Portal is Ok, below average. What makes Bluehost very powerful is knowing that there's 24/7 live support if anything is wonderful and 5 stars.
Poor quality products, inexperienced tech support, most often not able to help or resolve
Unable to add add-on domain. New site layout sucks for advanced users.
The changes made to the Bluehost portal are more confusing and cumbersome. I do understand that change is inevitable, but please think of your clients and their ease of use with your changes.
My site has gone down pretty much every day since I started using Bluehost. Most of the time it is on the backend, but it has gone down for hours at a time. Your support people give me very confusing and conflicting information about it. But it also goes down on the front end. I have Jetpack that keeps track of it and it shows me that it goes down a LOT.
I can only access my email through cPanel--it won't let me log in through android phone or browser. I spent quite a while with chat assistance yesterday: they "noted" the issue and told me to try later. It still doesn't work and now I'll need to waste more of my time trying to resolve a problem that should have already been taken care of.
I am frustrated with the new backend User Interface, I know the aim was the simplify, but I find the functions so hard to find. Please find a way to bring back all the options (like advanced menu section)
My website quit working, and was only displaying lines of code. I tried multiple times to fix it and have now wiped the whole thing to start over. If the new website doesn't work I will have wasted a lot of money and be forced to take my website elsewhere.
I have not been able to access my webmail for 3 months.
I've been unable to deploy a react static app for multiple days
S-******* - just esalated because of this ticket and all of the past times I keep calling and saying I am begging for help and get none.
Easy to use. No ad pop-up for distraction is very nice.
The people that are supposed to help 2 of the 3 were terrible.
This has been difficult to start a website, and it could just be my lack of experience with websites, but it has just been confusing trying to figure it all out.
The rep is good, just the task of trying to log in of late is a pain
Changes and updates are done on the bluehost account without any prior notice. And some times the support is not technically pro to answer our questions.
Good performance and Perfect support.
Customer service is crap. Not sure how you're one of the top service providers when it's difficult to get help
The first thing on your website which I already pay for is an advertisement. Get rid of advertisement on your website used to service your customers.
I'm still trying to make it work better; it keeps freezing up on me
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.
