Sluggish UI in CPanel. Phone teams blatantly lied about time required to migrate domain name and also migrate site, not setting expectations. Migration tools used to be free and now cost money or require an app to install which mines and sells your data. Wordpress was automatically installed without my knowledge or consent, and not according to my plan. FTP info in CPanel would not connect in Filezilla, support agent had to give other info. Temporary domain was created to establish account and sale but required multiple calls in order to escalate the issue.
Wordpress Speed is so slow. I can't design my wordpress site online through my Bluehost hosting account. It takes several hours to design and implement a single part of a web page.
Very slow web interface and my connection to the sql database is unreliable.
Bluehost was better before. Now the interface is confusing, and it is harder to figure out.
Good option for host PHP web sites and services. Thank you.
Great experience and customer service! State-of-the-art service!
Bluehost has become another GoDaddy in my view. Tech support is not as good and prices keep going up.
Slower page loading, but overall happy with uptime. May need some code tweaking though.
I cannot navigate beyond the "Home" page... everything times out. It's not my connection, proxy, or anything else on my end. This happens very often and if very frustrating when I simply need to change a password for someone's email account.
The customer service is the best. They have always understood my issue and were able to resolve it immediately
This is my first hosting account with Blue Host and, so far, it's been cool.
I am learning how to create a website without a webmaster.
There're hosting problems, more than few days, which seems to not going to be solved in fast period of time.
Some of the things Bluehost offers interfere with what I already have set in place or has hindered me from making custom changes within my site. For example, Website Builder did both, so I tore down my website, and started all over without it. What a hassle!
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.
