I don't find the website and services easy to access/user friendly. Everything lately has been slow and glitchy on Bluest.com and some days I haven't even been able to log on. I have had zero trouble however browsing the internet or using the websites. Just Bluehost.

You do not let me change my email. Expiration notices went to an outdated email and the domain expired. Your site is not clear or helpful.

The customer service is crap
June 18, 2022

The customer service is crap. I understand that it is outsourced but its truly ridiculous that it takes 2 interactions sometimes to remedy a situation or are told that its not their problem
