I need to install a ruby application. The Bluehost instruction is cryptic and impossible to follow because the abbreviations like WHM do not match anything on the panel
I've found Bluehost easy to use. I don't have any background in creating a website but using the Bluehost as a platform doesn't make things complicated for me.
There is no support and the platform is buggy and not user friendly
My experience has been fine. Was a little bit confusing a couple a years ago with the new interface, but now is fine.
Difficulties with the theme. Something is interfering with the set up
Great Service! Especially your Sister Company - Blue Sky Pro -- All the agents are knowledgable, courteous and most go above and beyond to provide the best customer service experience.
I logged in and was asked to rate my experience, basically before I did a single thing I was interrupted with a pointless survey.
Web developer, very happy with site uptime. GoDaddy eats garbage.
Very unhappy since i used your migrate like 10 days ago and my sites still not working and i called in many times and no one really helped sofar, most likely change the hosting once everything start working, if ever does.
Have a blessing day
The site editor is okay, but for the most part my Bluehost account has too many options that are too confusing to figure out, and then when I do get them figured out, they don't end up being what I need. Then I'm often stuck with no option or paying for *another* program or extension that does what I need.
Very friendly, prompt response, knowledgeable, great customer service!
Horrible customer service. She told me to wait and never came back and then hung up.
This last week our multiple websites were down. Sometimes the panel is slow
They find a way to get it done for their hosters. Have never told me I had to pay for assistance when there are common errors in back end server thanks to helpful tech support and all customer support
No option to include a shortcut to Weebly to edit my website without having to click over 6 links each time. Email system has no mobile support/formatting, making it only useful to use when on an actual computer. My website is for my business and most of the times I am away from a computer so my responses end up being very delayed. No effective way to receive mobile notifications in email for new emails either.
So far, so good. Still feel like I am fumbling in the dark all the time.
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.
