I have chatted twice to fix an issue. Its not fixed.
It was hard getting all of my site transferred and migrated properly. The general help line wasnt much help. When finally reaching the right person it was smooth, but that took some effort. All is well now.
I have had nothing but problems trying to renew my account. Glitch after glitch. Now you ask for a review?
Easy to use site builder. Much better then any others I have worked with
I created a WORDPRESS free site. Such *******@keykokomo does not use wordpress. It is blistering fast, I am very happy with the results.
Worst experience I ever had. My website doesn't show and when I chat with someone the authentication email doesn't come through.
Great people to give great experience.
They made the experience pleasurable and easy to work with
Clunky UI. Horrible instructions. $#*! user experience.
I do not like the continued ad interruption as I log in. You make it so easy to click continue and start paying for another service that I have indicated already many times I do now want.
It takes weeks to get an issue fixed unless it is a very simple one. I have had 4 go rounds with advanced Tech Support, and I'm not sure the issue is fixed yet.
Bluehost presented as a Wordpress supporting platform, but offers NO technical support now. I was able to pay $150 a month for support when I was creating my site. Now that is not available either.
I didn't ask for being charged for professional email. Seems like a scam. Will cancel my account.
Bluehost changed their default name servers and their support team acts like they don't know anything about it.
Hosting was simple but linking my email was a nightmare. Incorrect information from your agents ruined the experience
When the issue couldn't be resolved, it was escalated, and within 24 hours, all was corrected.
Constantly needing to contact support for issues with my sites. Support is nice but they ignore some questions and mess other stuff up, like putting a slash after "home/" making my page not work.
Customer service has been wonderful! I am satisfied with the service I received.
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.
