The changes that Bluehost has made in the past year have made me choose another--better host. I am removing all my sites and all my business from Bluehost. It's too bad because I've been with the company since 2005. Shame what happened to this formerly awesome company.

Just issues site speed and SSL not updating in time so that it doesn't affect site integrity. A lot of robot txt so many posts from the beginning we're not searchable. My site was not being crawled, and so, not "seen," and I didn't know. It really set me back.

So far so good
April 10, 2024

So far so good. When I did have an issue, it was corrected. Although I had to keep going to different agents to get the problem resolved, there was one who didn't stop until the problem was fixed.
