Appalling service. The chat function does not even work. I have not been assisted even though I tried several times. It then has the audacity to ask me to rate the knowledge of the rep for a service I did not even receive! I am an international client therefore don't want to pay huge costs trying to phone internationally. Bluehost do not even have an international freephone support number. Non-existent customer service. This is not a company I would recommend to anyone.
My bluehost representative spoke excellent english, she was kind, patient and knowledgeable. She even stayed on the line upon my request to make sure I understood the process and how to do it myself. I have never had a better experience designing my website. Bluehost please keep up the GREAT work and never get rid of your phone line.
I have experienced email issues for the past month with no resolution. Unacceptable for a service like this.
Page keep closing on log in. Received non payment message and paid at least 30 days ago.
The Blue Host representative was terrific. Shs was patient, listened to my concern and help me resolve the issue, which was probably not an issue other than my own ignorance. I was sorry that I was unable to complete the phone survey after the call but something happened to the connection and I was cut off. Probably of my own doing. Love Blue Host customer service!
I've contacted you multiple times and spent hours attempting to update my DMARC policy so my marketing emails can reach my audience. Over and over I'm told "we're working on it" and yet, it never is completed. It's been months - how many weeks can it possibly take?
Your customer service is horrific... you charged me a domain renewal fee because, the system did not process the transfer request before domain expired, Even after it was proven the request was made 30 days prior to the transfer. So, in order to transfer my domain, I had to pay the renewal fee and then pay it again to the other hosting company.
Having so many problems setting up a site. Was told bluehost and Wordpress were easy. Not true for me
Your services have been wack in recent times. I am tired, already!
I followed the prompts from the email reminder and didn't run into any issues.
You are already charging for my website and leave my information exposed unless I pay you more money. That is AWFUL. It's criminal. I will not continue with this platform because that is scummy.
You have not been helpful at all. I am still awaiting a refund and you keep debitting me without my cosent!
My site does not display a coming soon page, nor is this an easy to use drag and drop website builder. I was expecting a host with the tools and applications I had previously. The wordpress block system is not user friendly.
I love that I can get help in a timely manner. Everyone that I have talked to has been patient and helpful. Especially helpful for a beginner like myself. Thank you.
I am having trouble knowing if my Goggle domain was added correctly to Bluehost
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.
