I have had an overall great experience with Bluehost. There have been a few things that I couldn't figure out on my own and I have had to get in touch with customer service for help. I will say, I would like it if the customer service reps would explain what they did to fix things, and how they did it, because I personally would like to learn to be able to fix things myself in the future. But overall, still a very pleasant experience.

TERRIBLE customer service and countless mistakes made by them which have caused me to waste a ridiculous amount of time fixing, nobody speaks or understands English properly. Shockingly disappointed in your company, never once heard back from management about all the complaints i've put in.

My email has not worked for 2 days. YOUR website is not working properly, so cannot even make corrections there. The "call you back" customer service does not work - no one calls me back!

As a beginner, I thought the slow loading and down times as I was building my new website were my fault. It didn't take much research to see how many times BlueHost's server has been down, leaving customers in the lurch for hours. What's worse is that there's been no communication by BlueHost to users.

Good morning, the service is not optimal, especially since Friday, May 13, when they had problems, and currently I continue to show slowness in the servers and here in the company we are thinking of moving the page to another hosting.

I've been using many hosting for years. Switched to Bluehost and was disappointed with how often either the hosting or the site stops working. Surprisingly, the weaker companies with which I worked in Ukraine are much more stable.

Quality of technical support has declined since I joined many years ago which I have been sorry to see.
