I contacted Bluehost chat support recently, and was pleased with the interaction. I was connected with an agent quickly, and they answered my question with friendly professionalism.
I spent a long while on the phone Sunday to get my website name changed and get https on it and it still isn't working 2 days later.
Can't always get into my email. My blog photos were down yesterday. Can't always lot into my wordpress through blue host
Too many issues with support staff lying and trying to force me to change nameservers to blue when it is not required to assign domains
I cannot get rogue domains off of my account. I've spoken to customer service 3 times, it has now been escalated and still the domains remain.
Bad costumer service. I was trying to contact you for hours and no one seems to answer my message.
Problem to use website builder 5 times starting from scratch, cannot finish the process blocking at the last step
Cannot connect through domain name or email adress but only by signing in with google
I was told that I would get my website cost waved. Customer service has never been consistent. I received the wrong information from customer service representatives frequently and it impacts my site.
Having too many problems and not enough support to resolve my issues. Looking at moving away now.
The Bluehost builder was really hard to work with starting out. Also, my site has been down a lot lately or it takes really long to load sometimes. Sometimes I can't log in. Customer service has been really good so far though.
Everything is horribly slow since I moved/upgraded. It needs to be fixed, my developers are getting bogged down w/ simple changes. If not, we will find another host.
My site divinecode. Page has been offline and non-responsive an excessive amount since May 12,2022 (at least). It was offline just now when I checked.
So far so good. Just a bit slow at times considering I have a quick internet connection,
I have very good experience because of customer support
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.
