Appalling service
April 4, 2024

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.

Love the ease of use, but prices continue to go up significantly more than colleague's hosting.

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.

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.

I am enjoying it, but my customers are complaining a bit about the email service and the payment. Other than that everything is good.

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.

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.
