The bluehost interface doesn't load half the time now, making it a ridiculous hassle to log into the website and check the backend / admin
Having a hard time find mail forwarders and auto responders
I have been scammed by a bluehost - they have renewed automatically ssl purchase, there is no option to cancel the renew, remove the card, and event though they promised to refund me and cancel auto renew twice, they didn't. What can I do?
I had problems with a security and your specialists were selling managers and not a problem solvers
Customer service chat is not supportive. See my last chat
UI is hiding add buttons on monitors. Can you guys at least test the UI?
Can not log in anymore with the old way was better, have to log in on safari, when before I could log in on Firefox with no issue.
Your email interface is extremely clunky. I have to click about 5 diferent windows before i can even see my inbox. Once im in my inbox, i am in one of the ugliest and annoying interfaces created.
Upselling is annoying, plus, I have many (hundreds over the years) spam 'subscribers' which on three separate occasions you have failed to help me with, sometimes even saying that I am lying about them.
Today was great. Yesterday - no latency knowing where things are, providing good direction, and personable
I've been trying to publish a website since 11.9.23, and I cannot get the sesame theme to change with elementor. I've repeatedly ask for support. A person called me requesting 700.00 for annual support or 50.00 per month. Thursday another person called me Scott Wardell, *******369 he wants 2629.00annually, ******* monthly annually
I'm tired of seeing the offer for "Privacy Protection" come up every time I log in. It's been doing this for about a month now?
Massive differences between old and new hosting login. Should have publicized the changes better. Otherwise, seems to work.
Just locked out of my account because two-factor authentication number didn't work. Same number sent twice; both times invalid. Wasted time trying to get to speak to someone--on hold for a long time.
There are too many pages now to go from login to my site
I feel like you added more screens i need to click and advertising just to get to my email.
Worst customer support and developer support experience ever
I've tried multiple times to resolve an issue (chat, call, incident) - and have requested escalation. No responses
Too many issues with email accounts. Cant send emails to external email IDs other than my own domain
I have repetitive problems access my site and logging in. The chat bot is not helping.
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.
