This year has been a bummer for me. There's no way I can contact support more than 3 times and the same problem am facing is still not fixed. Personally, I feel like your cpanels are a bit bloated; but for a technical person that's just okay since I can try and fix what I don't like. Honestly speaking, if you need to raise money to re-train your staff, just put up a donations page and I'll be the first to give a generous donation.

There has been an issue with the Bluehost web builder since last year. I am in the process of looking for another hosting site.

Bluehost does a great job. Be great if there was more technical support for programming issues

Bluehost used to have really great tech support but the migration assistant took 3 days to move my site and I was told not to do anything, that is way too long. I have also been trying to update a credit card for another account and Bluehost will not take the update. This has been very frustrating lately. What happened?

Your site has never actually had the correct feedback / error messages for my account. In almost two years, I still get constant error messages that aren't mine and can't submit help tickets effectively etc. Just generally second rate. Still the baseline service does work and is doing its job.

My domain name has been transferred. I have repeatedly followed the steps to get started, but it just buffers over and over.

Very bad experience I have more than a year with a problem that all my wordpress sites are getting infected. And we don't know why they don't give me an answer... they just tell me that I have to pay for them to solve it for me. I would never recommend them

Signed up for email and have not been able to access it so far. It's been 5 days. Was told it could take up to 72 hours.

I've been trying to update my billing method for months but it always gives me a error or 'can't update it for now" or "wrong credit card number" even if I paste my mastercard number from my online banking app...

It started off quite rocky, I almost left bluehost for another company, but as time has passed, things smoothed out and it has become a good experience.

Great, fairly priced, chat support helps no matter which subscription option you have. Great designs and simple website builder integrated. Only caveat is that it server seems slow sometimes.
