My website is not any "faster" than before your "upgrade."

Date of experience: May 20, 2022

Hardware seems to fail and you have to fight with support to get them to address a server issue. Just admit it and give the customer an ETA on the fix. Also this is the wrong time to try an upsell some other services.

In fact, I have been dealing with Bluehost for 3 years now. Everything is fine, and if I encounter some difficulties, I contact customer service and get a solution immediately. They are always great and I keep going with them.

You are unable to take payment each month, even though auto renew is set. It's happened for 2 years now, no one will address the problem, a manual payment has to be made, and it's getting increasingly frustrating.

Always works when I need it. Pretty fast. Only occasional hiccups, I think do to the theme I use.

Took a while to understand how to set up my blog [as a total newcomer to blogging] but by tial and error I have managed to get there, I have been held back basically by one thing and that is the fact that you are requested to submit info on your blog on both Bluehost and Wordpress. Not sure whether they are to be the same or different content. Going to go with different.

I can't customize my website. I've been trying for a while now. I feel like I've wasted my money as I made this purchase in January and have been unable to work on my blog.

Not happy with support
June 19, 2022

Not happy with support. I was told that bluehost was a good choice for beginners, well... I disagree! Unless I pay extra they really don't want to help, I will not be recommending them ONLY because of this
