Easy to use and learn no experience need to create a website
Excellent experience, everything is smooth and fine
I am very happy with the bluehost service. And when there is an issue i receive help immediately. Thank you.
I've contacted customer support twice about my issue and they inform me that it the issue would be resolved within 4-6 hours... But I'm still having issues, and now with more than one email address.
So far not too bad. I am still trying to get used to the control panel. It seems that the new control panel is a bit clunky. Controls seem slow to act. Other than that everything is working as expected.
I have found it a challenging and steep learning curve. Even though I was able to set up and maintain my webpage, I still don't have a clue about subscriptions and maximizing the benefits of my webpage. Yes, I could hire someone. But the purpose of setting up this webpage was to learn. Bottom line, I need to invest more time in learning.
It is Ok. I am a new user. Let's wee how it will go
Not as easy as I thought it would be! But I'm getting better at it.
My experience has been pretty good. I can run my own website. There are still things that I wish I knew how to do but have struggled to find help.
I have had many crashes of my sites due to server problems, when I entered bluehost, it was not like that. For the same reason I changed from another provider to bluehost. If it continues like this I will also change.
Trying to update credit card info. Took 5 minutes to find the right place and now it is not working
Besides the Good service, the servers are reliable. Easy access to all features.
So far so good, other than some wasted time when trying to get online chat help.
There have been some bumps in the road for what I expected to be a seamless experience. The main issues have been surrounding my domain and setting it up with the hosting site (from which it was purchased). I hope that everything is resolved now after having already spoken to customer care. However, I will say that customer care has been beneficial.
Awesome hosting and prices are great for me. It includes everything I need so that will be my hosting for a long time, as long as the prices stay like this :)
I had Bluehost for years and usually no issues, but when there is an issue, the people responding at the end of the support lines have so much lacking in skills. Always handing you off to someone else because that person doesn't know anything. Hire tech people to answer the phones in the first place. It would save me time and you money in the longrun.
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.
