Your support is very bad, they can never solve a problem, and you don't have an email address we can write to. The main issue is that I'm supposed to be able to send 100 (bulk) emails per hour, but I'm unable to do that, because they are all returned with the message "server temporarily unavailable AUP#MXRT:" and sometimes other messages. It also looks like your site is blacklisted. To add to this, I can no longer use Webmail as before, which is very inconvenient when I'm travelling.
Very poor Customer Tech Support, and many tech issues slowing down service consistency
Regular Log In issues, yesterday had an issue with Log in, surprisingly the tech support agent has changed log in user id and when i asked him to retain registered email as a user id without change, he told me this what is registered and cant change, ignoring all my past log in history
Site Activity speed is very slow response
Very user unfriendly. My acct has been hacked. I chose to not renew and now you gave me a different username and added a $200 charge on me. I want all of my association with Bluehost to be canceled.
I renewed my google workspace. It has been 24 hours and it is still suspended. I am not sure why and customer service is no help.
Site is not very intuitive. Takes time (and YouTube videos) to figure out how to do what is needed.
Tech support takes forever especially over chat. I also seem to be a conundrum for your tech support because I (gasp) dent use wordpress. Our site has bounced up and down, going dark and coming back up, for over a month now, and no one seems to care over there.
My website is down. When I attempt to open it, I receive several error messages: "Deprecated" then a lot of code. I don't know what is happening as I am paid in full for my hosting account. I cannot reach customer service to get tech support. Frustrated and shocked about it.
Bluehost keeps getting worse everyday! The site gets harder to navigate and customer service is awful!
Pretty good tech support...but too much stuff to go through to access account. Even though I saved login stuff. Still have to go through capcha and all the stuff. Take 1 minute to access my e-mails.
Services are great overall, but any time in the past 15 years that I've had a problem, it takes a week to recover services -- resulting in DAYS of being down. All because it takes days for Tier3 to get involved. They told me this past time it was because they were waiting for my response via email. Not true. I jumped through EVERY hoop and obstacle they put before me. Services went down on Monday, were restored Saturday afternoon. What a disaster. No, I am not a happy customer.
Great instruction, step by step, and clear instruction
The domain setup for multiple sites is broken. This should not require me to have to contact support every time
New layout have many issues. Also support staff are not good. They are giving wrong updates. We ask them to do changes on server about disable and enable or installation, they told us that we have done that please check after a hour or few hours, and when we are checking after time given then after its not done, it is working like before. Support team are not giving correct solution. We need to contact support multiple times for that.
Utter crap. Days of lost work due to your lack of effort.
You've changed your back office and I cannot find my invoices from you, my products that I've purchased are unavailable. You charged me for new things I never requested or ordered. It's confusing to try and find out what my status of accounts is on the products. I don't know what you did.
Why are you trying to sell me security? That should be automatic with my subscription to your services.
Elementor says my license code is invalid. This has happened more than once. How to fix?
Something changed without any notice. Suddenly my zen cart is not working. Has it been eliminated?
It's harder than i thought as a beginner to set up.
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.
