I have tried 4 times to get the website to launch, and it keeps getting started on the "We are preparing your site for you" screen, but never finishes. When I log out and back in, all the steps are lost and I need to redo it each time.
It is relatively easy to use. There are real people to help.
Little difficult getting the hang of making a website but I like figuring it out with the help of tutorials provided.
Excellent tech support. Severs go down unexpectedly.
It's been about an hour and I have not received any website support yet after submitting a ticket support request.
Website super slow. The server keep crashing. My website is offline for long time.
I get great feedback on the site, and the customer service is excellent.
I would like a way to delegate access to the portal
Bluhost has been great. I am a complete novice and even I can figure things out on here. Also they have awesome service anytime I have an issue even it is was one that I caused.
I made this account and selected to choose my domain later. Then once I went to create my domain it said I had to purchase, I did the chat assistance and they helped walk me through getting my free 1 year domain. Then they switched it to my primary domain as it was labeled as "parked". Now my site doesn't work, it says invalid SSL certificate. I went back to chat assistance, and the person said they fixed it and to wait 15-20 minutes. I have waited over 30 minutes now and my site still says invalid SSL Certificate. I cannot edit anything.
Great work guys. You figured out the problem with the software and also helped with a redirect to make finding my site earser. Bravo
At first I thought your service would be good but I am not satisfied with your service
Rubbish! Filled with hackers who will take over and destroy your website. Bluehost will say they fix the problem but its never fixed... They keep hacking and taking over. You will not have any control of your website
Best thing that ever happened to me. Fair price and my website is working great
Just having difficulties as someone new to blogging
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.
