The representative spent a great deal of time helping resolve our problem. She was professional and knowledgeable
Still have to finalize the transfer. So far I have gotten timely updates and directions.
The customer service person I spoke with was extremely helpful. It was a really good experience!
Had an issue with a menu bar not showing up. I must had inadvertently changed a setting in the website builder. Called and the person was helpful though I lost my connection in chat. My bad. I figured it out on my own though and will chalk it up to a learning experience. Thanks for being there anyway.
I was notified that my site was coming up for renewal about 90 days out which allowed me time to decide if I was going to continue or shift focus.
I had recently made some changes to my DNS records and found my site was performing much slower. I had a tech look over my DNS entries for errors.
Unsecure http part of Blue Host platform created negative audit reviews. Multiple lengthy chats resulted in some resolution but not all.

I have all my sites. Working fine. Interface good, speed good, no problems so far.
I am so glad that I am a Bluehost customer. No matter what question I have, the customer service team is always willing to assist me. I am looking forward to being a long-term customer. Thank you Bluehost!
There are a lot of stuff you have to figure out on your own, as the starting off is too overwhelming. The UI is a bit too convoluted, and some pretty basic stuff like learning to clear your cache should be explained. Perhaps a short beginning tutorial could remedy these issues. Once you get the hang of it, creating your site becomes fun and easy. Overall, a great platform, but needs better explanation for new users.
From performance to customer service, it is all good.
No issues! Thank you very much! No problem! I plan to continue...
Most of my difficulty has to do with my lack of experience. But there are so many options in website builder that it compounds my issues. I'm slugging through it.
If you have minimal knowledge of making websites you find Bluehost is the one to choose. Also if you want to do advanced things there are no obstacles in your way.
Listing my properties is easy and convenient. Still figuring out stuff but overall its all good.
I had a great experience, just did have time to put into what it would take to be successful at digital marketing.
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.
