Overseas supports are predominately difficult to understand, rude, unhelpful, resistant to assist, I have been hung up on several times. I am considering moving all my currently hosted sites on Bluehost. I also have several websites coming up for development next year.

New customer service system and queueing brings a bad customer experience. Numerous hosting issues with DNS. Response time of issues is as bad as more than 3 weeks. I deeply regret seeing service deteriorate so much in this past year.

I don't like the new cPanel set up
December 19, 2023

I don't like the new cPanel set up. It's very confusing and seems somewhat limited compared to what it was. There are things I could do previously that I can't do now.

You don't have a good support, the security is poor, and the main reason for customer service is to make more money

Useless support team that ends chats when they don't know how to solve issues, slow and laggy loading times with images on the site overlapping, generally horrific customer service and ads shoved down your face 24/7 to spend more from logging in despite their basic service not even working properly lol

I am a customer of BH since it was established in 2003... never I went through troublesome time such as nowadays. For the last 3 months, I encountered many financial, technical and design issues due to hacking event. Some issues continue without real support.

Unannounced changes are unwelcome
December 19, 2023

Unannounced changes are unwelcome. Got a sitelock expiration message with some scary language so I came to attempt to renew and to clarify what exactly I would be buying. Any attempt to renew is met with a "cannot process not - try again later" message. Your latest changes are very confusing.

Site would not accept authentication code or recovery key until started over and then once in I was faced with an ad and the part to decline was below the bottom of my iPad screen.

I am being auto-billed for a product, but cannot find any information about options on my account page for options to reduce costs — such as a shorter renewal period.

Constant promises of things but never delivered
December 19, 2023

Terrible customer service by phone. I have an issue of a deal that was promised to me 3 months ago and still has not been honored. The Support department manager, Ryan who promised me he would make it happen is never available to reach and no one else can fix this. I am disgusted with this company now.
I called again today and was promised a call back by a supervisor but no one called.
Dealing with this company is a nightmare!
