I pay for the service. Why do you keep putting ads in front of my which completely interrupt the workflow?
When I log in, just let me get straight to my stuff.
My host plan was 60 $ first time and the domain was 13 $ now my host plan 277 $ and any domain 21 $ that is so bad and i will transport all mt domains as soon as possible i can
We are facing problem recently. Our mailbox stop recieving new email from time to time should have to wait atleast 6 hours to get new email in our inbox
Everyone has been wonderful that I have worked with.
Extremely slow customer service keep you waiting for more than hour for a small issue. When i started using bluehost it was never like service was good now its horrible. The chat agents close the chat on your face when they dont have any answer. Multiple times happened to me.
Good hosting and support. Just need to work on their speed a bit
Customer service are not knowledgeable enough, I had a malware and didn't have efficient help in time
1. Bluehost's interface design was intuitive previously with logical organization of clear representational icons. They now have a version that has no GUI, only words, and is horribly unintuitive.
2. Bluehost's email: Emails typically have some sort of meta certificate that allows our emails to get to clients without being sent to spam automatically. For some reason we consistently have issues with this met certificate always needing tech support to renew it.
3. We've consistently had issues with whitelabeling of IP addresses and Postgress.
4. Clients are unhappy every time we use Bluehost servers b/c they load too slowly and have email sending and receiving issues like we have had.
I can no longer simply create a new database, set up a subdomain, manually install Wordpress on it, and have it work.
The cPanel is very difficult to find, and it gives me the impression each of my domains on this account has its own cPanel, even though changes made on the cPanel seem to affect all my websites.
Your chat service is terrible, and I think the upper management of Bluehost know this and don't care. Every person I have ever chatted with seems to be reading from a book of canned responses with a "fill in the blank" for my name. Every time I ask any question, it takes several minutes for the representative to respond, and then their response is often, "Please give me 3 to 4 minutes while I check on this." I have timed the "3 to 4 minutes" and it has occasionally taken as long as 10 minutes for someone to actually respond, and even longer to finally come up with an answer. You are either overworking and understaffed support team, or you are intentionally making this experience a living hell for your customers in hopes that they'll just give up.
You have changed my server IP address at least twice this year without giving me any notice, leaving me wondering why I can't log in with FTP or access my databases.
Every time I long on to my Bluehost account, your stupid support response bell rings, giving me the false impression that's there's an active chat session in progress. I have to turn off the volume on my laptop to stop that dinging.
Since the upgrade we are more exposed to hackers and use our email server for their phishing email using our domains and support team moved to india they are very rude and unprofessional in general.
Price is ok, but the constant ads every time i log in are annoying. Also the code system, that says i entered the wrong code, which then sends me the same wrong code when i resend it, then asks me to enter my recovery key if i want to log in, then continues to berate me on the fact I did not use my 2FA from my phone that did not work due to an error on your side.
Please find solution.Because you are sharing our phone number with other people. I got more than ten spam calls everyday for web site offer... Bothering a lot
I cannot use my preferred browser (Firefox), and Safari does not store my password. Your customer service has tanked.
Pretty good, but the 2nd authentication system is less secure than what i had before with my authentication app
Very poor technical support. And takes too long to wait each time for every response. And took so many days to solve an issue. I have contacted at least 5 times and still not yet solved. Some staffs had poor knowledge.
Too hard to sign in for webmail. Perhaps there is a better way
Ssh keys are broken. I cannot access the shell on my account. Website for vseavello.com isn't setup correctly. I get someone else's web site when I try to load my site.
Been struggling with customer service and migrating my website to Bluehost. Just started chatting with Bhagyashree and hope they'll help. So far, so good.
The changes are absurd! It now takes me several steps to get to weebly
Bluehost services EXTREMELY deteriorated over the past two years, thinking of migrating. Sites not reachable, account access issues, yesterday spent 4-5 HOURS trying to log in... your agents do not speak/write understandable English sometimes, so much less can they help. HORROR.
We have had an ongoing issue with a subdomain (kiyongtai.com) with regards to email delivery that we have not been able to resolve since October despite several attempts to have it resolved.
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.
