This place is a joke and customer service is not super helpful.
Your payment update screen doesn't seem to work with safari web browser in private mode!
On Dec 16 a number of my DNS settings were screwed up by bluehost which has caused substantial issues with my clients, who are now threatening to sue me and bluehost.
Not at all what I expected from an industry leader. User interface is kludgy. Changes and support take far too long.
Some things don't appear except in Incognito, and I can't update details even with my correct password because it won't accept the password as correct.
I am trying to renew my account and this has become very frustrating and confusing. I just want to renew! I had auto renew, but my credit card changed and the account could not renew with the old credit card number.
I've liked Bluehost since switching a couple years ago. And with the recent UI updates, the interface is much easier to use, just in the website listing page itself. I'm glad I switched from GoDaddy.
Really bad experience. Nothing goes smoothly. I fond another website host at a great price.
The site is difficult to use. Wordpress is supposed to be free. I can't seem to delete anything. The pages are confusing. I have two bluehost accounts and I'm being charged for both and its impossible to get through the helpline.
Your new interactive platform significantly limits my ability to use the account and you are now hitting me with marketing and promotions when all I want is the service I've paid for. You are starting to look like that absurd platform Godaddy, which is who I left to come here. If you continue downgrading your services whilst trying to upsell, I can easily find a replacement. Please stop this absurd and useless marketing.
The new admin panel lacks options and makes it difficult to add and manage domains
The website builder is very hard to use and not intuitive. I don't like the design at all.
I think the price increase and reduction to service on my plan was unfair and should have at least lasted until the end of my already paid for term I am actively looking for another provider
I don't like the pin requirement and the chat pop-up that took over the screen. You didn't use to have this.
I am extremely happy with Bluehost. It is very easy to create and host my web pages and set up my emails. On the rare occasions when I needed tech support, they were right there with the answer.
Have been without email since yesterday and have had no resolution.
It's always confusing to find my way. Just complicated.
Email is still not working. SMTP server not responding consistently. So, yeah, my rating will get better if I can get my email back on.
I have managed to delete my main website by accident and have no way of getting it back
Having lots of trouble understanding but am getting through it.
I have been with Bluehost since my first website back in 2005. Since then I have had 5 websites in total and Bluehost has been my sole choice of hosting service. However, pricing continues to climb each year with each renewal. I have changed to another reputable hosting company who managed to bring my cost down by half! I had no choice but to switch after all these years.
Thank you for helping achieve my dreams and wishes!
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.
