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.

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.

Chat takes too long and they disconnect you if you have to step away. They can go away, smoke a cigarette or take a leak, but if we do it we get disconnected.

Very unhappy with how Bluehost has mixed up my accounts and placed my prime account under a hosted account at random!

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.

After 2 years of great service..
March 4, 2024

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.

Aside from being charged twice for renewal of the service I do not need and without any option of downgrading my hosting package...and ridiculous support...

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.

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
March 4, 2024

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.
