After signing up, installation stalled during "onboarding." It's been half a day, with two calls to customer support. The agent was able to get me past the page by manually deleting part of the URL (indicating the page with the stalling), but I find that when I log out and back in, I still have to manually delete the end of the URL just to reach the control panel for your website builder.

I have been trying to get an issue with my website (smartloanlady.com) fixed for a couple of months. I have become so frustrated that I quit trying. You use to have great customer service, now the people I talk to do not know what they are doing. I want to be able to talk with a senior tech person that can give me some directions instead of talking with someone from a different country who just keeps repeating what I tell them but never gives me a solution. I have been with Bluehost for years and believe your service has gone way down.

I contacted support 2 weeks ago because when I send out messages from my domain, google says that it´s spam. They promised me that it would be solved soon, but it´s been two weeks and the problem is still there.

Well, it has been good. Aside from the malware issues and a few server downtimes. In all, it is a good experience

Uptime is excellent

Uptime is excellent. I am sick of trying to maintain WP sites, however; they are down all the time. Will be switching away from PHP and WP to MERN.

Terrible email servers
June 18, 2022

Terrible email servers. Everyday is a struggle trying to login to email. We are looking to change service soon. Ridiculous way to do business for us where we spend 30 minutes everyday trying to access our emails!

I don't like that I had to pay extra for backup. This was not well identified, if it even was, when I signed up for hosting.

I always have had 5-star customer support with Bluehost, they always helped me to resolve what I need on the spot, and when they can't they do everything they can to solve it.

The "customer service team" is absolutely dreadful. They purposely don't end the calls so that you can't complete the survey to report how bad they are. They waste time and don't know how to do anything. SCAMM
