I could not get a refund when l wanted a refund for cancellation, agents kept taking me round and round until 30 days were overdue. It was not necessary for me to have the subscriptionat this time and that is why l wanted canceled. I got really frustrated for loosing a whole $122 for a websites l was not going to use.

Bluehost you have been so good to me for a year now. Just within the past 2 months or so I KEEP not being able to login. Your 'Hosting' page has the spinning wheel of death and your 'Website' Tab has the blue spinning wheel of death. Beyond aggrivated as I can't access my page and work on my business. This is your job. Ur supposed to be #1, I don't pay you for average performance. Pls do better, u have been such a good company up til now

They can not get a simple DNS propagated and my site never worked. I transferred the domain name to them and they never got the site running.

Worst customer service in the history of mankind. From breaking out site with updates, to the constant upselling, I don't even know where to begin.

Bluehost service has regressed over the years. My account still does not show my full order history. I have called twice about this, received less-than-promising responses, and my history is still not showing.

Let me cancel the pop over trying to sell domain privacy. The 6th time I've said no should be more than enough to get my point across..

Terrible service, having my emails deleted and then a run around dealing with Microsoft, pushed back to Bluehost, and still continue failing to help me. Terrible!

The dns advanced editor doesn't show all dns records with the lazy loading and doesn't have a search function making it incredibly difficult to use.

I don't know why I even have a Bluehost account if everything I click on gives me an error message when I sign in. I can't manage anything in Bluehost anymore; some items are missing when I am in the cpanel. For example, I can't add a text record to any of my domains, only MX.

My website keeps going down and support won't tell me whats wrong, and won't tell me that they don't know whats going on, so they are wasting my companies time and I will be dropping bluehost asap.

Your support messed up my bluehost panel
February 1, 2023
Previous review

Your support messed up my bluehost panel. Didnt migrate my website. He just moved backup zip file from a folder where I uploaded it to public html. Then lied that I need to point domains in registrar to bluehost in order for migration to take effect. (websites were already on bluehost.) No need to change DNS servers).

16 hours for few simple tasks. Guy lied, destroyed my files and messed everything up. Then miraculously chat ended.

I really like how easy bluehost is to use, and how many options they have for website hosting. Unfortunately, my website has been crashing a lot recently and is also really slow now.

Constant issues with the interface

Constant issues with the interface. I get locked out while attempting to log in, and I have received vague user codes when attempting to do a variety of standard tasks.

I contacted customer support about not being able to edit my site. The person on the phone relayed the issue incorrectly to tech, who tried to fix the wrong problem. Puja sent me a message telling me that the site was fine - agreed, the site is not the problem, editing is the problem. I could not reply to Puja because the ticket was closed. I responded to a review questionnaire, explaining this situation within it. I have heard back from no one. I will be closing my account because I have found this platform unusable.
