My subscription is due to expire in 1st April but why will my websites and domain be shut down before my current payment is due to run out. Also why will money be taken from my account before the current subscription ends without a notice of the amount and when they wish to take it out from my account? I received an email earlier this month that a payment of £146.80 precisely for a year's renewal. But today Bluehost took £397 from my account for the same renewal because they have access to my payment details. Calling the to restore the website, I am getting an email that it has been delated and I can call back if I have backups.

I have been trying to transfer my domain to Bluehost for over a week, and although I received an email stating the transfer didn't go through, 3 support agents told me not to worry it would, but it still hasn't been transferred.

Too difficult to add specific HTML code.
Plus I haven't found a way to change the background color of the main menu.

I am so tired of all the problems I have with Bluehost. Seriously, EVERY TIME I try to log in there is an issue. I am seriously looking for another provider.

The huge banner ad upon login is incredibly deceptive. You can't opt out and it comes up every time. I fell for it one time. I just want to log into my account without your constant advertising! I am ready to leave Bluehost over this!

I've been having issues with accessing with my WordPress site, but no one can fix it. I kept getting answers that state there's nothing wrong on your end. I'm really frustrated. I've been patient trying to get the issue resolved. It's been a week now.

Because of a system update that your company performed it left my website down then when we tried to use the backup the website no longer works or functions how it once did. The first 2 people who "helped" me didn't punch in the correct information to get the help that was needed. On my third contact to you guys the help desk guy finally punched in the information needed to help me. Unfortunately it ended up doing no good.

The new system is more rigid, more restrictive, it started with many errors and its services have become more expensive while reducing the capabilities they previously offered.

Over and again I have had the same issue unresolved for months and moths. Bluehost, a once caring and excellent company in terms of fairness and customer service, has become a giant dissapointment and I have to move all of my business elsewhere. Three or more chances to resolve my issue have failed.

I've been with Bluehost for a while. Ultrawebsite Hosting is where I hosted and then Bluehost took it over and then stayed as Bluehost. I transfer, when I can, all my clients to Bluehost.
