Observations on Bluehost
May 18, 2022

Sometimes a little slow to get to sites, but overall good experience. One issue appeared when the PHP version was upgraded and all my WP sites stopped working. Technical support, however, was excellent and had me getting them all back and running very quickly.

I have used Bluehost for the last few years and overall have had a really positive experience until recently when some pretty serious mistakes were made by Bluehost leading to my website being down for several days.

The help from the Philippines is not good. We definitely had a communication barrier, and I don't feel sure that any of the information that I've been given is correct.

We continue to be challenged with email. It works 1 week and stops working the next. Bluehost seems to 'fix' it then it breaks again. We have kept asking for guidance on approach here to have stable and great email. We're willing to switch or make any adjustments and Bluehost continues to NOT be able to provide that.

My Website has been suffering from timeouts for more than a week. I was told two days ago that this was on your end with the server(s), and tech were working on it. I was given no ETA, only told it should be fine soon. It is still not fine. This is unacceptable. Been a customer more than two years. If this is not fixed, I will going elsewhere with my business.

I can't access my email...
June 17, 2022

I can't access my email... the server won't respond for 2 days now. Been using it for ages with only occasional difficulties.
Also, for a long time, the connection to email was insecure http, not https. Thanks for finally fixing this.

Mostly good. Sometimes there are small glitches I have to figure out by googling online. Your customer service is excellent. If I have a problem they have always managed to help me to resolve a problem quickly.
