Blue Host shouldn't advertise getting a blog up and running in only a few hours. For the average person, this isn't realistic.

After many years of good service, had non-stop problems with hosting and terrible customer service. My website specialist moved me to another server and all has been great. Too bad your service has gone downhill.

I've changed my email and it will not allow me to log in. It constantly logs me off. Even if the system takes time for the settings to change, it should alert me of that.

Keeps getting more expensive for less service. Probably my own fault, but it gets more complicated and less rewarding all the time

You constantly keep changing things where I continually have to call support. Most recently I have had to change my UserID and Password because you pushed an update. I had to find a workaround to get to one of my websites using your BlueHost Web Builder and had to now go through WordPress because you changed the process.

The representative that I spoke to earlier was very rude. He was helpful, but before he became helpful he was rude.

Bluehost randomly changed my login from my email, which was working fine for a long time, to just my first name and the last three letters of my last name and I wasn't told this change was coming and had to figure it out on my own. I'd love to know why this was necessary
