Bluehost is cool
May 20, 2022

Bluehost is cool. I love how their customer support is active, always knowledgable, and cooperative. They solved many problems for me and they're the reason I'm doing good in business.

I really like the new site builder but it is kind of clunky going back and forth when I need to use the old classic wordpress editor so that I can link pages.

Bluehost web hosting has always been very quick to navigate I am a web designer I have been with Bluehost since 2016 they have always been helpful and any problem side have had have been sawed quickly by their technical support I have also suggested this hosting too many of my clients and they have opened up accounts

After getting them to leave places like GoDaddy and other places that were not as well equipped for a good website

Thank you very much

I am still waiting for someone from Administration to call about the terrible service I have been receiving from this company. I have filed a BBB complaint and still have not received a call from bluehost.
