Having continues trouble with receiving and sending emails. Talked to agent yesterday. Was promised a call back when problem has been resolved. Still waiting for resolution of problem and subsequent phone call.
Frequent issues with hosting, can't access my WordPress site.
Support is only helpful to a certain extent.
The best hosting of all time and I have been with many hosting company's over the years.
I am a beginner in website building and I am currently in a program which offered this platform. I was very intimidated at first, and I am still navigating the whole website building environment. Soooooo, so far I am getting acclimated and more at ease with the whole process. Thank you bluehost! I am definitely on my way...
The interaction of the GUI interface is very slow. Many times I have to wait 5+ minutes to jump from menu to home and vice versa. It has improved over the recent week; however, still has issues.
My website is working very slowly. Pages take a long time to load. It took me ages just to upload a new product because even on the back end it is moving so slow. Please fix this!
I am finding the setup of Bluehost mostly straightforward, but since all I wanted was a blog, and not the whole page, all I care about is using wordpress. No matter what I do in Wordpress, all I get are offers to spend more money or get pushed back to my Bluehost page. I thought this was going to be easy.
I've used Bluehost services sing 2012-ish I think, and I am always blown away by the customer support - and blown away that I so rarely need it! Thanks, you guys may very well be the very best!
My websites is very slow from the past week, none of your tech has been able to solve this issue, I havent changed anything on the site, your tech told me it was hosting issues on the server
I love being able to talk to real humans; however, I can't get real help unless I upgrade when I'm already paying a lot.
Except technical support has decreased in past 6 months. Support has been getting really good in past year or two.
My site is down almost daily in the morning hours. Huge inconvenience to me.
A lot of complicated procedures in posting and traffics. Add to that, whenever you turn your face, you meet the obstacle of SEO. Where is it, the simplicity of blogging and visibility?
Ni am busy and don't have time to do this right now\
Horrible service - website hosting issues for 5 straight days, no communication, I'm never using Bluehost again and am in process of moving to different host.
I have no p roblems using bluehost and when I do, it is quickly resolved! Thank you.
Lots of technical issues, cache plug does not update probably, very slow, and it is always down
It has been easy to use. The spell check on the email is really weak.
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.
