I have had a tremendous headache trying to add a subdomain. It used to be sooooo easy, but now is a big headache.
Getting used to spending time on the site. It's a much more manageable size for me than the last package.
The service has been reliable over the years. It is also reasonably priced, and the website editor is pretty easy to figure out. Technical support rep's have also been skilled at resolving any issues. I just wish there was a better discount for purchasing multiple years at a time.
The tech support rep figured out why the login button was not working.
I paid for services when I signed up and didnt get the access I paid for. I then tried to fix it and didnt get the discount offered upon sign up. I then paid to get help building a website and the woman was not knowledgable beyond reading a script and that was over $150. The service has not been worth the money so far.
I don't like being solicited a protection plan everytime I sign in to my website.
I have had more trouble getting this setup and using the email and keeping it working than I probably ever have had with a service. I will soon be finding a different provider. Although your customer service professionals are helpful and knowledgeable, the actual "product" seems to be extremely unreliable and weak.
This platform is difficult to navigate for a newbie. Customer service is unresponsive and tells me "its not their department" everytime I ask for help. All the plugins AND extras and not enough informed service people to answer questions regarding usage.
The customer service is hit or miss with more misses than helpful. My setup is a little weird going through EZOIC for my DNS, but we've had login issues quite often with my editors. I don't like the new ad screen I get every time I login, and would like an easier user experience. When I login, I just want to update my site.
Customer service reps aren't very knowledgeable. I got three different answers from three different people on a topic I was inquiring about, both by chat and phone.
I had several domains on this server and they were blocked and I don't know why and my work stopped (aldlym.com) (altamooh.com)
All works as it should with no fuss, I have been a happy client for 20 years!
The customer support has been such a headache, it's unbelievable how you're still in business. Your services are confusing, login has always been unclear and complicated. The whole Bluehost has been a big uncomplrehensive flawed service business. Please simplify and get properly trained staff in your customer support department.
This is a scam. After 3 months I gained 200 lost 156
I FIND YOUR SERVICE TO BE QUITE POOR. You take significant fees for a paid weebly service and then relegate it to the bottom of the Hosting page and prioritise wordpress. You force people logging into their accounts to go through a sales page to get to their control panel. My sites using weebly constantly return 403 errors.
Equal to previous provider for less money. Eventually got FTP to work enough to not use Wordpress and do an old school website.
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.
