Navigation is excellent and GUI is easy... I'm nearly 72 years old too!
Customer Service is unable to provide a solution as to why I am not getting an email delivered to my webmaster company email. This email is needed so i can verify my identity before using the SSL feature
I haven't had much time to check it out, but I do wish there was more room for email storage.
I have always liked you but lately your recent upgrade has been a HUGE backstep as far and wordpress use is concerned. First time I have considered moving to another server in a VERY LONG time.
I use the Bluehost website builder Pro because I am a small business and I have a lot of issues with it. The issues cause me to spend a lot of time on with support, that seems to argue with me a lot about what I do and don't have included with my plan, which feels like it's changing constantly to suit Bluehost and not me.
Server keeps going down. My other personal account does not seem to have this issue
Continued problems with emails. They say they get addressed but the problems arise again.
I have reached out to Bluehost about my website going offline several times a day for months now and Bluehost has not been able to help me resolve this. To the point, they told me I had to upgrade my plan for the issues to stop. Looking into changing those soon for this reason.
I was forced to purchase malware security that I did not want or my account would be held hostage by locking my account and shutting down 3 websites. This is not right.
It was my first time to built a site' and my teacher was not so good, so in the begin I was needed a lot of asking and answer to my questions and most of the time I have got it from you and I want to thank you for that.
The best hosting provider! If you are working on wordpress chose it
Its very very very very very very very very very good
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.
