Good job, you all are a big help! We am still a rookies in this website thing. Thanks for the support!
I have been using your company for my websites for years as well as the site I have designed for others. Very satisfied.
Support time waitn may be long. It used to be much quicker before you became so big. I have been with you for about 20 years!
Its pretty straight forward but frustrating that basic seo is missing or only available at a monthly cost
I have been using cPanel quite a lot and I am very happy with it.
My website is not any "faster" than before your "upgrade."
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.
Very helpful helpline for when i have queries needing to be resolved
Great service, server is never down and menu options are easy to find.
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.
I have had a payment deducted from a card which is not mine without authorisation
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.
Great customer service and hardly any downtime. Keep it up!
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. 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
Too bad for me always feel unsafe and service is too poor.
Good, but wish there were more wordpress tutorials
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.
