I am trying to find copies of our invoices. The information provided by the "help" question mark at the top right of the screen is not very "helpful" at all.
Charges are increasing and its no longer viable to use you. Mostly because you have been charging me inaccurately and renewing my service automatically up to a year before the service is due to expire. Not good practice, and very concerning.
Every time I buy a URL... I got texts to my phone about creating logos and websites... this only happens with Blue Host... and that sucks Big Time!
Ive never had a crack at building a site seems user friendly enough and I'm getting there slowly with mine, open for any assistance, be nice to have a full featured video tutorial or the like. From start to launch, then maintenance,
Good customer service helped me resolve my problems.
The site can be cumbersome at times. It doesn't always load fast enough when changes are made. Also, the blogging tools are not easy to work with.
All that I read before starting this says that is easy to set up a wordpress with bluehost... I have not found this easy or intuitive at all.
Great service. Anoyning message. Im just rating so I can continue onto the page. I recommend not doing this or assigning ratings to any metrics. I would imagine your success be measured by your customer base and not a rating. SOrry for hte rant, but seriously, everyone wants a review all the time. Sheeesh.
Down time is excessive; ability to log into CPanel is erratic; no customer support; no accountability for down time; not responsive to customer complaints.
It's been good, but I use my site as a digital portfolio and the cost is a little higher than I'd like.
We were having many issues with M365 Licensing and it was difficult to find IT help that truly knowledgeable. It is almost impossible to receive support from Microsoft directly because they redirect you to bluehost.
I want to delete hosting plan, but don't have option.
Sorry. No time for this. Don't generally respond to surveys.
I am on the second day without most of my incoming e-mail and i am running a business. I spoke to a lady yesterday that told me Bluehost engineers were working on it and it had been a problem for more than 24 hours but should resolve in a few hours. This morning it is still not resolved. Called again and spoke to guy who basically told me to contact outlook. I did not accept that explanation as the problem is the web host. And i can e-mail out. I asked to speak to someone who could explain why i had to call outlook with a problem originating with bluehost. He got rude and told me that he had explained it. When i asked to be supervisor he didn't respond but was gone and a minute later i was disconnected.
Great experience. Everything works well with no problems. Customer service is excellent.
I am not really clear what I am getting for the money
Customer service needs improvement. Communication of downtimes from site outtages need to be communicated promptly and swiftly
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.
