Don't like being harassed for a rating. So there, take your rating, happy now?
Not super intuitive for me, but that's on me to learn.
Really, really great support system and response. But my hosting is kind of slow.
Hosting has been great, prices are good and support has been excellent.
Good web hosting, easy to manage. That's my only web hosting for now.
Seamless, with a good user experience. Happy I can connect a podcast.
I received a mail from you saying I need to check billing, I am in control panel cannot see where billingis!
Highly disappointed that comment sections added to pages do not have active "reply" or "edit" buttons. This prevents dialog on individual comments, and prevents anyone from editing errors after their comment is posted. If anyone clicks reply button to respond to a comment it does not show under the comment they are replying to, but instead at the end of the comment stream as a whole new comment of its own. Wish for a plug-in or something else to fix this "reply" and "edit" button malfunction. Thank you.
Your Opinion Counts screen pop up is very annoying!
How do I opt out of seeing it every time I log in?
Slow admin load. Need to go through the homepage login to have phpMysql to load. Can load directly from cpanel link.
I logged in to change my billing preferences and I get an error message saying I can't change it now and to try again later
I can't figure out how to renew... so frustrating.
Besides the rare downtimes using shared hosting servers there were no big issues.
Service really makes sure your data is safe and retreivable.
Good support, available and helpfull.
The easy website builder wasn't working, but gave me no indication on that fact or what else to do. Guidance on going through bluehost's website builder itself was non-existent.
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.
