I need the google authentication app for the security of my account again.
I'm still waiting for help on a SIMPLE set up of Wordpress. If I did it manually, it usually takes 5 minutes. The system is so screwed up, it's be elevated for support and it's now been two days. Absolutely horrible.
Your website is so unbelievably bad. Buttons don't work, painfully slow. Stupid security pin won't save. Completely broken on mobile.
So easy from doing things on my own, following tutorials, and when I get stuck, customer service has been excellent and more importantly non-judgemental!
Shocking service trying to transfer a domain away to IONOS. Over a week later and it is still not done. I initiated a transfer today for another domain via 123-Reg and it has already been transferred (less than 4 hours)!
I've been with BH for almost 20 years and they just keep getting worse. The bigger they get the worse the hosting web based tools are. The poor support staff must be loosing their marbles.
I am having to talk to different people all the time it's very difficult to track my progress with getting my site built and modifications. Spoke to 8 people in two weeks for the same thing. Complete nightmare..
Awful, waiting 10 days for an issue with not being able to add an add on domain. After 12 years with bluehost i am SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING CANCELLING
The change in c=panel has markedly degraded my ability to work on my website. I fully plan on changing to another host when this is up
How do I edit my website in Weebly - you've changed things
Not usr friendly for me to delete messages etc. when clicked on to explore items.
You guys have terrible customer service and problems are never fixed.
Tech support sucks. On hold for hours, chat is non-existent. When I switched to BH I was assured I would be able to get tech support. I wish I had chosen another hosting company.
Everything seemed fine, my website was a bit slow, but I lived with it. Then suddenly I wasn't able to access the dashboard and I called tech and they said they would get it resolved. They never did.
Then I was charged the $300+ for the annual renewal. I called again to say I don't want this renewed, please refund me. The agent said you're past the refund date (by a few days). I said, I haven't been able to access my site for over a month! If you're a decent organization you will refund my money and cancel my account. I was told "no".
I then called my bank to dispute. Over a month went by and the resolution was that the company said I didn't cancel in time and so I was not refunded. Meanwhile: no site and still out over $300.
You would think that in this day and age where customers are central to a company's success, and given the situation where I was unable to access my account before and after the annual renewal, that someone in customer retention would do the right thing. So, I'm left with doing my right thing--which is to warn anyone who might be considering signing up to this company to reconsider based on my horrible experience.
It is very expensive in comparison to all other service providers.
I keep getting invoices for services I've already paid for and services I don't need or want. It's annoying.
Exercise caution with Bluehost. My account was compromised, leading to the unauthorized registration of a domain under my name. The concerning part is that I only discovered this when reviewing my account. Shockingly, there has been no proactive identification of the fraud by anyone on the Bluehost team, nor have they attempted to contact me about the issue.
Despite my efforts to reach out through phone, chat, and email, I have been waiting for resolution for three days now, with no personal responses or calls to address the situation, provide a refund, or remove the unknown domain from my account. Based on this experience, I strongly advise against using Bluehost for your hosting needs.
I don't appreciate the pop-ups asking for a PIN, nor did I like the attempt to up-sale me at the time of the renewal checkout process. This creates a "not so pleasant" user experience, and makes me feel like Bluehost is desperate.
I absolutely hate bluehost. From endless glitches to hours upon hours dealing with uneducated "support" staff re fixing things I have fixed before. I will leave as soon a I have time to migrate to another service.
Twice interrupted, ad and survey, before I even finished login!
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.
