I cannot even believe how bad you guys have gotten, after I'd been a satisfied customer for so many years. Nothing works and support is useless. Cannot wait to find a new hosting service.
I am so confused with how to access my website and the log in process has been a nightmare on my IPad. I chose to move everything to another provider.
Bluehost deleted my website and 3 weeks later, it's still not restored. I talked to multiple agents and managers and still, my website is deleted.
Horrible customer service, website has been down for 2 months
The pop-up every time I log in about adding domain protection security is very annoying, and there does not seem to be a way to dismiss it and keep it from recurring. Not very professional.
I got a refund for the web hosting because we dont use it and it auto renewed two weeks early. The refunded the web hosting but deleted all my DNS information two weeks early. I paid up until April 4th 2024 but they deleted everything once they gave me the refund and canceled my account two weeks early. I tried to speak to someone 4 times to get my information back but each time I was hung up on. VERY POOR SERVICE. I lost all my DNS information and my business email came to a halt. I will be leaving bluehost as well as all my clients I support. I didn't know this would happened and the support I got to restore it was horrible.
Bluehost is amazing! So user friendly and accessible, the WordPress I struggle with but it's just a learning curve!
I need to change my main website but have been told I can't...
BlueHost is the worst thing ever! I've had them for over 8 years and ignored the errors they've made over the years until they switched one of my domains to the hosting domain. I paid my monthly fee for the past 8 years. I logged into my account yesterday and they deleted at least 6 websites, I have no access to my emails, all my business banking are linked to my emails. My clients cannot reach me. It's just a nightmare. The representatives are subpar and doesn't have any idea what they are doing.
Please decrease the domains renew cost...other all things are great

Bluehost ha sido excelente en su servicio y considero que cada día mejora más. Desde que empecé a usarlo, se ha actualizado periódicamente, hasta convertirse en una opción difícil de ingualar por parte de sus competidores.
Can you please not attack me with "unprotected" upsells when I login? How long have I had my account? I haven't had domain privacy all this time, and it's on purpose. I don't need it. Thanks.
Asked for this service to be closed for 4 months and didnt get anything done was told wait for the account to close this month the host wasnt transfered to my word press accoubt was damaged
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.
