Stop marketing to me when I log in. I've see your ad every time. I'm not interested! I'm already a customer. Let me accomplish what I need to on my existing domain.
Bluehost Web Builder will not load in my browser. I have been unable to edit my web site for over two weeks. VERY frustrated!
Constant problems from the start from website down for 2 days to emails not working for 2 weeks. I'll reserve comment for now.
Very reliable except for 1 time when an update to WP was done and I lost my website - it was restored very quickly
You seem to prefer new customers over returning ones (giving them 80% off and 0% off for renewals)
You charge me twice for renewing monthly once, and when I try to connect to support it takes much longer than the time posted. Still not connected.
You support via chat is the most annoying and irritating support i have endured. Constant dings. Bad use of auto bot or ai attendants asking the same questions over and over again. And then when i hit support I have to explain myself countless times. Not to mention the authentication gauntlet.
I transfered my domain jtbdiscgolf.com over a week ago and tried support 5 times with no resolution.
The performance, even for a newly launched WordPress site with only a few plugins, is quite slow.
Clean interface, easy UX, and customer service was awesome in helping me fix my site when I accidentally broke it :)
I bought domains 15 day before and it is not work so I was deceived for your services any way I lost it and I will leaves it thanks for poor services

You suck and its frustrating everytime I have to try to log in
The connection of my Bluehost domain to my websites has been a bit rough. But your guys seem to be able to fix it, mostly
I don't think it has to do w/ wp or bh- my computer is constantly shutting down ie error messages as I try to look at Astra themes. Not sure what's going on.
I am asking already for more then 24 hours for a backup. Each time you guys tell me it is in progress. How difficult is it to put back a site of 300 mb? We are a running business. Most hosting companies have these things by default. I
Don't like everything doesn't work properly. Your support sucks. And there are no controls to manage different things like moving a domain.
It took me two months to get my email changed. Dozens of contacts, dozens of customer service agents, supervisors and email and phone calls. Yet, when I requested that my domain be canceled it was done IMMEDIATELY and seems it cannot be reinstated. I have waited additional weeks for contact on the status of that. HORRIBLE
I log in and can't find my renewal center anymore, there is a button offering setup but I would hate to find I had brouight my server back to a basic state if I pushed it.
Popping up advertising on a paid subscription is confusing and hurts trust
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.
