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 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.

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

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.
