Excellent reliability and superior customer service. Wordpress and Bluehost need to reformulate and simply login.

It's been great, thanks. Don't have enough information yet to give you a solid review. But doing it because this pop up won't leave me alone, lol.

I never receive a call back when I leave my number for technical support., Your wait times are atrocious, your tech support people are not knowledgeable about their topics. The service at Bluehost has degraded to a point where I'm now shopping for another web host.

I continue to call customer support. They don't fix the problem. I call back. The facts were not input correctly into my call from yesterday. They want me to wait indefinitely on hold and not willing to contact me when they are done. I work for a living and can't hold "indefinitely". I asked to speak to a supervisor and he refused to transfer me even after I asked several times.

Bluehost builder has been down for too long, I am not able to edit my site at all. Someone should offer a workaround or something.

Great customer service. Thought it was a Wordpress issue, turns out it was a plug-in issue. Even though it wasn't within their field, customer service did I extra research to help me and was amazingly patient.

Every time I contact customer service they are always polite and get the job done!

I appreciate that the Bluehost admin dashboard is easy to use, and works very well with WordPress. However, my website often takes awhile to download which is frustrating; and on a number of occasions this past year, my site has been offline.

You suck
June 18, 2022

You suck. This site has been down for over a week. I had to ask someone outside of Bluehost what the problem might be. They figured it out. Now I have to try to explain that to your tech support.
