I have been using bluehost for hosting my website since 2019 and it's been good to be for the most part. What I would like is if we can have a separate building service from bluehost itself rather than having to rely on wordpress.

But other than that I like it.

Every time I log into bluehost it thinks it is migrating a website over. I already have a website with bluehost and I would need to delete "onboarding" from the url to get to the dashboard. This is incredibly annoying and this has been happening for over a month and still it is not fixed! Can you please fix this as soon as possible? I have called customer representative before and this is not resolved.

I love Bluehost
May 19, 2022

I love Bluehost. It's the only server I use. It always works fast and I get notifications when my webpage is down. For my package, I'm paying around 10-20$ a month, but it truly is worth the experience.

I have a couple remaining Wordpress issues. Since I have Wordpress as part of my hosting package, I should not be told to call Wordpress for support. In fact, Wordpress does not recognize me as a customer so I am stuck in a catch22 with my contact form STILL NOT WORKING.

I have had great experiences with Bluehost whenever I call in with a problem. 95% of the time the issue is resolved on the first call.

It's impossible to get someone to actually help this company. YOU advertise a 24 / 7 customer service but I'm still waiting for someone on the chat?!?!

Your website is terrible
June 18, 2022

Your website is terrible. Not designed for mobile at all. I tried for about a week to update my billing info on my phone because I was traveling but couldn't because your sidebar menus kept covering up the credit card area of the page and wouldn't go away no matter what I tried. I tried to chat but that didn't work either. I then returned home and tried to do it on my laptop but when I put in my new card info and selected Update, it said I couldn't do that right now. Huh? Really? It's ridiculous that a company that hosts websites can't get its own site right.

We have been with Bluehost since the Summer of 1996. The quality of customer service and technical support has continually declined.

I cancelled my subscription but you have still tried to take the payment. There is no clear way of cancelling online. I called your help number and was disconnected after speaking to the person for about 5 minutyes
