Enough with the advertising when I'm trying to log in. It's annoying and I will never use the service if it's there blocking my login. Period. Never. Even if I disparately need it. Hard no!
You are holding my data hostage; requiring that i pay for 3 months hosting just to download my site.
Hard to follow up, too many changes on the interface
When you set up a Wordpress console, many plugins come preloaded that are of no use to me. When I log in, I get your advertising on the first page. And it continually kicks me out of the session and asks me to log in again and put the text message. It's too much.
El servicio de correo de c panel no sirve no me llegan mensajes
This experience with Blue Host has been nothing short of a NIGHTMARE! My website was deleted due to non-payment (which I was unaware of). NO COMMUNICATION whatsoever before it was canceled then deleted.
You keep changing the login location on the homescreen, and the login process. That makes it difficult to access our account.
I feel as if there is an overly complicated logging in process - i have to click on so many different buttons to just get to edit my website - why not just one? Also have to scan through to find the click here kind of text which is buried under a whole page of info and is just (small) bold text rather than an actual 'button' would also appreciate being able to easily access my email directly from my wp dashboard
Login screen needs to be streamlined and quit the advertising -
The maestro interface does not work
The bluehost panel to create a staging site does not indicate that the staging site cannot be removed without wiping out the whole site - that is pure garbage and a disaster for anyone who makes the mistake of using it
Login screen needs to be streamlined and quit the advertising -
I have been trying for the last 2 days to get a store started. I have spoken to your support and have yet to receive any help. I would like a full refund for the store that I bought.
A good host and very good chat service. Helps me all the time.
Poor, insufficient communication about renewal. Hard to find how to amend autorenewal. Unable to obtain clear info about options.
Nothing works properly, I am constantly bombarded by ads, and the customer service sucks, and I am never able to log onto my WordPress account
The actions towards my account has shown me Bluehost is not reliable and i cannot trust the service. Money was taken off my account after cancelling my subscription. Before it is due. Spoke to customer service. I was told all money will be refunded and they did not keep to their words. Not all was refunded. For this reason I cannot truth the site with my detail. If they could just take money of my account for not good reason and their words is mere say.
Email has delay, ad shows up as soon as you login. Not super impressed but it works.
Please offer discounts to keep existing customers. Not just to get new ones.
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.
