Good but my website is not getting traffic although I have optimized my website. I receive a lot of Junk emails instead of inquiries. I am not generating revenue
A web hosting company can have great tech service when all is well. But, it is when things don't go well - and it happens - that provides the hallmarks of great tech service. Bluehost has successfully and respectfully solved every single tech issue that I had no matter how complicated or difficult. The representatives take time to explain difficult applications and are always very polite. I learned a lot about Wordpress from the backend and also learned a lot about how to provide service for my own customers from a tech standpoint. Thank you, Bluehost, for helping my business for the past 3 years.
I was on a call with your customer service for 45 minutes and the person there disabled ALL of my plugins then ended their shift dropping my call and never fixing a simple problem of my clients logging in. THEY ACTUALLY LEFT THE SITE OPEN AND VULNERABLE TO THE WEB AND NEVER FIXED MY PROBLEM! I am an affiliate for BlueHost and dont even post the links which offer no kind of deal just regular rates. No incentive at all for new users. Now that I think about it my next step will be to stop affiliating my site with this hosting.
My website has been down for days and Can't get help!
I really liked the good service received so far! Thanks
My website has been offline for over a week and you have still not corrected it www.mccarterlawgroup.com
I continue to have issues with my email and no one will help. This has supposedly been escalated on multiple occasions, yet I never hear back from anyone. I will be moving my service to another company.
You cancelled our outgoing email for "spam" without even contacting us first. Thi sis very bad service
Lots of glitches on the site. SSL still not implemented. Redirect site still not implemented even though I was told it was.
I have been having problems with my e mail account
Nothing specifically negative or positive to note. Site setup seems more complicated than necessary, with conflicting messages given in host portal versus site itself, and incompatibility between plugins needed for site features.
Its been great but it would be better if there was an email that came with the domain you made instead of having to pay extra to get one. Would also be helpful if the seo was easier to work with as most people are beginners with it and dont fully understand how to work with it
It has been good so far, just had little issues with my ssl but its fixed now
I am not happy with Bluehost and have spoken to support about this. Bluehost software MYSQL is out of date and this has caused several issues with the functionality of my website plugins. I was told to find plugins that is compatible with Bluehost's outdated software. I am paying for plugins that do not work because Bluehost won't update MYSQL. Unbelievable. We are looking at changing hosting companies because of this egregious error on Bluehost's part.
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.
