Without even trying to login it said my account was temporarily disabled due to excessive logins.
Problems with my emails, and they don't get solved
It doesn't work properly, it takes a long time to load, I pay for this and it has limited functions, every time I log in it has a new error
Confusing to understand and navigate without a guide.
Overall, pretty good, have some navigation issues from time to time, but I can usually manage them.
No issues or support problems encountered. Great service.
I really have not invested enough time to get my website going.
My site loses security from time to time and visitors are deterred because of the warning the web browser gives.
Support has been responsive and helpful. The downtime and outages lately have been abysmal and the lack of communication from Bluehost about those problems has me considering other providers. I'm not getting what I'm paying for.
Seems like i need to have support work on something everytime i come in to do something... nothing about this is intuitive
Thankful for each support. Knowing nothing about these tech stuff, I'm grateful I can rely on support to fix any problems with my site. Thanks
You keep telling me my server is having issues... for over a week. And I keep getting errors when I try to create a page on my new wordpress... that I have no internet connection.
My other 2 sites work... otherwise I'd give you 1 star
Great services. Tech person knew what he was doing and it didn't take long to get me bach up and running.
No email or website for 6 days... no truth when I call. No answers.
Really good support, just log in issues. Being booted out saying that I have tried over 5 times to sign in and will have to wait... I haven't and I'm the only one using this account. A bit frustrating when trying to get things done.
Easy to use and the price is right. I have 3 total sights, one they designed for me and two I did myself.
Customer service team has responded quickly and resolved issues in a timely fashion. Finally after the PHP upgrade the speed on our website has increased which took too long to update after my many complaints on speed.
We have had a bad experience for 3 months, we did not have email output for several days, emails could not be sent to external domains. It was solved little by little, now we have emails that do not reach the inboxes but are queued in quarantine of the antispam server
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.
