Your service stinks and you make it impossible to transfer a domain out. This is very frustrating that your system can't get it right and support isn't helping after 5 chats in.

Renewal pricing is incorrect
March 2, 2024

Renewal pricing is incorrect. https://www.bluehost.com/pricing clearly indicates Choice Plus renews at $8.99/month. That was not the case when Bluehost sent a renewal reminder indicating a renewal price of $19.99/mo. In addition, there is no clear method to downgrade to a lower plan. Will be migrating to another hosting service, plus notifying the U.S. Department of Justice of the posted incorrect renewal pricing.

I have been a customer for over 10 years. Never had an issue. Then I got hacked. I contacted Bluehost and explained what happened and the escalated the issue and sauid I would hear back in a couple days. Since then, I've had nothing but issues. My domains don't renew and my website is currently down. I've spent hours on the phone with customer service. I've spent hours chatting with customer service and nothing has been resolved. They always say the same thing. "I will escalate this issue and someone will be in touch."

Every time I open my bluehost web hosting portal on my Mac mini with a 24' screen the chat box opens immediately and blocks access to the personal account profile box in upper right of screen. Can you please correct this! Frustrating not to be able to have access to my personal profile.

One star for a couple reasons: (1) you make me click through a page trying to get me to upgrade every time I log in instead of letting my go straight to Control Panel (where I'm trying to go) (2) you keep showing me pop-up surveys even though I've clicked "not interested' multiple times. Try to focus on the customer - not on your marketing needs.

I find this platform to be more torture than help. I've never found an online space to be so difficult to access and navigate.

Hard to unsubscribe from auto renewal. Even if selected in account settings have to manually contact Bluehost as you are charged anyway.
