My website and email have been down this week and I have reached out to support multiple times with no resolution. I am so so so ready to move on to a more helpful provider.
My site has been slow and customer service has been horrible. I've gotten hung up on multiple times and an agent even left a chat causing the next agent to apologize for him. I'm definitely cancelling the service.
Slow performance. Updated email storage. Has not worked so far.
Very, very, very, very bad information provided for email setting on Outlook.
Also the file downloaded that i supposed to do an automatic setting for the email it was recognized as a virus.
The service is good but it should have a terminal.
Awesome! It serves my needs both for personal use and professional.
The experience could be much better if the website was more quick.
Overall, the platform is great. The customer service is great. Maybe an easier way to contact customer service would be great.
I do not like the Word Press program. I want to transfer my website to Shopify.
The non-native English speakers have no clue what I'm talking about. I've tried three sessions and this is literally soul-crushing.
Solid customer service when things go sideways. Happy I moved!
Takes forever for home page to come up, then after trying three times to go to checkout for an SSL cert (with badge showing in cart) the cart is always a blank screen. Chat not easily found, and hacks happening daily, and this page behavior doesn't inspire confidence.
4 stars because the UX when deleting a domain is not great. I get some error messages, my completed action is nondescript and twice I've been rerouted to home now. The feedback should be more obvious and the routing should take me back to where I've been managing my domains.
I always have trouble with with Bluehost. I've had to reach out to get something technical fixed numerous times and it's really frustrating. I even considered a different hosting
I started to set up a website after purchasing a hosting plan. But the website builder option disappeared, and now I'm left with meager wordpress themes that are difficult to customize or delete.
I have a receipt for a domain, but can't access. Keeps going to another domain that I purchased
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.
