Support is great. Resolved the issue in one interaction. Easy to reach and they understand the problem really well.
Blue Host was a fantastic hosting service. Very easy to navigate and just worked really well.
Will need some clarity on building the site. There are some initial tasks whereas I need to know. Also, the site locked me out several times, and calculated five times, when I attempted to enter with the correct password. Interestingly strange.
Bluehost provided the best overall experience I have ever had when it comes to establishing a new domain and associated email addresses. The site was extremely easy to use, and the customer service team was incredibly helpful in answering my questions and helping me resolve a technical issue (an issue that was all my doing by the way).
I highly recommend Bluehost to all of my friends, family and anyone looking for a better overall experience!
Blue Host was very knowledgable in there support and very courteous, even though i was transfer my domain to a new host where my other products were.
It was a PAINFUL experience to finally get the service and attention from the Processing unit i.e. The team who needs to approve my change email request. I had to wait over 3 weeks for someone from the unit to reply to my numerous frustrated and admittedly venting-emails. It was frustrating primarily because my website was logged out and it was during a proposal tender period and my website was locked out due to the email change request. Eventually I was assisted by the processing unit and that went well EXCEPT that the information provided was INCORRECT! And I had to once again contact customer service to help, My website is finally up once more! I am just glad to have to put this painful experience behind.
It was very easy guide to unlock the account. Thanks for helping very quickly
The person that helped me was very polite and corrected the issue I was having
Found the experience to be time consuming, but very professional and thorough platform. This is my first or possibly second time in my life designing a site for business and the tools available are wonderful. Thank you
It is not at all obvious how to add a database to a website, so I purchased one month of their professions designer support. They had no clue how to help. I have since hired an independent consultant and he is working through it.
Bluehost has great tech personnel that can walk you through just about any problem you have. There pretty quick and very knowledgeable!
Very good platform. Not perfect but very good. Customer service is ok.
All was easy so much. Was changing my card information and all was quickly.
The Customer Service team solved my issues every time that I needed, and it was very nice and ready to help me every time. I am so satisfied with this amazing customer service team. I will recommend to everyone that need to get a website to go with BLUEHOST.
Had some issues with the SSL certificate. Tried to resolve with 3 different people and was able to resolve for every browser except for safari. Was eventually able to find someone outside of Bluehost staff to resolve that issue, but otherwise fulfilling all of my other needs
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.
