The dynamic of Bluehost opting to move strictly to Wordpress and not really support anything else is bad. I have been with Bluehost almost 15 years and chose it because it did not favor one platform over another and because the customer service was way above the mark. This is no longer the case. The staff seems like the fallout of people trying to get a job from the COVID era as they barely know the system outside of the "scripts" they are given to repeat things like a parrot instead of being knowledgeable about anything NOT Wordpress. It is so bad that I am looking for a new host AND falling my 36 clients whom I've brought to Bluehost that it's time to switch. The Wordpress bias is irritating, and the customerservice has dropped so much I no longechoose to deal with it.

Chat host helped my through in the end but the whole experience was unnecessary as it seems the bluest "system" changed my user ID randomly which caused a whole lot of unnecessary confusion. Since the "system" changed my ID, it seems (according to my chat host) that the "system" cannot be corrected in house.

You all have the worse service I have ever seen of any kind of business entity I have interacted with throughout my entire adult life. Just count the number of times we have contacted you by phone or through chat.

My website, Lifelinecpa.com, keeps crashing because of server issues. Every time I call you fix it, tell me the issue is resolved, just to have it appear once again the next day. This has happened at least 7 times in the last 2 weeks. When I ask for a solution, the account representative has no clue how it was fixed. It seems like the very representative who blue host clients talk to are not the same as the same people who fix the issue. When I say fix the issue, I meant temporarily. It is a complete shame that I such a huge company permanently resolve an issue for a client that the client has called 20 times about.

The site bluehost.com is not working well.
I login into my account and it takes too long to load or sometimes the "cPanel Email" is not working.

I really enjoyed wordpress many years ago. The new wordpress is turning out to be a steep learning curve.

Bluehost has been a complete pain in the neck to deal with and have tried to kick me out of my legacy account for the past month. I have had to call many times and waste countless hours to have access to my website just because THEY tried to screw me over.

Your new interface buries content that was previously easy to access. Give us the option to revert back.

When I first began with hosting, Bluehost was great and by far my favorite hosting provider. In the past 6 months, however, primarily following the renewal of my hosting plan, the service has drastically worsened.
