Experiencing a lot of issues not resolved by support.
Too many clicks to get to the control panel to edit and control the account. The old user interface was for more efficient and did not have all the extra un-needed steps. The new design sucks, it slows the process down and makes things more complicated.
You dont let me connect through ssh since the interface changes, i have contact the support for this many times, no solution
So many problems trying to set up this account and migrate the website only to experience a massive malware problem that Bluehost could not fix. Pro-migration did nothing to assist the migration and even deleted the website I had migrated. Very unhappy with the whole experience.
You need to fix your email servers. We have had nothing but problems receiving and sending emails.
I'm so irritated with the new login and how bluehost continuously tries to trick me into buying add-on services. I shouldn't have to continually tell bluehost I don't want the privacy add-on during the log-in process. When my contract is up, I'm out of here.
Site is down, one of your reps deleted our database and server appears to cause bugs. No urgency for support or resolution. Terrible.
I signed up under an offer to get a free service, but I haven't gotten it. I'm a veteran and found BlueHost through LinkedIn. I hope I'll be able to get the service eventually, this service is great!
Can be tricky switching between accounts to find websites. Don't like always seeing a sales pitch for a service when I signing to my account.
Process to move a site is cumbersome compared to other hosts
The thing I like the most is how quickly and efficiently you respond to customer queries.
I always have trouble logging into my website. You need to fix something on the backend. This is a big problem; I've seen other people have this issue on forums where the blue circle keeps loading.
I have not been able to login via webmail using my primary account. I purchased two additional email accounts for my team members and neither one can access using webmail. I have tried to communicate my challenges using the chat numerous times with no solutions. I am beyond disappointed with Bluehost.
The support agent was not knowledgeable at all. Simply did not know what she was talking about
I had the WORST experience with Blue Host and have moved my site to another provider simply because of the issues I experienced. Blue Host's service is shameful.
Harder to find what I need compared to old version.
It does a lot but could be more intuitive. Logging in to webmail is very clunky.
Word Press always has issues and I can not access my website.
This is garbage. Support is unhelpful and my site is up and down all the time.
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.
