Bluehost is increasing machine drive, complicated and confusing. Constantly trying to sell more expensive additions. WHY?

I'm having trouble sending and receiving emails on my website. This is frustrating. Some of them have been important business-related messages.

The services are not the best
June 17, 2022

The services are not the best. Constant adds, server issues, i lost over 200 customers and it has too many third-party applications that confuses you and you loose control of your content if you miss one payment.

Everything about bluehost has been amazing- the only thing we have had trouble with is creating negative keywords for our sites (per request of our affiliates).

One of the reasons why I switched from GoDaddy to Bluehost, GoDaddy got too large. As result, customers suffer. It takes time to get helped and most of the reps were very unprofessional and uneducated. Bluehost 7 years ago was great until it got big. The customer's service declined and it's all about benefiting Bluehost, not the customer. Seeing the similarity on GoDaddy. Sad reality.

Site responsiveness isn't something I'd brag above at home. Migration of the content is a pain in the neck too;(

Your team has been friendly but I have had to come back and repeatedly ask for things to be done as I'll ask 'is that all that needs to be done?' and they'll say yes and then it turns out there are more things to do and when I come back hours later after being told to wait, nothing is working still. And when you re-installed the SSL certificate you reverted our website back to the 2020 content... I had to use old logins to even get in!

The delay is losing us thousands of dollars in ticket sales.

It's glitchy and slow sometimes, and I can't log into Word Press without changing the size of the window because the three lines don't show up when the window is full width.

I wish I was not having such a hard time building my website. You pay for the hosting service but then have to pay for help!
