Bluehost Support was always great and I admire that! But the changes for the subscriptions announced by Management was really a hassle to us developers, I had to migrate 15 websites (2 weeks of work) and keep only 10 for my unlimited web pro subscription that I thought it would never change on renewal! I still need to migrate more websites to achieve the terms requirement of 200,000 inodes/files on server! Hope this strategy doesn't shake the company foundation because it might cause customers to halt their accounts and move to competitors. I believe in Bluehost but please keep in mind and heart your Customers.

The lack of support with our site being down and our domain DNS records (on ALL of our domains) has been horrible. Our livelihood is from our website and being told from Bluehost that it will likely have to wait until Monday. Horrible. 5Q Central and Movement Leaders Collective has been with Bluehost for over a decade. That might be changing.

My food blog was hacked
March 26, 2024

My food blog was hacked. No help from you to look at my site and give help or advice except to sign up with SiteLock. I talked to your support people several times. Poor English was not a help.

Rep was great

Rep was great. Using DTMF on my cell phone did not transmit the tones to your site so I could not process in the original manner

You didn't help me when I told you That it wasn't working and even when I got a response, you admitted it the blueprints I was trying to use were broken but didn't help me use them. Also, wordPress is Utterly awful. And overcomplicated Use something else.

It's been a lot of fun putting my site together, although I know I need to make lots of improvements. I look forward to much more to come.

The website is great but every time I login it keeps asking me to add a new service, and the option to decline is very small text. I can see many people getting confused by this.
