My site is slow. I've paid for jetpak and other excellorators, but they make minimal difference. I've read that Bluehost has older servers, seeing their site is not that fast, that might explain things.
Over the last few weeks I have talked to a number of people about my Bluehost site. Probably around 8 people, most of which were over an hour long conversation. I got all different directions from them all and still had to look around the internet and figure out my problems myself. I am really hating Bluehost right now, but I can't switch hosting platforms right now, as I've already wasted so much time.
The experience is ok. Sometimes I encounter website opening and ftp login failures. I hope these problems can be avoided in the future.
Service is a bit slow, has errors when logging in at times.
Assigning domains is so $#*!ed up. I can't assign anything its so confusing with subdomains
I am using this host service around 4 years, it is a one of the best, simple fast and reliable, with the great customer support. I messed up one complicated sight,, I tried all I could to fix, used all suggestions I could find, couldn't do it, I contacted their support, in about 10 minutes my sight was up and running. Great and fast support. Recommend!
Took a while to figure things out but I got the hang of it eventually with no training or coding background. My website looks great.
The site is okay. A bit confusing but once I get the hang of it everything will be okay.

I am yet to be disappointed by the functionality of the service. Everything is orderly and easy to use once I learned the layout. I often recommend bluehost to everyone who wants to build a website
Somehow my primary email for my domain is unavailable after purchasing from Bluehost and associate was unable to help find out why or resolve the issue for me. Not sure what to do about my business' email address but make a entirely new one loosing important information
I have to say that lately there's been a lot of issues with my site being down to the server. So that's my reasoning for the rating. Other than that I have been pretty satisfied with Bluehost.
You stopped giving discounts on 365 email. Your customer service for the website is sub par. Try harder
I am not sure how much blue host is responsible for but, no complaints so far.
So far so good... 5 stars with the builder and customer service
Our site has been down over a week, Server migration failed, nothing but the run around and empty promises. Locked out of file manager for 5 days on vps server and no access via shared server. No one seems to be able tofix the issue.
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.
