My site is slow
June 19, 2022

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.

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.

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

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
