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.
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 like the process is so simple and easy to follow...
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.

I cannot figure out why my blog is telling me it isn't secure. I thought I purchased the security option.
Access to my server was horrible. And created tons of issues. Downtime extended for an entire week.
No receiving emails from site. Chatted with support and they were unable to help
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. 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.
Smooth experience. The interface looks clean and easy to use. I'm very satisfied with the customer service! Incredibly fast! I didn't have to wait more than a minute to receive assistance.
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.
