I contacted BlueHost Tech Support to get help with a slow loading and slow running website. The CSR agent was friendly, quick and helpful. Not only did he help optimize the site for me, but he gave me a link to an article written by BlueHost on how to help my website run at its best speed, including WP plug-in tools I can use do to this myself, in the future.
I have used Bluehost for many years. I want to praise the online support. Even if problems arise, we always solve them quickly and efficiently which I like the most.
I did not need a website or any of the other services. I just needed domain name and everything was adjusted with refund to my card. Thank you.
I am using Bluehost for many companies since 2018, I achieved some of things successfully
Getting a domain that I bought elsewhere pointed to my Bluehost account was a technical challenge for me. Customer service was amazing and got it all straightened out.
I followed EXACTLY what I was asked TO DO by clicking on Privacy. IT SAID I was running out of time and to pay monies An extra $25.00... By doing this ALL MY ACCOUNTS, WEBSITES WERE CANCELLED. MONIES PAID REVERSED BACK TO MY BANK AND EVEN ACCESS TO MY EMAILS WERE CANCELLED. WHEN I ENQUIRED THEY SAID I WAS COMMITTING FRAUD.
After many direct phone calls by me to the Philippines to talk to numerous people the situation was finally resolved. Still have no idea what I did to bring all this on. They said something about multiple websites. ALL OF WHICH THEY GAVE ME AT NO EXTRA COST i.e.org...net...etc.
Didn't even want them in the first place.
It now appears resolved and it is all put back together again. Took well over a week... I hope it never happens again.
I have Website designers working out it now.
Second time being forced by Bluehost to upgrade the account when we already have a contract until 2027 inplace.
Your tech rep was able to step me through the setup process smoothly.
It is easy to access and change information. Families like the way it is structured and layed out. We have never had any problems with our site.
I use bluehost for a couple of sites and realized that I'd opened more sites that I can manage and bluehost responded very promptly to my request to cancel one of the sites and issued the refund immediately.
Blue host is fast and reliable. The word press builder is clutch too
I've been with Bluehost for almost as long as they have existed and go good reason. I have never had any issue with their support. Answers and solutions come quickly and my site continues to work
I migrated a LAMP web application from another system to Bluehost and got it up and running quickly with an excellent suite of built-in tools to manage my web application.
You guys have been great signing up and also great about discontinuing which is not always the case for subscriptions!
I very proud being part form you community, as a beginner with no experience before I face no problem creating my website with
I've used Bluehost for several sites (private and com) and have had a great experience creating, managing and transfering sites. Would recommend it specifically for beginner level creators and maintainers
Very helpful. Thank you for all the help. I recommend the site all the time.
My experience with Bluehost has been great, although I don't speak English, but the customer support center deserves recognition and respect, and I made unintentional mistakes, and when I contacted the support center, the mistake was addressed by them.
I wish you all the best.
Thoroughly satisfied. Ease of access is always great. Never had any issues.
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.
