I don't log on very often and the panels have changed locations. Makes it difficult to locate what I need.
Ok, still have some issue with the help support chat
Blue host is the biggest player in my success. I am very old client when blue host started, i started with it; and together we grew...
Wordpress annual renewal is way too expensive compared to my first subscription
I don't understand why you added a login when I already had an email and two way authentication to login. I was almost locked out of this account and I have been locked out of another account for another website because you guys keep changing the login criteria. What's the point of it being safer if I can't even login because of your stupid policy to continuously change the method of log in?
Some things are more difficult to find. Also, I liked the Horde email better.
You had a good design (2 years ago) but you keeep changing it, also trying to trick me in purchases
Tech support has deteriorated over the past several years. The hold music consists of three songs that play for hours on end. I have them memorized. If holding for a long time, I don't want to hear the same songs.
The domain renewal dates are listing under European conventions, so I can't tell whether I am looking at months or days in the second column. I just missed a renewal date because of this. Very annoying.
I just learned that I am over your file count. Unlimited was what I purchased from you almost 2 years ago. Your company sold me on the unlimited capabilities with building and hosting websites. So much so I came from GoDaddy to you. Know I am out of compliance because what you told me did not last long. Plus there is not easy way for a number webmaster type person to fix this. Which again cost more money. I am not utilitzing emails with all my sites. So that again means no easy fix. Signed Frustrated to no end.
I just have personal accounts so I do not need your business related services I also do not update my accounts very often so I don't need programming support. Thus the service is too expensive.
Chat window won't close in firefox browser - really annoying. Also, you deleted one of my credit cards.
We have had a few issues with our SSL certificate not renewing promptly which has led to our site being down for days and we can't access our emails.
Website has been in existence for decades. Blog for nearly as long. But blog developed an issue over a year ago. It didn't allow me to add anything, but the years of existing content was still accessible. I've been sick and haven't done anything about it. Now, the blog is totally inaccessible. I can't even get into it via my FTP app.
After the last update everything is messy, the whole menu is not even organize anymore, all takes more time to find where the options are, and is not user friendly. Get back to the old model or make better UX changes because right now is not
Weebly is hard to find and use now and I rather not be forced into wordpress.
Your service is very bad. The email given does not work.

I've requested for a refund for my account multiple TIMES! No response! Ugh!
I'm having trouble updating the files of my site. My updates are not showing, or they take a long time. Plus, depending on tthe device and browser, I see different versions, or the SSL doesn't work automatically, showing my address as not safe.
Quit trying to sell me something every time that I log in! It is becoming very annoying!
Turn off those darn ads for us old timers who have been with Bluehost for over a decade.
I've hosted my site on Bluehost for over ten years now. The only complaint I have is servers going down and my PHP memory being changed to less when you are doing some server moves.
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.
