I don't know why I was just locked out, the screen said too many attempts to login, but I only tried once.
Great experience however there's some lag in loading the control panel.
Please stop throwing pop ups when I'm trying to work on my account. This is ridiculous
You guys have botched a server migration, killing our website which has been down two days now. I've spent hours on calls with support. Still not fixed.
Why can i not update my billing profile? Keep getting please try again later...
Trying to update Credit Card details for last two days and keep getting an error.
Received email chasing up payment replied to it and I receive a delivery failure that the email had not gone through to bluehost.
I am getting too many messages and experiences "Site is Experiencing a Technical Issue" the site is slow and it appears that Bluehost is not being diligent enough with recognising the potential errors with plugin updates. You have a duty of care that does not seem to be recognised.
Blue host HOSING is horrible. I have 3 websites that are not working since 10 days. Even while working, they are super slow. NOT AT ALL HAPPY. Its a total exploitation
The interface is overwhelming and confusing for beginners
I have been having a lot of issues with site reliability and with Bluehost features (like Staging).
Ok Please type a quick message about your experience so far
Bluehost provides every tool you need to build and maintain a self-created site. Couldn't have done it without Blue Sky Pro, techs were great!
I have had your service since August 2021 and I still do not have my website live because I do not know Wordpess and I have had no luck getting help on getting my website up. I have tried learning what to do but I do not understand all these plugins and need some kind of help. I call for help and no one can help me unless I pay. I already paid a lot for your hosting and I have not got what I paid for so my business can get recognized
Always having problems with email and server
Helpdesk not helpful and doesn't help at all
Hard to contact Helpdesk
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.
