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.

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.

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 the worst thing ever!
April 1, 2024

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.

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.
