Not user friendly. Can't figure out how to use this platform or why it's relevant to my word press and also word press is a mess
Blue Host is hell bent on collecting money while not providing the services promised. My website had been nonfunctional for most of the time I've been paying for their services, They created so many problems on the back end that should never have been an issue in the first place. Even getting my social media accounts suspended because the website was faulty. Costing me thousands in unusable print materials. The chat support is a joke where they try their best to make you wait as long as possible. For two weeks they gave me the run around saying they fixed something when they didn't, then telling me it takes 24 to 48 hours to see the results. They told me this 3 times just to get me off the chat without fixing the issue. When I finally got a competent employee he fixed the issue in 4 minutes. If the professional on the chat doesn't know something let me know and find me someone who does, don't waste my time because you are afraid someone will find out you cannot do your job.
Customer service responds 4-5 minutes, between each response
An hour later, he ends the conversation to no avail
This did not happen First time, as I have been dealing with them for years.
Creating a website through Wordpress is a nightmare. No additional help being provided to sort out the glitches. The annual plan is of no use since I am unable to utilize any of the website features.
Customer service could be better educated on the technical side of things.
Waiting in a chat...estimated time "less than a minute" been waiting for several minutes...would like a realistic wait time
I just need to change my payment method but there are 11 accounts NOT just 1 to change...HELP!
6-digit pin, no repeats, no sequential. Give me a break.
So far it is not bad, sometimes i do not understand certain things but support is ready to help.
Bluehost is, by far, the absolute worst company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. The customer support is non-existent, and the technical support is incompetent and rude. I would leave this company in an instant if I could get my money back. At this point, I am working on legal action with my attorney because this is beyond bad.
I've been hosting with Bluehost for 5 years, the customer service is always amazing. However, at times the interface can be slow and unresponsive
I called yesterday and the customer service rep told me I would receive an email with answers in a half hour. Next day, and I've still heard nothing and my website is still down.
I really appreciate all of the support the IT team has been able to provide for me, being a website owner with little tech experience it has been invaluable.
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.
