It has been a very good experience. Just wish it was a little easier.
Takes too much time to understand how to accomplish simple things. In all fairness, it's probably my lack of computer skills. For example, to date, I'm not sure how to add my credential at the end of each email. I'm typing it in manually with each email.
Very intuitive and easy to navigate. I am not an IT person so that really helps!
I have 10 days since I waited to install a wordpress software in the former blue and nothing works in vain
Great way for a novice (with reasonable effort) to establish a web presence. I have been completely satisfied with my experience over the past 2 years.
I think the backend and the way the system is managed have improved a lot, some changes were very significant but it is part of improving, thanks
I am conserved to give anything, anyone 5 stars. 4 Stars = very good. The only complain: I wish I can highlight the particular block, highlight it and kept highlighted when switch to code. Also a customized short code menu, it's smart enough to top most recent used short code, but I want a my own priority menu.
I find our websites are very slow compared to your hosting competitors. I'm pretty frustrated about this but I don't have the time at present to switch to a competitor, not to mention I recently updated and the there have been no improvements in responsiveness even thour it specifically mentionjs that the upgrade would result in a faster site.
Finding my payment methods is not easy. I'm trying to verify my credit card is up to date
I have been hacked for the last several months and senders to *******@d4eo.com receive NON DELIVERY MESSAGES. The hacker has demanded $1750 in bitcoin.
Bank of America, Chase Bank and Fidelity all claim that *******@d4eo.com is not a working email address.
I can not receive emails to *******@d4eo.com on my iPhone or iPad as Apple *******@d4eo.com is a hacked domain.
I have brought these problems to Blue Host for months and the problems have not been solved.
Easy & Quick to setup. Very happy with the service acquired
The email said I could cancel by logging in to my account, which I thought I closed two years ago. Now you're telling me you're going to automatically bill me for $360? And where does it tell me I can cancel? This is an example of a terrible website, so why would I want to use your service?
The general lag time and recent sustained outage was beyond frustrating.
I am good with the hosting and everything. What I hate is how you sell my info if I don't get all the add on privacy stuff and I get 5 or 6 phone calls a day. That's a load of crap! All these companies are the same. If you say you don't do that you are full of $#*!!
I have requested help with my websites at least 3 times with no solution. I will transfer when I get the opportunity and will tell everyone I know how bad the service is here.
Stable environment, quick customer service. Top Blue Sky team.
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.
