I can't create an account without purchasing a domain or hosting plan. I want to transfer in a domain to a new account, but I cannot because of this.
Easy to find products/services, but not what they are costing.
I $#*!ing hate the interface change you made! Why the hell you change the way I log in?
I never changed it and had to waste like 10 minutes recovering everything. You SUCK!
I am having several dificulties. I cants see my site in google, what i can see there is previously deleted site
Not impressed. I've had numerous issues and my site has gone down multiple times, each time resulting in me having to contact support multiple times to try and get the issue sorted, even after being advised the issue was fixed. I never had issues with my previous host. My images are suddenly taking forever to upload. Another issue I never had with previous host..
This is the worst group I've ever dealt with. Poor customer service, no communication amd no results
I tried connecting my domain to Square, but it overrode my website, so I reverted changes, and since then my website has been down. Live Chat has seemed to identify the issue but so far it hasn't been picked.
Massive problems because I'm a webmaster and your support people linked this account with a customer's account. Still can't get that fixes-?
I want a simple website but can't seem to get it done.
Not as easy to set up as some would make you think
I seem to have a hard time finding the link for in-depth training/intro.
Have been trying to renew my site for over one month,,,,,and can not get a call back...and your site refuses to process mynew card
Chat always logs out when I'm trying to get an answer
The Site works well, However, there have been a number of Technical issues with the Hosting site which, as a complete beginner in building a Website cause me confusion and self doubt by thinking I was the one making mistakes and missing 'obvious' choices due to my lack of technological experience!
This has been a huge learning curve for me, but getting there.
For some reason I can't log into my account - I get another account that has my details but I can't do anything with it - how does that work? When I spoke to someone on chat, THEY could access my account, yet I still can't. They were using the user ID which I was initially given, but that doesn't allow me to log in. So when I ask for my user ID, the email tells me that it's my blog domain. Am incredibly frustrated and would appreciate proper help.
I was recommended to bluehost by my developer about 7 years ago and it was a good company but they must have sold or changed management or values two years ago. This has been the worst experience ever. It just doesn't make sense how bad tech support became. I don't know, but it is as if they moved the company to a new country or new dimension. I don't know what happened. Last year - I could't get basic wordpress templates to work - it was amazing. Multiple templates from different vendors.
I am trying to leave the company and purchased a host gator account. My sites have been down three times since January first.
Stay Away
I am really struggling to understand how to use everything. It doesn't feel very user friendly to anyone new to creating their own website
I still do not have my site running. I was led to believe a simple site was "easy" and could be up in 30 minutes. It has been weeks, and I am miserable.
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.
