I have had an issue for days that they won't fix. I can't search or install new plugins I get an error "An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server's configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums."
I wasn't made aware of some of the services available to me with Bluehost as there was no introduction guide
I'm having issues, and your support website is broken.
Great. My website gallery pics were not working and the BH tech determined the recent upgrade was causing the problem. He quickly backed off to the previous release and fixed my issue. I loved that I was able to get in touch with someone live very quickly who was capable to quickly identify the problem and get it resolved. Very happy with BH! Thanks. David
Sometimes the hosting crashes and we cannot access emails or the website
Frequently failed to login in. Does not stay logged in very soon.
I cannot access my site on a daily basis. I'm always told it is because of DDOS attacks and I am getting tired of not being able to access the admin settings.
My experience has been excellent and I think the site is very user friendly
What worries me is that I am new to this hosting thing and your website BlueHost. Com, a hosting platform, is the only site I have seen in many many years that sits there loading for about 5 seconds after login. Regardless of the browser or mechine used. And I dont mean sometimes, I mean every single time. I appears to be something built into by design oversight or intention.
Every time I see this I wonder why and if my visitors will experience the same thing and if I need to change hosting companies.
Bluehost makes it rather simple to navigate once you get the hang of things. Their experts are attentive in helping you resolve your issue or will direct you to someone who can help.
Bluehost is a great hosting, I had an issue with my site at one point and the friends over at Bluesky were helpful!
The interface is quite difficult to understand at first, but over time it becomes quite effective to understand
Concerned about reduction of features and focus on wordpress
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.
