We monitor reviews for authenticity
Very user unfriendly and almost zero support from the customer care
Many bugs, sometimes support breaks stuff, slow performance. Overall the willingness is there and apart from the wait times for serious support, and the accidental breaking things, the support level is generally good
Your website regularly does not allow me to get to my email.
Need 2FA that is NOT mobile phone number, eg need Google Authenticator or physical Security Key authentication
The billing has been the hardest part with the service. Pricing matters for a new business who is trying to get web established and views, etc. I wish the web host pricing was certainly lower per year and the Domain pricing as well. However, this is a good service for hosting.
They were not able to stay focused on my problem. I had to repeat things several times. Plus the situation never got 100% resolved.
Lots of bugs and glitches. Hard to navigate. Changes happen frequently and there is too much downtime. Help is difficult to obtain.
Everything has been secure. When I have problems I can use online chat to resolve them.
Unbelievable that this company will not allow customers to cancel/delete an account.
I am only completing this as it keeps popping up on my hosting account.
With what seems to be no way of cancelling it, other than completing this rating
Great customer services but very slow to acquire at times.
It takes too many steps to even log in to check my email.
Despite a problem with my login data, everything else OK.
Very pleased with the overall performance of this web hosting, never really let me down.
We have a serious issue using email and am unable to get a resolution or a response as to what has changed. Email in Roundcube no longer maintains columns that we have always had. It lets me select List Columns but does not save them when I use email and it also will not save my columns when I move the order of the columns. I have been told it is a design issue but this is a bug and it is a brand new issue - we have been using this for 13 years and it has never done this.
Bit harder to use since new interface, but still great. High point is how fast customer service helps out. Multiple issues that were cleared up within 30 minutes of first chat with customer service
Suddenly my username and password was different. I had to do a reset.
So many errors and interruptions to business. Literally cannot function like this.
I don't like being bullied into "protecting my privacy". That should be a given when I provide personal and confidential privacy as a requirement of signing up to host a website.
I have also experienced numerous problems with my website loading. This seems to be an ongoing problem.
Blue host is only that. A hosting sever. They dont help users do anything. They only host a site
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.
