I don't know why my domain "Basic" registration fees increased suddenly!
Helpline has not been helpful and not knowledgeable. I have had to call 4 times to speak with someone and no one has been able to resolve my issues
Cannot get anyone on phone support. Never get a call back when I leave my #
Too many changes with no warning or steps on how to still effectively use Bluehost and building pages. I used to just log into WordPress and create and now when I click "Log into WordPress" I get error pages
My site has been going off and on sporadically and every time I contact bluehost I'm told their servers are down. This is very disappointing considering the amount of money I pay to host with you.
Customer service takes forever to respond and promised services never appeared
Site is slow to load. On several occasions, the whole site is down for hours.
Easy to use platform and very helpful support staff
Still adjusting to this new interface. I'm not sure it really helps
Love your customer service and uptime on the the servers
Your support has sucked today. Your supervisor lied to me and then put me on hold for over 30 minutes to later hang up. I've spent over 5 hours today with support with no resolution.
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.
