I have been with Bluehost for many years now and have had no complaints to date.
Would say more but too bust right now.
The caching for LMS courses is giving me too many issues. I have called customer services requesting they remove the caching on my website and never disappeared from my toolbar on top.
The IT guys are awesome. 25 minutes is not always enough time to resolve the issue. Sometimes they do not readily know the answer. Takes time to find the answer to the issue
My site is always down! I've contacted you guys several times about the SSL and it is fixed momentarily and then is broken again. I'm about to switch hosting providers.
My experience has been great. No complaints so far.
Love the builder. Great functionality, intuitive, and overall fun. Great deal for the price. Migrating from Squarespace was the best decision ever.
The speed is unreliable, and there are issues with certain functions, they all work but they don't register that they've worked, and don't take you through a full functional cycle. But aside from that, Bluehost is probably the best hosting partner I've ever had!
It was good as I visit the site very little thus far because I have been busy on other projects, but am going to begin working on it by summer. Thanks for the good service.
Lots of problems since Site Builder was introduced. Hate it.
It was extremely difficult initially setting up the transfer of my website and email. I spent hours on the phone or chat and was constantly going in circles with people telling me different things while I had no access to my business emails. Not being terribly computer savvy, I felt that the instructions were geared to techs instead of a lay person.
I have issues with my website server crashing, DNS redirects not working, and plug-ins not being able to update and work with Bluehost. Not thrilled
Paid bill for my domain renewal by PayPal. I have a confirmed receipt from PayPal, but Bluehost site shows payment still due. Your site is a mess when it comes to payments. Very dissatisfied.
Before one year was less good than now... now is quite not bad...
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.
