Admin staff haven't fixed the issue with my website yet, after an awful lot of attemps to ask them to fix it for me.
You have moved from the best to below the worst hosting provider ever. Every week I have to restore my website from a manual backup and your support team are clueless as to what the problem is. They are never able to resolve any of my issues. Your system has gone from great to below terrible.
A total Novice here. Dashboard can be a little bit more intuitive for novice users. However it is very easy to use once you get some experience.
Everything is going well. It's just taking longer than ai anticipated.
Bit difficult for the 40 years mother :) but great otherwise
I wish there a guide on the screen that guides me through the customize and edits. I am a super beginner. Just a suggestion.
Delay not good customer service reply time is too much
Experienced not good regarding commitment.
Advertising site security upsell like youtube asking you every time you log in if you want to upgrade to youtube premium. Also, it doesn't look like you can even cancel that upgrade, once triggered... except by technical support
Managing Word Press on this platform is not as easy as my previous platform.
We're from Vietnam and we cannot access bluehost.com unless we have to use VPN.
User interface is so hard to use. Cannot access Cpanel directly, we have to use CPanel through WHM.
We've been your customer for more than 10 years and we're so disapointed.
Had a bit of confusion at renewal time as it coincided with a significant update to how Bluehost worked. Managed to get the problems worked out with assistance from Bluehost and am adapting nicely to the upgrade.
I had an appt for someone to call me and help me set it up and they never called. I am going to attempt it by myself
Usually tech support is pretty good & answers calls promptly. However, on 2/16/24, Ryan said i had forggotten to do one thing with site migration from AWS to Bluehost & it would fix it and he would get back to me. I never got a follow up from him. I ended calling back in the afternoon and got answers from Michelle.
For years I had no problem. Then I found out I was being charged to back up, but it wasn't backing anything up. It also became impossible getting into my account. I would have to keep changing the password. I can no longer check it on my phone. I also found out I was charged for a domain name i didn't want. I have taken my website down and will no longer use or recommend Bluehost.
I cannot stand the bell noise your website makes.
I don't believe your advertised speed are what they say they are
I log on and immediately feel that the company aren't satisfied with my business, and only want to take/make more money.
Am losing faith in over marketed hosting companies.
You changed my account login and locked me out of my account for two weeks. You never told me about it. I host many websites for my clients on your platform and pay you a lot of money. This is unacceptable.
Can ever figure out how to get a new domain setup so the page works. This new layout is harder to navigate than the old Cpanel
You changed the terms and account without telling me... I had unlimited websites but now you reduced everything to 3 sites
It is not as user friendly as I had hoped? I'm going to try the tech support again. The first woman to which I spoke was helpful getting me started.
I have been waiting for over 6 weeks on 4 outstanding tickets that continue to be ignored.
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.
