Customer service was great, once I figured out how to get in touch with them. They gave me clear, easy to foll9w instructions and, hooray, they worked!
My domain was cancelled without contacted me by phone. My card had expired and I needed to add a new card. I was traveling at the time and not checking my email. This caused my business email to be deleted. I was able to reinstate my email with history - thank goodness!
I have had a good experience overall. My only complaint would be that I received emails informing me that the server was down. For a period it happened very regularly, fortunately it seems that it has not happened again.
I'm known as "The AntiChrist of Computers," and yes I was able to successfully set up and run a website for my company. So... Yeah.
My experience has been confusing. I have received conflicting information to resolve my issue which has me constantly calling Blue Host. I have no idea why there is not a simpler way to resolve junk/spam mail.
Super easy to use in setting up a website. Any questions I had, customer service was able to provide help quickly. Very satisfied with service, and continue to receive compliments on look of our website!
I had messed up some issues with the MX area and you guys were able to resolve it so quickly it was fantastic!

It took 2 tries, but I got the folder restored within 24 hours of the 2nd request.
I am satisfied so far. Have not encounter any bug. Documentation is available
Problem: Extension software caused the problem
Removed most of the most of support software to resolve
Good good good good good good Good good good good good good good good good good
Although we did not fix the problem over the phone, the tech was patient and kind. I eventually fixed it on my own because I knew all the things that didn't work, thanks to the phone call.

I was receiving an error message when attempting to update a webpage. Bluehost support quickly resolved my issue while I waited. There is no shortage of support resources available but I don't always have the time to work through them, this is where Bluehost support has been especially helpful. Thank you Bluehost!
I think when it comes to addons, especially where money is concerned, I don't see why i had to go through that many steps to get a subscription removed. Please provide that option, just like the other features

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.
