. Going to be seriously considering moving my hosting.
Slow to respond, website issues logging in, couldn't cancel auto renewal via chat even after speaking with an agent for half an horrible. HORRIBLE!
I lost all my data and you just said:
Your WordPress hosting plan does not have any more available sites.
Your site is easy to navigate and build pages. Thank you.
I experienced a system breach today. All my DNS entries were deleted, leading to the failure of our corporate website, email, and applications that rely on Bluehost DNS. The Level 1 support team was unable to assist, and the issue had to be escalated. It could take 24-48 hours to restore the services. In the meantime, we have 20 employees who are unable to function, which is a serious matter. Bluehost should have a team that can quickly address such issues to prevent business interruptions.
Bluehost deleted my site and this has had a huge impact on my business. I still do not have my site restored and my business can't effectively move forward without my website. I am losing revenue daily.
I am happy but do not like the new layourt, and several extra clicks to get to my emails
I have been receiving almost on weekly bases spam emails in my email purporting to contacting my school using the "contact us" feature on the school's website
I'm being customer of Bluehost services from around 20 years.
After dropping WordPress and finally setting all domains under my account to a working state, suddenly I'm receiving complains from many users of domains about the loss of web presence.
After reviewing I found all my work has been lost by changes in DNS that someone else have done without my approval.
I have lost access to SSH console and mail services.
¿Do you have a security breach again?
Sometimes things work, sometimes they don't. My webmail still has an expired ssl certificate which is very annoying.
I haven't managed to connect my database to CodeGuard and keep getting messages that they are deleting files.
The editing is difficult. Customer service is not helpful.
Trying to charge me 200$ for nothing is a sick try
On Thursday, March 28, I asked you to delete the websites soulcourse.com and talkwithelaine.com. Instead, you deleted my ACTIVE website and my email inbox for elainebayless.com. It is now almost 9:00 PM EDT on April 31st and you have yet to rectify your error. It's worth noting that despite this being your error, I have received no apology.
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.
