It was hard getting all of my site transferred and migrated properly. The general help line wasnt much help. When finally reaching the right person it was smooth, but that took some effort. All is well now.
I have had a ton of issues with this hosting site and anm unable to edit or change my website. I also get warnings constantly that the site will be shut down due to failed payment but im paid through 12/2026?! Very unimpressed!
It is easy to access help through Bluehost and their products and are easy to review and renew. When. Need help with WordPress, there is a very friendly, and effective consultative service which has helped me many times and I would highly recommend. Any time I've had problems with running my website, they have been easily accessible and supportive and answered all my questions.
Your customer service has been nothing but disappointing, frustrating, and downright demeaning over the last month. I've lost count the number of times that I had to reach out for support and to follow up on numerous occasions because the promises made were not fulfilled. Please do not promise to email in 24-48 hours if you don't actually plan to do so. Bluehost deleted settings with my site without authorization, they lied to me about not being able to reinstate those settings, they put me off for a number of days, lied again, and then miraculously fixed it. I'm not happy about taking my 10+ years of service elsewhere, but you've left me no choice. I have ZERO trust in your services and that you care about your customers.
1. I got into a 3-year contract when subdomains where still part of my package. You changed it unilaterally. That's not a trustworthy way of doing business.
2. Some of the times I needed help, the support was trying to get me off the chat/call as fast as possible, and/or where giving me the wrong (outdated) information. I didn't feel helped, I felt constantly sold-to, and on one occasion my webpage even got re-set to a different framework.
The customer service experience today has been terrible. Repeated attempts to contact someone either via phone or chat. I have not yet made contact with a human. The chat box opened, but there was nobody to chat with. Then I was told I would get a call back in 32 minutes. That was more than an hour ago.
I was locked out of my account for a few weeks and the response time on emails from the team that was to help me didnt provide any reason or details. Very disappointed. Good thing my website was just beginning to be built or who knows how much money I would have lost.
Super easy to use in setting up a website. Any questions I had, customer service was able to provide help quickly. Very satisfied with service, and continue to receive compliments on look of our website!
I know change always has issues. But since latest changes I can no longer use Firefox to login. And also, more clicks to get to my directory. Seems less user friendly. And an advertising page I could do without.
I'm working on a blog website for my sister. I have over 50 years of experience in computer programming and I maintain a code-heavy ASP.NET website. I have found the whole process with her blog incredibly confusing and difficult. She would have no hope doing it for herself. I don't understand how non-programmers can possibly configure a blog.
I'm still trying to figure out the site and having some trouble with the WordPress end. I'm working through some tutorials, but part of it is just the "figuring it out" isn't quite as intuitive as I'd hoped it would be. There are a lot of boxes when I click onto Wordpress - it's overwhelming and I'm not sure which ones I need to pay attention to first and which ones are "extra" ones that can wait until I get things up and running. I want the freedom to work through it and customize it, but I need a little more clarity in how to do that. (There's probably a user guide somewhere I just haven't found!)
This website has caused me nothing but trouble so far, and after hearing such great reviews, I am very disappointed so far. My latest problem now is not being able to access Word Press to work on my website.
Overall service is good, but your design/tech team approach has some glaring problems. From the client side...
1. I have a hearing deficiency and the non-english accents often makes it impossible to converse.
2. The skill level runs the gamut, exceptional to fair.
3. And lastly, the 1/2 hour hand-off policy make problem solving sometimes seem like I'm playing wack-a-mole. Wm. Current / JuliusMoessel.com
I don't like being bullied into "protecting my privacy". That should be a given when I provide personal and confidential privacy as a requirement of signing up to host a website.
I have also experienced numerous problems with my website loading. This seems to be an ongoing problem.
As a fairly novice web site designer / publisher the site is high end but approachable and customer service is excellent.
I recently deleted a page by mistake and their live chat agent helped me fix the problem very easily.
Unfortunately, for the second time, Ive had issues promoting some changes from the staging environment. Spent the past three days on and off chat trying to sort it out. Seems to me that the staging solution is not stable.
I've been using bluehost since 2017, and the most recent redesign of your website is awful. I haven't found anything about the changes that I can comment on positively. You seem to have taken a 'hard sell' approach, while throwing current customers to the wolves. The site has become harder to use, takes longer to find what I need, takes more clicks to get where I need, doesn't render well on screen, and often throws errors. It's all Cons and no Pros. If you're looking for a webhost, I don't recommend this one.
It's a bit unclear what the steps are for migrating... It would be VERY helpful to have those steps outlined on the migration page and then on each email we get. You are at Step 2... do this, the next step is Step 3. I have not received an email telling me what the steps are for DNS changes to make my site live, not sure if I'm supposed to wait or do something.
It's been one problem after another. I should of had this website up the way it's supposed to be months ago. I have a lot more content for it but have been stuck on making the opt in box work. I talked to Aweber twice and added the records, I think I have the wrong form now and am trying to figure out how to change it.
The spam filters are not working. I am getting hammered with a specific type of space and am having to manually enter the sender's email in the blacklist. The filter should have figured out by know which of these emails are junk.
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.
