Jeffrey the teach support is very helpful and took the extra mile
Our sites are constantly experiencing downtime, email isn't working, and your support staff don't know the easiest things. Tired of all the bull$#*! Bluehost, about to move companies.
Site is very slow to load sometimes. Sometimes when I publish using sitebuilder it reverts to the old version. Uploading pictures is very difficult and cumbersome, always rotating the picture randomly.
Couldnt get your site to load on either my computer or cell phone. Had to speak to customer service to get the pending "task" completed, so hopefully that will help. Customer service was great though, and very helpful.
Very helpful service reps. My service rep was very patient and really took the time to listen to me and understand what my issues were and made sure I was satisfied before ending our call.
I have had endless issues trying to get a theme uploaded and a domain propagated to be to par with Bluehost. I know nothing about website building and although I have had some good help (almost) every time I call, I am always spending a large amount of time on hold. Then, after thinking the issue has been resolved, I realize that it in fact has not and I am calling yet again. From purchasing the domain, to installing a theme, to not having the theme installed properly, and now to not being able to access my Wordpress account with my purchased (and propagated with help from your team)domain, I am finding the service and actual help lacking.
Generally good UX. However, very slow/unusable without a very fast internet connection.
Very helpful, knowledgeable and overall great service.
This happens all the time when I try to log in to my wp-admin.
"There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions."
When I call, some people know how to fix it and some don't. This is a big waste of time!
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.
