I am getting really cross with the fact that whenever I log in you try and sell me the privacy option, and then pop up this questionnaire!

My Debit Card which I used in the past for Bluehost was rejected!

I've never used a Credit Card nor have I ever needed one. I had to borrow a friend's card to pay for my hosting on BlueHost!

This is ridiculous, I'll have to move to another hosting provider next year if you don't allow my bonafide bank's debit card, which I have used on Bluehost without issue.

Complex to log into wordpress
March 27, 2024

Complex to log into wordpress. Bluehost has never been able to help resolve this which means we constantly waste time.
Bluehost has also never managed to resolve an issue with backup of our website.

I wish there was a way to get rid of the spam screen for id protection. I'm tired of having to click past it every time, and I'm not interested.

The new interface is confusing
March 27, 2024

The new interface is confusing. There are too many upsells. The had a few chat support, which concluded features are no longer available. I have been a customer for a very long time and I prefer the old cPanel setup.

Bluehost has changed tremendously and is no longer the company they use to be: pricing, customer support, tech support, etc.

It's difficult to be able to make edit to pages because Bluehost/Wordpress keeps changing where things are. I also hate that I have to click 4 or 5 times after logging in to get to my page to edit it.

Could make it a little easier to navigate and/or change certain things. Even if we need to search for those things to find them...

Absolute garbage customer service
March 26, 2024

Absolute garbage customer service. I had ongoing issues with being blacklisted for falsely spamming email with no explanation given and literally days wasted and thousands lost each time I had to try fix it myself.
