I hate that the message us box pops up every time I log in and then I can't never just end a chat without system pinging me 1000 times.

When I use the chat, it just keeps doing the web bot. Doesn't give an option for tech support even when I put it in there. If there is not tech support, then it should let you know that when it sees the words tech support

We are in process of migrating all websites / business away from BlueHost.com due to COUNTLESS service interruptions since September 2023, with February resulting in a MASSIVE infestation of Malware after a major outage of over 72 hours, which we had to pay thousands to fix (nobody at BlueHost.com would help us).

Unfortunately, doing business with BlueHost.com has done nothing but cause our business to crash over and over again.

We've lost clients. We've lost revenue.

In fact, the only thing we've gained is debt, as it took WAY MORE to fix this recent Malware issue than we actually had in our bank account!

We regret using BlueHost.com and will vehemently advise against using them to all who will listen.

March 23, 2024
Updated review

The message to start a online ecommerce business has not stopped popping up for me. I am not an online business and I can not find a "opt out" button. Also, I receive multiple plug-in updates to an email that I have long since updated with Blue host and still nothing goes to my formal business email, frustrating. Not to mention the fact that I will have to contact customer support again because I cannot log into my website to edit the pages... again.

Easy and simple plate form to work from, the only thing that causes a "hic-up" in the process so to speak is when you try to click and drag a photo in order to move it into position, it either wont move at all or will require you to click after it repeatedly until it decides to move. But, even with that "hic-up" the setup is still super easy and friendly to use for anyone, even myself who's never done anything like this in my life.

Not happy with the service, Bluehost is constantly changes prices, packages. I have created an account and paid for unlimited websites - now I get only 5 and they ask for more money for the same services. Website GUI is also constantly changing and making things harder to find, as if they force you to to "buy" the ulimited, full, mega extra package for 1k+ USD per year.

I continue to have issues with bluehost having failed to renew a domain despite having charged me for it. It has taken over a week to try to get a corporate domain working - in the interim I have been unable to receive any written communications. This is not reasonable.

I thought I had already renewed my product, but it doesn't look that it has been done, so I have to do it again! Waste of time.
