So far it seems that iI have trouble signing in even though my account is automatically set to sign in with google. Not sure if anyone else attempted to sign into my account but I am now worried about security!
I haven't been able to manage my site because my SSL certificate isn't working. I was initially told it would take 15-30 minutes. Then I was told it could take up to 24 hours. I am a bit frustrated that I can't begin working on my site I just paid for and I have to wait an indefinite period of time to gain access to it.
Bought a 2 year contract in 2018, was never informed of renewal and was charged for 2 more 2 year contracts on auto renewal. Most domain services auto-expire if not renewed.
I have found it easy to use and ready to go, making my experience simple and seamless.
Having an impossible time getting a blog set up. Nothing about this is easy
I just started and I have been navigating through. There have been friendly representatives to help me along the way
Can't figure out how to cancel and keep getting billed
I bought my domain, tried to pick a theme, and I can no longer log in. The site does not recognize me at all. This has been going on for 2days.
Sign up process failed 4 times and the page froze up after payment. Causing the system to assign me a default domain which I am still trying to delete a day later.
SSL issues continue despite being told they were fixed
I don't understand anything and don't know why I was billed
Seems you thought about everything and wow automated such things wow
Site not as easy to use as I was hoping. No company-made video tutorials.
Havent used any of the materials given and they have actually been problematic
Relatively easy to navigate and manage changes. Email address setup should be easier - instead of going to Advanced.
Difficult to understand my site won't go up not sure why
I have contacted chat three times now for the same issue- I'm told it will be working in '20 minutes', now I'm being told (the third time) anywhere up to 4 hours. I can't even do anything on the site, because my ssl certificate is apparently not valid, and hasn't been since I signed up!
Every step of this has been full of errors that have needed correcting from tech support. And now it has happened again. I regret ever using Bluehost.
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.
