Appalling business processes and amateurish software upgrade procedures
This website has not worked for me. I have reached out numerous times and the only response I get is to pay another $165 for help. This is a scam. I wish there were honest people that would help!
I came form namecheap so my expectations were very low I was expecting to be confused and end up with problems like having 3 trials for wordpess creation but this has been so easy and responsive. I've not had to ask customer support for anything so far as all of my questions have had clear documentation or youtube videos or skill share lessons to walk me through I spend so much less time wondering and more time creating here.
My forwarder doesn t work. I tried to get help but it didn't get resolved.
Bluehost software is an non-unified mess, having to go to 2-4 places: CodeGuard, Softculous, Home Websites, CPanel and Bluehost Plugin in WordPress and some or none, never work, properly or they totally screw-up your development. A total hassle.
Overall the service is fine but the logging in is a bit of work, having to sign into Bluehost then getting hit with an ad, then closing this survey before even getting to the link for Wordpress. It is a bit annoying.
I need to learn more about how it works, once I catch on to it It works great!
My price jumped just too high from where I began for a website I only need kept up. When I chatted with someone a few weeks ago they could not help me. It is just too much money for a site I just need to remain and barely holds anything. I am really upset I moved from where I was paying too much at $118 to a great rate I knew would go up but not HIGHER than where I came from.
I say 5 stars...No complaints, really. Everything is easy to find and when I did need to speak to a Bluehost Agent, each person that assisted me was patient and answered all my concerns. Thank you for providing a great service!
Not sure why 'Sukruth' took a long time to identify the problem with my site. I figured out the problem while he purposely delayed our interaction. All it kept doing was stalling with 'im sorry'' and 'don't be tensed' comments. It was a super easy fix that I figured out.
It kept rejecting my user name. I had to change my password again back to my original password.
I've been stuck without my domain that I have paid for, for 4 days now. Initially it would be 1-2 days, then 3-4 days, now 8 days. I've been without my domain now for almost 3 weeks because of Bluehost and zero resolution. If you're on the fence about getting their service just don't do it, go with someone else. This is insane.
I hate that i get logged out so quickly. Like 15 min of no activity and im loogged out. Just a pain.
PJ was very great he was thorough and walked me to make sure I was writing the correct User ID and password to login. He also advised on how I could get further help.
Average, everything i would expect from a basic hosting package
Everything is different and can't login on my laptop
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.
