Easy access to update website, but sometimes difficult to get a human to talk to for help.
Good, but sometimes I have so issue accessing my acount or some other tech issue
I came to create an e-mail 20 minutes later, I still don't have it.
I don't find the platform particularly intuitive or easy to use. Right now, I was looking for help and it took me to a page where I was not logged in, after being logged in.
New cpanel is clunky and slow to get to key features (e.g. File manager). Support (e.g. Via chat) is very slow & often not that knowledgeable. Very frequent technical issues with. I spend more time talking to Bluehost support than any other service support, this years hours and hours. On top of all that pricing has gone up hugely and despite being customers for over a decade we do not feel at all valued, either when speaking to support, when being offered pricing, or for instance with the recent threat to introduce quite strict new restrictions on account usage. Coupled with website downtime and significant email problems over the years, Bluehost can often feel like a very frustrating experience.
Been a customer for 10+ yrs. Cpanel & facilities good. Email & server status very unreliable.
Everything straight forward and easy to follow. Lots of free guidance available and technical support has been swift and helpful when needed.
Your changes are difficult to navigate and an old message will not clear.
The mail SPAM is inefficient, Doesn't remember my frequent emailers, no matter how many times I ask it to.
Something is going wrong, my websites are crashing. Wordpress is not updating well. And your technical team is not sorting well the problem.
Very convenient and fast host, with awesome support.
There are a lot of glitches. And not very easy to get started as a beginner.
Not friendly and to access email, i haver to do click on 3 different options
I literally contact bluehost for any changes i made on my cpanel vps server. And as we speak i have a 2weeks case i have been contacting bluehost about and was finally escalated yesterday, it's been 24 hours and i have not gotten any message from the advanced backend team.
Horrible big brand
Would prefer to have the entry field for user name and password on the same page.
I love the customer service so much and I haven't had too many problems as I hosted my website on bluehost
We've been having persistent issues with our emails and website for the past one year. The quality of products offered is poor and the support agents are poorly trained
Our email issue is more than 2months having problem and until now didn't resolve.The issue was repeated
The experience is good but when I add a new website, the IP address attached to the domain's A Record is usually wrong and that gives me problems.
Constant email errors, not getting informed about billing and cutting hosting as well as contact to customers, etc
Everything is take so much time to get things resolved. Also my page is down because of you.
Horrible Customer support. Twice they hung up the online chat in my face. The first one was when I asked to speak with a supervisor because I couldn't communicate with the advisor. The second time they disabled all my plugins and then they hung up the chat, leaving me to have to manually re-install all the plugins. Just awful.
My website crash a lot of times for severy days, but it never informed me about this. I lose a lot of order!
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.
