Absolutely awful tech support if something actually goes wrong. I had multiple issues for years and you can never get direct access to help. You start back at the beginning every time with a new agent (who really doesn't believe you).
Navigation is not intuitive at all. When I call in with issues that the site is down, I get mysterious resolutions with no explanation for root cause, so the problem recurs and I have no clue.
Bluehost has been a great platform for our website. Any issues we've had, which have been minor, have been fixed quickly and efficiently!
Trying to do blog and podcast so not sure if this site is right for me.
Service could be massively better both front and back offices
Upon entering my account, there was a request to look at E-commerce, I clicked several times and nothing happened.
Can't get the website to function on my mobile device
Site mostly easy to navigate in the past. Using it again for 1st time now
I have tried to get you to fix the same issue 6 times, and nothing ever gets fixed. Now on attempt #7.
I've had chronic issues with my certificates, with accessing my WP websites, and with reinstalling the websites after I removed them. Support agents are always polite, but they seem to be working off exactly the same script. In fact, they don't seem human.
Aside from the minor website maintenance that has rarely happened at night while working, this has been a great service. The website maintenance is completely understandable anyway.
It seems I can never get to my file manager to update my website. I don't like your new design.
Deleted a hosted website and said would look into it and never did.
Database issues for 48hours
Email issues for 48 hours
I can no longer sign on to my email account from my desktop. I am blocked from sending emails to an email address that I was able to send in the past. I do not get good results from chat and you do nor permit phone support. I am very dissatisfied.
I am on here for the 4th time in less than a month because my emails are being blocked by Spamhaus. The first round took me 4 days with out email to get a tech that was able to fix the problem. I am VERY unhappy with the service I am getting from Bluehost these days.
I have struggled a bit with putting my website together. Some things are not as intuitive as I would like to see and I get frustrated with having to keep buying services to improve the website. I guess its the cost of doing business.
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.
