Where do I start? I've had Bluehost for about a year now and have had many issues with their service. As a result, I've had to spend hours on the phone with their customer service, which I can only describe as incompetent, sexist, and frustrating. They're always interrupting me when I try to describe my problem, can't provide any explanation as to why certain things got removed or deleted, hence why I became frustrated with them during the call.

After one such call, my website was deleted. I have a hunch the customer service rep deleted my site out of spite. When I called CS to restore my website and ask how this happened, the CS rep said it was impossible to tell how that happened and implied that I had deleted it or that someone hacked my website, both of which were unfounded. This is an example of how incompetent their CS reps are. Instead of looking to troubleshoot or try and identify the source of the error, they're quick to blame you.

I'm moving to a different hosting company ASAP.

I wanted a domain for my website and end up analyzing a number of different hosting providers but I think bluehost is better than others with respect to ease of use and reliability. Unfortunately they do have a higher prices which I would want their team to revise as other competitors are cheaper. Beside this affordability factor, it is the best option.

Called today July 3, my husband had passed June 8, He had just renewed for 2 years May 22. They REFUSED to give any sort of refund; instead they sited their refund policy, which I had missed by a week (this grieving widow is BUSY). I find this unacceptable.

I have all accounts and domains recorded but it's always hell to login - even when I copy and paste user names and passwords. I keep getting error messages. I can't login through chrome AT ALL- only Safari.

A major flaw in Bluehost is their support system
November 7, 2022
Previous review

A major flaw in Bluehost is their support system. Usually in chat but it can at times occur with phone CSRs as well. You either get one that is very knowledgeable- or some that just plain stupid. Many have a problem understanding just what the problem is you're trying to tell them. Also once you get a good CSR but it's an ongoing issue, there is no way to get that same CSR back again. I'm transferring all my domains away from my VPS and killing the VPS for that reason.

Hard to set up
July 25, 2023

Hard to set up. Had to call tech support so they fix a DNS and what not. It takes up to 5 hours to be effective.
Too much hustle.
