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!
Customer service was not the best or available when I started as a new website owner.
Bluehost suport has not been able to help us after migrating our WP Professional Hosting site to VPS hosting - with nameserver issues and with server email not working (WP emails not sending)
I hate having to scroll down just to get past the advertisement for additional services to get to my account.
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.
Hadn't used the website during my off season. Was locked out, due to upgrades. Got me up and running again
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.
I was having diffilculty updating my website. Tech service was great and I was up and making changes rapdidly.
Not always as helpful as I would like. I pay for privacy but I'm still being contacted by third parties.
I have no idea what to do to retrieve email from the site.
Totally useless interface.
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.
Easy to navigate and find the information I need.
Bull$#*! that I don't want to pay for is hidden and hard to turn off.
Whenever I needed help, customer services was always attentive.
My domain has issues sending emails that constantly end up in the Junk bin
I have problems with ssl, can't figure out why the email is not sent to my inbox
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.
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.
