Ok. But Renew price too high for provided services
Difficulty moving a main domain to dormant and secondary domain to main. The wordpress template i've somehow used is stuck and requires me to log in and use 'bits' of bluehost or wordpress to edit - i'm doing a full redesign tonight as i can't move forward with my plans. The tech support is good but the whole parked thing is super frustrating. I want to be able to have my bluehost plan and have my domains and my sites as separate entities, so 1 was dormant until the license lapsed so got parked but i then had the garage thing for the nd domain, i just dont get all of that. You should make that more user friendly i think.
My experience with Bluehost has so far been great; I'm very happy in choosing them! Thank you Bluehost!
Server has been down for days. I've been a customer for over a decade and the prices have not stopped going up despite the fact that the service is getting worse and worse. Now i cant even open a chat to speak with someone. Unacceptable.
Your hosting sucks. I can't edit my site. I am trying to cancel my account that I bought yesterday and have been on hold for more than 30 minutes waiting for assistance.
CS has been great every time I have called. The options for multi-site packages are nice. Price is the big win.
Email is not working!
Can´t contact anyone that helps me
Can´t get to Advanced
A real shame!
Excellent! There is no other word to describe the experience i have had sicne turning to Bluehost.
Issues with wordpress login yesterday. I left them a message to call me but they never did.
While I'm not a web expert, and I'd rather rake course ground coffee across my eyeballs than build a website, BlueHost & WordPress has offered simplified solutions for our web presence and storefront.
I'm having a difficult time navigating and understanding things on my own. I wish there were a community or a coach I could reach out to. I wish this service were included in my membership and not as a separate fee.
Amazing. It's been quick efficient and 0 problems so far.
Yesterday My Sites totally disappeared and I could not access them while seeing them under Domains. When I upload plugins I get blocked and when I follow the instructions in the Knowledge Base, it doesn't help to solve the problems.
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.
