Using the Channel to reinstate my SSL certificate proved be very hard and confusing. I don't like the upscale for security every time I login.
One of the automatic updates created an error that made my site unreadable. I reached out to tech support and spent an hour chatting with them, they said they would call me on Thursday or Friday of last week. I waited over 12 hours for a phone call that never came and now I have to come back to trouble shoot again and the issue is still not resolved.
I have had a very difficult time getting my email set up.
Having a lot of difficulty getting my website files to transfer. Not happening as link provided in email says it should work.
I have been having problems with my account for months. One of my sites doesn't even work and I've grown tired of asking for you all to fix it.
Very difficult login with new system not always working
Bluehost has not been able to provide the services I pay thousands for. My new domain purchase does not work and customer service just gives me a runaround. My sites get hacked - and once even destroyed by a tech support worker who erased my website! I deeply regret choosing bluehost and the years I have worked with this company.
For some reason my IP was blocked from access so I couldn't get into my account. The people that helped me were great but there was no explanation why it happened. It's pretty frustrating with a new account just started in Nov 2023.
I miss having more options, especially about domains
The page where I login seems to change frequently. Makes it difficult to sign in.
I have written my blog for over a year and I'm still thrilled with each post.
I continue to have issues that aren't discovered until I check my website. Several of the issues are recurring despite getting them resolved on two days in a row.
This made starting my blog affordable while getting a quality website!
Even though I repeatedly set all my sites to auto-renew with domain privacy, somehow the settings keep getting changed not to auto-renew and without domain privacy. Some kind of glitch. Otherwise the service is good.
The support from Bluehost has been one of the worst experiences I have ever had in my 15 years of working in technology. Wrong answers, support personal who don't know the answer and unwilling ness to understand urgency.
Been having quite a few issues logging in lately. Seems to be getting better
I'm still learning but with videos, tutorials and Bluehost help site, I've been able to accomplish a lot more than when I started.
Very painful customer service or trying to get anything done correctly
It's hard to set up my emails on my MAC. Also, sometimes the web emails are hard to see.
Horrible service. It's that simple. You're poor customer service resulted in a customer's website being down for 5DAYS! That is totally unacceptable.
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.
