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

Excellent Customer Service
April 3, 2024

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.

Overall pretty good
April 3, 2024

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!

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.

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

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.
