I cannot send emails. Problem has existed for quite some time. I am able to receive emails only.
My main domain (https://berthamagazine.com) is in a complete shambles, and not operating properly. My EPS service is not worth the premium I am paying for it. It needs upgrading (the server does), and I do not have the technical expertise to update the cPanel version or the OS to Linux8, and it can't do either because the absence of one blocks the other. If you expect me to update my domain contract for even one year, you'd better straighten this out. I am out of resources to try to manage this myself, and this is not service on a par with my other hosts.
I like this place because I was with register/web.com and they were far too expensive for my needs, I came here mostly to hang onto domain names. I had a website here but you wanted to charge me far too much so that's gone now, basically I just need domain name renewal, and maybe a 1 page static website to show I own the names.
Since the website changed, I have had difficulty finding the DNS records to make changes. This was not a user-friendly change.
Bluehost is OK when compared to other hosting services but lacks in support.
I hate getting the advertising popup every time I log on.
Even though my card is correct, I got a notice saying it was not.
Every time I go to do anything on your site it is a mess. The other day I got an email saying I need to update my credit card, when I went to do it the page was not functioning. Nothing new.
Not so great. I have issue repeatedly, even loosing access to some tools. And issues are NEVER just a one time things... they just keep on repeating repeating again and again... so not great for something I pay almost 400$ per year.
We get locked out of our account frequently. The fix is slow.
I've been with Bluehost a long time, but lately it seems harder to find the answers I need without an hour on the phone. I am also constantly getting a Dangerous Site notice from Chrome.
You let an employee lock me out of my account by invaldidating the account ownership details. Then your resolution staff took multiple days to restore my access. I should've sued your company but instead I'll be leaving after the current prepaid year is complete. I miss Bluehost before Hostgator's $#*!ty investors bought them out and I regret hedging my business' success on Bluehost.
When logging in, its frustrating seeing a cross sale of products telling me my domain is not protected in big letters and then I have to scroll down at the very bottom to continue on
More difficult to log into the site to edit or check emails. Too many steps, including the same upgrade prompt that one needs to scroll down to find the "No Thanks."
Service is hit and miss- no consistency Website has changed due to Bluehost system changes which caused my website to shift. I got the runaround.
Bluehost locked me out of my own paid account for a week, and required over a dozen phone calls to regain access to my account. The absolute worst customer service and provider out there for hosting.
Tech team very kind, personable, trying to help but something is amiss with your system. Bad experience with SiteLock renewal--no notification that my service would be dropped; unable to renew without large monthly payment; spent 3 45 minute sessions on the phone, many emails; told could not be processed, told it was...Why on earth would you sell a three-year program without malware protection?
The support is not very good. Takes times and many are not very competent.
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.
