Chat agents take too long and don't know what's happening
Interface too cluttered. You should be able to go directly to the control panel.
It's not possible to change the primary domain from the cPanel or from anywhere, and this is frustrating since I wanted to remove my previous domain and add a new one.
When I first purchased my hosting plan on Bluehost, it took 1 month for your customer support service to resolved an issue I had with my website. As a result I experienced almost 1 month of downtime on my website, resulting in loosing way too many money.
Website keeps going offline and the only support offered my plan is chat, which is often not helpful.
I'm not sure what happened with Billing, but that almost gave me a heart attack. I'm glad my card had expired so that I wasn't charged all those fees. I don't know why they were added on, but it was resolved.
So far so good. Haven't experienced any success (yet)
Access to menus are scattered over multiple screens. Help documents are depicting outdated screens.
The new menu is a little confusing and a little slow to navigate.
I keep getting a popup to Create a PIN. Problem is that I have tried it several times and each time it says ' Sorry, some error, try again later". It's annoying either fix it or get rid of it.
Requiring a unique 6 digit pin is wildly inconvenient and insecure. I never use this for anything and have to store it somewhere where it might be compromised. Two factor is much better and should be available as an option.
My service was cancelled and my website made inactive that relates to me denial of service.
The help tabs are not matching up with the possible update on the site. Cant edit the DNS for emailing
Overall, very happy with hosting, but have needed to use support twice to get my website accessible
Just tried finding what my renewals would cost - been searching for 5 minutes and still have not found the price except for in the email warning. The Bluehost site has NEVER been intuitive and could really use some cleaning up
I have had A LOT OF ISSUES in 2023 and now in 2024 with my sites going down with INTERNAL SERVER ERROR messages. This is not the norm for Bluehost and I am very disappointed.
Took away secure two-factor authentication for website admin login. Also taking away unlimited storage when I've had it over a decade.
Reliability, availability and customer service response time is excellent.
Our website and webshop was down for 2 weeks due to Bluehost and no compensation has been offered.
It's hard to find things I know I ought to be able to do.
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.
