Getting used to spending time on the site. It's a much more manageable size for me than the last package.

Updated review

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.

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.

It took me 25 minutes to get the 6 digit security code with all the restrictions. I couldn't find a good code until much later. Very annoying. Everything else good.

I sent a mail that was not delivered and there was no error message to indicate that the mail was not sent. I couldn't tell if it was because the attachment was too large.

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.

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.

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.

FTP Paths Hard to Use
February 23, 2024

Equal to previous provider for less money. Eventually got FTP to work enough to not use Wordpress and do an old school website.
