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 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.

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.
