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.

A reasonable experience marred only by the occasional slow processing/access of admin features.

Since your upgrade the panel I have had numerous problems, sites disappearing, emails not being received due to the servers being changed without being notified plus others. The new panel is far too sales orientated.

Your servers were acting strangely on Friday May 13th. My website was down on and off throughout the day. I called into your service, and the answer was it was your issue not mine. Prior to that, I also messaged your Twitter account.

Having trouble trying to figure out wordpress and get my site up and running-the basics of logging in through wordpress without first going through bluehost are not clear. May go directly through wordpress when this term expires

As a Bluehost and Bluesky member, I have been greatly pleased with the services. All of the representatives are knowledgeable, friendly and patient.
I'm thankful I chose Bluehost domains and services! As a consumer, I have recently renewed to continue as a member. Thank you!

I have used Blue host as a springboard to my education as a blogger. Having just begun, Bluehost seems to point me in the right direction so far.

You guys never see it through

You guys never see it through. I have been struggling with a DNS issue for over a week and no one will actually do anything. It is terrible service. I have called and called.

It's rare to find an online company who genuinely appreciates their customers. Bluehost has worked with me through a string of issues and they have always been cooperative and innovative. I truly enjoy working with Bluehost.

Recently I have had trouble with my editing ability. I had to switch to a classic editor and it hasn't been the same experience ever since.
Before this happened it was wonderful though.

The worst

The worst. NO ONE seems to be able to help me set up three Google Workspace email addresses attached to my domain. I've called several times to no avail.
