Really not helpful better to go directly through wordpress
Staff don't follow nor listen and create more problems then they resolve! It also takes more than 3 calls to handle just ONE simple problem!
I am having on-going problems with my business email using a black listed IP address. I have contacted Bluehost 3 times already and I am still unable to send emails
Every year the price gets raised a ridiculous amount.
Worst experience ever! Was unable to login for about a month, then I cancel my hosting! The year after, I was billed again for a whole year, and I thought to try again, but then I could not access any of my files, and they tried to blackmail to pay extra for for SSH access!
My visitors are NOT able to sign up for comments!
Been locked out of my wordpress for a very long time. Still unclear why
The tech person was well trained and understood my situation and resolved it in one call
Stop the popups that appear after I log in. I know what services you offer and if I want them, I will let you know. Stop bombarding us with extra clicks and slowing down our workflow.
You guys charged me about $2500.00 for a $500.00 dollar value website.
Customer services difficult.
Dashboard hard to understand.
Readability poor.
Wont keep help chats open.
Good, see below for further details. Thanks for the service.
My overall experience is ok and the service is also ok.
It has been good. I love the fact that you help people walk through some challenges they cannot solve.
IP almost always are in black list. Other problems are solving slow. Need 2-3 times ask for same. Some problems are not solved for years
One again you guys have jacked up the price on me. I've been with you for... i dont even know how many years and always have to be on guard and frequently have my php versions messed up bringing down my sites... so many problems and now I have to figure out why I'm on some wordpress hosting package that I never asked for and how long I've been wasting money, again.
When I log in - as a paying customer I have to navigate BS pop ups prompting me to do things I don't want. It used to be so simple and easy to use BH. I hate logging in anymore. Long time customer here...
Not good right now. Still have a problem they can't fix.
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.
