I've contacted customer support on two different occasions and still am not receiving services.
How can I dismiss the Message US popup? It's in the way and has no apparent cancel control.
Your new disimproved design is very poor - I can't find my cpanel. Your chat is poor too- can't answer this question. Poor work
They are reliable, kind, and flexible. Also, they provide sales quite often, so beginners can start websites quite easily.
You keep changing settings for my site which is making it impossible to use my blog composition software. I have to call and you say you don't know what I'm talking about but 30 minutes later the problem goes away. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING TO CALL YOU ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.
In overall good. But the domain renewal is not shown on the Domains list.
I dislike being bombarded with marketing prompts and it's very cumbersome to get to CPanel.
Overall pretty good. Somethings I am still having a hard time figuring out and making my site what I want without having to pay for a bunch of themes or add-ons etc. It gets expensive!
A little difficult for a newish user--I had a wordpress site years ago, but many things have changed.
From the start of my membership i have been in contact with the blue host chat service due to technical issues in my account. Although they have helped. I still later on experienced difficulties with the tools as everything is complicated. Moreover you need to keep paying for any additional service although it should be part of the membership. I used to be an Ipage costumer and it was better. I still cant figure out how to add a minimum word count on my WPforms. As I'm receiving a lot of spam. I wont be surprised if they ask me to pay for this too.
Stop popping up this annoying survey upon login. How can i provide feedback before i even start the task at hand?
The same card I used in another site's and working very good?
The bank say nothing from there end?
Since 6th of March my site is not working because of your billing system?
I feel blue host has gone down in customer service.
I can't easily get ahold of English speaking representatives and I'm rather annoyed at a $2000 site I've had made which doesn't seem to be what I wanted
My Control Panel is not showing. When I log in I get a blank page
Renewal process needs to be more transparent about pricing.
My website was down several times. I had to follow up multiple times to get it fixed.
Respect that some of us want to manually renew each month. Each time I pay, I find that you have switched that preference to automatic renewal. Not cool.
Don't like being asked to leave feedback every time I enter Bluehost. Yet another button to click and having to leave negative to stop this happening again.
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.
