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.
Domain registration issues have plagued our experience with bluehost over the past 3 months. We are taking our business elsewhere.
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. 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. Using DTMF on my cell phone did not transmit the tones to your site so I could not process in the original manner
Something drastically changed in October 2023. The site is so inconsistent in stability and reliability.
I'm a beginner but everything has been smooth so far.
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.
Long time customer who dislikes the services/support with a passion
Many things annoy me about your systems and user experience.
I hate the login user id vs username are different, I don't understand the domain transfer and why I was charged for something that occur
It is not the easiest thing to find a service and work out how to cancel it and the billing is confusing it is is not clear how each of the multiple 'card's pay for services
Connectivity issues and poor staff customer service.
Everything is working fine. Staff is very helpful.
I am trying to figure out how to have my email sent both to my computer and to my android phone
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.

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.
