Charging $20 for park domain hurts. I don't like how Bluehost renews hosting at higher price and then I have to get help to bring cost down every year. Your introduction hosting is so cheap for new customers. What about your loyal customers who have been with you for years.
Bluehost editor was removed now and its screwing output of our website bring back bluehost website builder/editor
I have allready moved my bluehost account to a new bluehost account in order to have an acceptable monthly price, according to the offer when i signed up. The renew price for the basic hosting is $3.99 but it has, like last time with the old account, suddenly trippled. After talking with support they tried to go somewhat closer to that legitimately signed up price but trying to explain wild things before following what is just right. That fraudulent price manipulation attempts break it all, nevertheless the service works well.
There isn't an easy way to downgrade hosting plan.
Customer Service has not been great in the last couple years.
Reliability and customer service is the worst. Tech support is not knowledgeable, was misinforming us routinely, took us 2 weeks to get back online after their screwup.
I have not received my refund it has been more than one month you have refused to give me back my money yet you cancelled my plan because your email was not working so i would not recommend this service to anyone bluehost
After 2 years of great service. Today I found out that my 2 of my websites are down. Also, they are missing from your Hosting section of your hosting panel. It looks like it mysteriously disappeared. I did not remove them. I am on the phone with one of your techs, and they are unsure as well. The site's files are there, they are just not registered in your control panel. Looks like some type of server glitch on your end. I am sure other clients will be calling/email about this problem as well.
Shared hosting very slow and from time to time website is down
Many attempts in sept to get help simply how to access live website building support, which i paid over $250 for one month and your records will show i never ONCE was able to access one call, even one second of help, this was back in sept or early oct... i also tried asking for help hiring someone with BH to design my site and didn't get feedback and i just now spent over 20 min detailing the issues, hoping i would get it resolved, frankly, hoping to still be sold on hiring someone to build my site, then the chat closed down...
I have had to be on customer service all day. I was told I had change hosting plans and instead of you just restructuring your pricing, I am having to download all of my files and reupload them. This is a huge pain and my website have been down for hours.
24hr tech support via chat, telephone calls & email plus the helpful bundled integrated tools, and security are my fav BlueHost likes
I hate the nickle and diming I feel like Bluehost has been doing especially since the unlimited websites has been taken away. I feel that given the cost domain protection should be automatic, not an addon.
I had a chat and it got me nowhere. The same questions were asked that I had answered and it seemed like I was not speaking to a person but rather AI. I have still not resolved why I spent probably 15 hours trying to create a website and theme is not recognized.
Smarmy sales, promo. Dishonest.
I've been a customer for 8 years. You used to be good. I knew things changed when you opted me into a multi year product enhancement during the pandemic when I was not drawing revenue and charged me for it.
100% of our interactions are you trying to upsell me.
I will dump you a.s.a.p.
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.
