I don't like the full page ad offering backup services when I sign in, and there isn't any decline or "no thanks: button where I can't easily exit the page!

Stop trying to sell me things and check boxes by default that add services, forcing me to have to opt out.

Too much sales promotion! I have what I need. I just want to get to my site. When I log in, it should take me directly to it.

I've been very pleased with using Blue Host. The only thing that could improve is I keep having these Russian spam emails post on my site. I mark them spam, but they don't stop, more keep coming. Otherwise, I'm totally happy with the site.

Getting into my account is easy, but some of the annual charges are way more than the introduction fees. This impacts me continuing service. I do like that I am given a heads up before I decide to continue service.

Worst webhost ever
April 4, 2024

Worst webhost ever. Our side is redirecting. We were talked into buying a $500 site lock security package and after weeks our website is still being redirected with problems and no one will help.
