Login is painful. Resettingt the password was worse. I get 5 tries to remember my password, then I have to wait for a message gthatgmay never come. Then I have to call support. Then that whole dance starts up. Try loggingh into google to sewe the way it can work.
Don't hit me in the face with a damn add that makes me look for the EXIT button as soon as I log in. You have already $#*!ed around with my Apache setup enough that I may never get it sorted.
For a web hosting company, the user interface on the backend is abysmal, counterintuitive and frustrating to use. It's very disappointing and the aesthetically pleasing recent overhaul looks better, but is harder to use.
Not everything is easy to figure out in word press, and it's almost impossible to get good tech support.
Too much changed to even log in, not the same identifier, etc, so took ages to even get into cpanel. This is nuisance when you have to get things done, to waste 1 hour scarmbling to get user codes nd passwords redone
Bluehost deleted my website. Now they say it will take 24-48 hours to have it restored (if even possible).
Its a good platform but when we have challenges that are escalated it takes long to get help and responses
Very unsatisfied with your service. I have problems all the time with this account. Somebody hacked my account and I didn't even get the reimbursement for that. Your customer service is horrible, they are never able to solve anything promptly.
My experience drastically reduced after the technical changes. The site isn't as user friendly.
I am unable to change the number of years for a product renewal in the dashboard
The login experience is truly awful. For weeks, it did not allow me an option to update my existent password so that I could sign in automatically. This had to be done manually, making the sign-in process tedious. Additionally, after logging in I get an ad/offer from Bluehost. Every time. You're kidding, right? I mean, I pay for my service already. In short, streamline the login process and you will have scores more happy customers. Thank you.
I need to transfer a registration to you. But there are no instructions on your site and the email link you sent is ONLY for transferring a registration FROM you. And I couldn't get a live human on your listed help number. AAArrrrggg!
I keep getting emails about a charge for a website which 1, I didn't create and 2, I already removed from my account.
Lots of places to deal with. The design page is OVERWHELMING! It would be nice I could hover my mouse over each item, and have a description of what that link does pop up. That would be SO HELPFUL!
I have not been able to access my account for over two weeks, customer service couldn't help me through three emails and several calls.
Bluehost makes my life simpler, all my sites managed from one area. Also provides a variety of tools necessary for my success. Best customer service in the industry.
You've changed the menu, can't find how to access my email accounts from here like I used to. Manage Email does not show my email accounts.
The experience has been invaluable in the development of my business.
I was presented an offer that was not relevant for me today. When I wanted to skip it, the pointer did not even indicate that this option was clickable, and it took 10-15 seconds until I got any kind of feedback from my click. (I am using Firefox on a Mac, everything up-to-date)
Migrated site from another host January-February and it's been an absolute fiasco. Paid for the migration. The new site went down twice for over 24 hours, vanished, was back and forth for hours with customer service, lost revenue, lost content, lost time. I get different responses from different agents. Someone tells me something is fixed when it's not. Site showed database error for over 24 hours. I call again and the whole process starts over. Even today I had to call again to ask for something to be done again when it was allegedly done over the weekend. The person from the weekend even didn't make the update when they said. My conclusion after all of this is that I made a poor choice and will be looking for another web host.
Lots of trouble figuring stuff out. Help pages are of little use.
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.
