Do not do business with them. They are a scam. They have an F rating with the better business bureau and there is an article from the better business bureau warning people not to do business with them. They need to be shut down!
Unprofessional business, terrible customer service, money hungry people that cannot keep track of their invoices, customers info, or who they have business with. I have asked for refunds over and over again and this business refuses. I asked what I paid into build my website to be refunded to me, because they deleted my work and all traces of it, so the product i paid for didnt exist... they refused and said there was nothing they could do and would not refund me and actually asked me to spend more money to get my site back up. They are money hungry and will delete your website if your a little late on yearly dues/fees owed or if you have issues that they don't feel like dealing with. If there is any issues with invoices not be sent they will deny it and blame the customer. I had yearly dues not paid and had no idea because they forgot to send the invoice. Then I got penalized for their mistake, told it was my fault and they shut down my website. When I gladly paid it as soon as I found out about dues owed I had to wait days for my website to be back up. They would not offer the fees to be waived even though it was a mistake on their end. They would randomly change my login to get into my admin page to update my site. So sometimes I had no idea how to even get into my site or update it. They make you go to a whole different web address and log in to update your site, upload pictures etc. Its insanely glitchy and slow and not user friendly. They also would change the url randomly so i would always get some error code that the site does not exist and i couldn't log in... to a website I was paying to use. Which i could not use. There websites are not mobile friendly and they make you pay more if you want that... yes pay more. In a era where everyone uses their smartphone to view sites they want the standard to be desktop first. In the end I ended up having my site back online working really hard to update it, only to lost it all in 2018. There servers crashed and they lost all their customers websites. They had no back ups of the sites or customers sites or customers drafts or anything that could have been saved. I lost everything. I had no site, no drafts, no back ups or even customer service to help get me answers. They once again asked me for money and told me I can buy another template and start over again. From scratch. They were very unprofessional about handling this and got very hostile about the fact that they made a mistake and took it out the customer asking me to pay for more services due to there mistake. I eventually moved all my website business elsewhere and even moved my hosting elsewhere so I had no more business or monetary ties with them. And today I received an invoice for hosting fees. I terminated my hosting with them a year ago and they are still trying to get money out of me. I tried to call the number listed on the invoice for customer service and the voicemail was full. I couldn't even leave a message. This business is a joke and there level of unprofessionalism is insane. Do not do business with them... they will not take care of you as a customer and just care about money. When I messaged the company about the new charges for something I don't owe I told them I have not hosted with them for over a year and my domain is being hosted elsewhere. They replied that they will just delete my domain and put it back in public pool... And the kicker is the person who replied, Aundrea, would rather delete someones site and domain first before looking into anything. I host with a totally different service now and have no idea how she thinks i am still her customer. I hope this place goes out of business soon and people stop giving money to this incompetent business

I have been using BluDomain for about 3 years. I created a basic photography website back in 2013. No issues or problems. I thought it was really easy to use and did the trick. Recently I decided to create an e-commerce site as I expanded my business. I purchased the retail site Colfax for $50. After going through the setup and trying to get the site to work, I gave up. It was not advertised. No big deal. I decided to switch over to GoDaddy's online store solution. Since I purchased my domain name from BluDomain I wanted to get it transferred over to my GoDaddy Account. I found out that my domain name was registered by GoDaddy but under BluDomain's GoDaddy account. The GD people told it was simple to just have BD transfer it to my GD account name. I read how to do it this on BD support page and paid $60 to have the domain and site transferred. I didn't want the actual site and files transferred since I was going to be starting from scratch. But I paid $60 and I received no other correspondence from BD. I had to create a support ticket to find out what was the status of my request on 10/27. On 10/28 someone finally contacted me. They asked for some information which I supplied to them. They needed details about by GD account which I supplied. After giving them my information, nothing has happened and they have not written back to me. I posted messages to them on 10/29,11/2,11/3, and 11/12. They even changed the status of my request to Completed or Finish around 11/1. By me writing back it changed to the status to Awaiting Reply. I even went online to their live chat and gave my support ticket # to the person on the chat. She thanked me and said someone would contact me right away. That was about 7-8 days ago. No response. As of 11/12 I am still waiting for my request, which I paid $60, to have my domain name transferred to my GD account. So I paid $50 for the retail site that was awful. And, I never even asked for a refund. And, another $60 to get my domain name transferred to my GD account. That is $110 I am out and nothing has been done about this nor has or will anyone from BD contact me. Here is support ticket thread so you can see I am not making this up: John Rizzuto

I sent this similiar last night but did not receive a confirmation message so I am not sure if it went through.

I would like to switch my domain to GoDaddy for hosting and it needs to be transferred to my Godaddy account. My account name is: johnbrizzuto

I understand there is a $60 charge to do this so please send me the paypal link to pay this.

Thank you.

I was with blu for four years. The templates were simple and beautiful, but had a few minor bugs that were never addressed. The templates also came with video instructions which were very helpful in the designing process. I didn't mind reading instructions and communicating via email or live chat, but could improve drastically with more employees and a 24/7 chat. The new sites that came out yearly had more features which I always looked forward to. I bought a new site every year even though the site would go down periodically (this was my first website & I thought it was a normal maintenance thing). I put two stars to be fair because the first few years were great with them, even with the few hiccups. Then it all began the third year. I got my typical yearly bill and paid it ahead of time, which I always do! Then they billed me again and took my website down. I resorted to the "live Chat" located under the contact tab, after trying to email them. The person I finally got a hold of through email got snarky with me and was adamant that I didn't pay the bill without even looking into it, but then I sent screenshots of the Paypal payment. She still tried to insist I did something wrong and I had to get Paypal involved to prove to her it was paid for. After a week it was finally resolved, but then three months later they billed me AGAIN! Once again I went through the same steps to resolve the issue. My biggest advice is to pay their invoice through Paypal. Then it happened AGAIN (yes again) and I grew very frustrated, impatient, and finally decided to leave. I couldn't deal with the headache of fixing something repeatedly that was an issue on their end, while they held my website hostage. If you go to their "Live Chat" just watch all of the conversations that take place! It's really unfortunate because I might still be on the site if the billing wasn't such an issue. Even after I discontinued my services with them I received yet ANOTHER bill a year later from them. I even brought these issues up and they didn't seem to care enough to look into it. I lost trust in their ability to be organized and care for their customers. I'd really love to hear a good turnaround for them when it comes to these minor things that are very fixable. I thoroughly enjoyed the affordable aspect and simplicity of the templates.

I tried to post this on their FB page, but it wouldn't go through. I'm thinking they may have disabled comments, or are filtering them, due to other unhappy consumers.

"This is an attempt to be acknowledged by BluDomain, regarding 3 un-answered tickets that I have sent to them over the past 2-3 weeks. My website has 100% trashed the quality of my images and I have turned to using a FREE website, with a non-custom URL, over my BluDomain website that is a month or less old by now. That's sad... I would really appreciate an answer or response to my ticket, and highly discourage anyone who is considering buying a BluDomain website... there are many other quality options. Also, because it seems BluDomain likes to erase comments from dissatisfied customers on their FB, I will be spreading this news from here to every where, on every forum I know... and all of my personal, and business FBs. I'm not normally the type of person to do this, but your awful customer service deserves to be held in the spotlight for a few moments, and not for admiration, to at least save the money of some other photographers and small business owners. Thanks for reading. (www.krystalynnephotography.com) The website I REFUSE to share with my clients."

Bottom Line: BUY ELSEWHERE.
