Support is unresponsive - when my site was ready and reviewed and sent changes and only half were completed. I sent the uncomplete ones back twice, first time no response and second time I was told by my Account Manager to log in and request a change. I am disappointed the changes I sent were not and still are not complete after emails and phone calls with Ryan.
This site sucks! It has been nothing but a HUGE pain for hosting and WordPress is a JOKE. Use something else
My experience has, sadly, been awful. After not being able to install Wordpress for a second site (this problem was escalated 3 times), I gave up and requested that my plan go back to the basic plan. I just upgraded and renewed service in November 2023, paying over $300, so I could add the second site. This person then mistakenly, deleted my entire hosting account causing me to lose my primary website, thus totally crashing my business. Then I was told that I could only get my website back if I bought a new hosting plan. (Even though I had just paid for a 3 year renewal). I had no choice and bought it. Now, I have been waiting a week for my primary website to be restored. I hate leaving bad reviews, but this has truly truly been just an awful experience.
I love Bluehost and how easy they make it to create additional sites, manage, and integrate. The only challenge I have ever had was easily reaching tech support. That said, Bluehost has been efficient in updating their outgoing message regarding any major platform issues.
The old way to assign domain names with outside registrars was much better and allowed for much more flexibility. I wish it was still an option.
This new layout is confusing and it now says I have zero billing history?
Stop trying to sell me something with a full page ad when I log into my account.
I am trying to set up my website and it's not easy like the Wordpress website. Maybe I am just not familiar
Hard to navigate website creation tools. Not intuitive.
My plan was unlimited for years and suddenly the pay structure changed. I had lots of websites, email accounts, databases, and files uploaded and had to either pay an unreasonable amount of money or switch providers. I opted to switch providers. It seems Bluehost does not value its loyal customers. The "offer" that was presented had a short window of opportunity as well as it wasn't a viable option for someone who has been building websites on the platform since 2008. Also since things were converted my billing history has been wiped.
Great hosting site! I would choose it again if I had the choice!
I have no wordpress experience and only code custom HTML and this is an easy, quick way to give a client a website.
The site keeps changing, and it keeps getting harder to do simple management chores (but much easier to sign up for unwanted services). I want to do a simple, temporary redirect of a new domain. Once it was easy. Today I have spent over one hour trying to find the magic page. I am sure that once I am there, it will again seem easy. But the net effect to me is that you have cost me more than one hour of my precious time.
I log in to take of things and first thing I need to do is dismiss upsell ads. I do not need popups, I want to take care of my site. If I want to add features then put them as a banner of the hosting or put a click here somewhere that I might notice it but do not block the work I have to get done. I pay you so I can get work done, Not so I waste time with ads to pay you more.
My experience as a novice user has been enjoyable.
Quite frankly Bluehost is ramping up its push - that is forcing you to spend more on hosting. It's not appreciated definitely makes me look around at your competition.
The webpage was erased, then you were asking me to pay in order to take malware out of some files. But all of the situation is suspicious.
Email is failing as we are being called spam. Sucks.
I have enjoyed the ease of access and the possibility of creating 3 distinct websites with the current plan I am using.
Someone logged in to my account, stole my information. Your website is not secure
Bad service! I am unable to login to my website! The help centre couldnt able to assist me!
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.
