It's more complicated than I thought it would be, but the customer service is pretty good.
Very poor support, I had the same issue with htaccess issues over 10 CSR encounters with Bluehost over less days, they came up with 5 different solutions, all that had nothing to do with the issue.
I requested 2nd level support 3 times, I never got contacted for it.
I finally gave up and spent the time to fix the issue myself.
It was great having phone support to go started on the process.
I've have tried many times to get my website back online but still it has not happened.
There are times that folks don't understand what I need, nor my customers
New system is not cs friendly! Prefer previous version more intuitive
An excellent hosting site! Customer service was awesome and the live agents were delightful to speak with.
I have not been receiving email from my website for three or four days now and tech support has NOT resolved the issue.
Bluehost is good overall, but site stability is lacking. I receive notifications all the time that the site is down. On top of that, I'm concerned that when my account is up for renewal I will see a significant cost increase and be forced to leave to another provider.
I am firing bluehost for their escalated price increases, regularly. I am struggling to get hold of customer service to get my money refunded for the 3 months I ordered of service, while my webmaster was changing my site to another much more affordable hosting company. Furthermore, back in August '23 when I received the new 3-year price with an increase, I spoke with and have an email from customer service that it was agreed that the price would reduce from some $575/3 years down to $402 for 3 years. In December '23, I received a typical automated reminder-to-renew email showing the full price again. After some 15 or so years, I am DONE with bluehost.
It's been good so far, only minor issues but nothing to worry about or talk about really.
Your domain has caused my company's mail exchange to break down without us noticing. Now we cannot even easily fix it.
The website is always complicated to navigate - I always seem to end in a place I wasn't trying to get to, and it takes forever to find the right location. I also wanted to print out my invoices from 2023 for my taxes, but it only shows one for the whole year. We had to dig through my emails to find receipts.
Very poor UI and editing procedure as compared to Godaddy.com which is super easy
NO clarity, no transparency, bait and switch practices, terrible customer service.
The first year is all included. Then you have to pay for everything separately. The emails always are in spam. The protection of the web page is really bad... I am looking forward to end my contract.
Not happy at all.
You should put a simple easy to see button to simply edit your page. It is confusing as where to go. I keep getting lost everytime I try to access my page to edit.
The people in customer care do not read the conversation correctly. Im trying to get outofmilk.ie up and running and there sending me chats regarding onitsway.ie
Very disappointed to find out that both my sites have been deleted.
My site has been very slow since your recent changes and a real pain to authenticate.
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.
