Ridiculous lack of customer service and support would be put to better work burning piles on the sidewalks.
For some reason... my FTP does not want to work. I've waited 2 hours so far and still Dreamweaver won't connect to my FTP!
I Am LIVID that for the past 2 years we routinely have redirects spontaneously disappear. Nobody at Bluehost support has been able to help.
Tech support rep wouldn't listen to my problem. I explained 5 times that I was having an SSL issue but they kept recharacterizing it as if I wanted to change the main domain on my account and talked overtop of me when I tried to correct their misunderstanding of the situation.
I'm having a great deal of trouble with a migration- getting last steps completed by you Migration team! (moving ebusconulting.com out of this account to a new BH account) Please help! •••••••• I am going to take my business away from BH because your Filipino CS reps aren't good enough. I'm sorry, they are nice, but not getting the job done. Your migration "team" seems to be an outsourced thing? Because they are not doing their job responsively.
Staff is always quick to offer support. Platform is easy to use.
The Word Press app is not working and has not been in some time now. Cannot make any changes to the various pages on my site.
Excellent experience so far. I just loved everything.
Misleading in pricing... expecting monthly payments not one bulk payment. Not user friendly at all for a new person. Customer Service is rude and condescending. Took a week to fix errors on my account and they still didn't get it done. I did get a full refund of everything I paid for. I do not recommend Bluehost. There are plenty of other similar and cheaper companies to deal with.
There was a menu issue and Casper fixed it right away.
I have a good experience with Blue Host so far. No issues and a better customer service.
Not happy so far. Just wants you to buy more and more
First level tech support didn't seem to know much. I asked him to transfer me to 2nd level and he said he knew the issue but he didn't! Or so it seemed.
Only 3 stars because website down to much and slow
2 stars for affordability, the reason being my selecting the hosting plan after a cost-benefit analysis of my project. Otherwise, 5 stars for overall experience.
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.
