Updated review

I have not been liking the service for the past year. I have been with the company for years and it appears there have been organizational changes and I am not happy with them.

My site has been doing down a lot and I have not been able to get into my portal without calling customer service. I have many domains with Bluehost and I do not like not being able to login when I need to.

Seems Bluehost is made for only WordPress websites.
If you are planning to deploy node/angular/php/reactjs
No one supports you at all because there is no expertise.
Also, please don't purchase a 6-month / 1-year package because you will not get any money back if support is not good.

Below are problems I faced recently
1. Centos7 does not support node18
2. I purchased a managed service hosting plan but
The team doesn't know about server configuration,
They just provided me with centos7
3. Support is very weak.
4. There is no proper channel for communication.
5. you can not escalate any issue with hire management.

Confusing and I'm feeling a little lost. More and more keeps adding on to my cost and I'm frustrated

2FA should have an option to "remember this device and bypass MFA next time" (first star off)
First page has promotion and I have to click another small link to get where I want - the big link is to upsell (second start off)

The servers are generally fast
January 11, 2024

The servers are generally fast. I'm having problems with DNS setup. The site runs on a temporary domain. It also works on non-temporary domains. But the installation does not complete. I think it's been over 72 hours. The WordPress sites I installed from Softcolous do not appear in the hosting accounts. Apart from that, Bluehost looks good right now in terms of price and performance

Since July 2022, I continuously have problems with my sites going down and it always ends up being a problem with hosting. Sometimes the agents on the phone help, but sometimes the agents make it worse.

It has been one full month since migration of my three (3) websites began. Numerous requests for support have been submitted through Chat, In writing and by phone. The vast majority of these requests have been frustrating and unsuccessful. I have also experienced "Mysterious" disappearances of databases, security ID's and websites.

Continued upsells make the Bluehost experience downright tedious and at times frustrating. Less-knowledgeable users get bamboozled into things they do not need.

BlueHost was my go to hosting service for myself and my customers, but lately support is non-existent, and the products don't work, i.e. Waiting nearly a month for a WordPress install.

Bluehost has been changing and I dont like it, blocked my use of weebly, which is the whole reason I signed up in the first place. Now charging me twice for the same domain calling it hosting costs for each domain? Now I have to call bluehost AGAIN and spend 2 hrs of my time trying to figure out why.

Most disappointing

Most disappointing. Nothing appears to work. No help forthcoming. Cannot manage my emails. Webmail does not recognise one or more email passwords. It does not recognise our registered email.
