I enjoy working with Bluehost. But unfortunately some times my websites went down due to a server error. You need to fix this. And also state this when someone subscribes to your subscription plan.
I paid to renew my domain hosting and now it says expired
Great service, ease of use and many more, thank you
Every single time we try to access CPANEL we run into a cycle of having to refresh and re-login multiple times. This is across several users on many different browsers and PCs.
Very good ```````````````````````````````````````````
Great organization, easy to use portal in the desktop version (a bit less in the mobile one). Reliable and affordable. Many uses tools to develop my our website.
A little complicated to set up but once going, really great to use
They have incredible customer service. The platform is easy to use.
Two times the system has been down for almost over a week and your staff has been rude and dontreally care about our company and the amount of loss we occurred
I get a lot of error 522 messages. My website rarely loads properly.
I have been trying to resolve my payment issue for 6 months now as there are new guidelines from the Govt of India and I have got no help at all from customer care. Pls advise how to proceed? Extremely dissapointed.
A lot of hosting issues, chat takes a long time to resolve issues, sometimes issues return just days after 'fixing', attempting now to get a prorated refund for 36 month hosting plan that was paid upfront.
Servers go down all the time. All our emails are blacklisted.
I keep getting messages that my website is down for upto 40 minutes at a time.
It has been a good experience so far although the fee is a little expensive. We in Nigeria find it hard to get foreign currency and it is at a very high cost. The current exchange rate is so high.
I've always gotten good, useful advice whenever I am troubleshooting my website
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.
