Hit Customize Site and it keeps downloading a file and not doing anything else
Bad chat support bad phone support site is built and published but when you go to the site it says it's coming soon
I am struggling with how to customize this domain and hosting I purchased the other day. Not only was it much more expensive that what I would typically buy from WordPress.com, but it is trickier to use. I am not sure I have the patience to figure this out.
Not a good experience. No response to a simple question. Is a pin number required?
Somewhat frustrating start with transferring a domain in
Seems like it's just a bunch of upselling. I purchased some of the upsells initially and it's trying to upsell me even more after that.
The hosing platform just works. They also provide free help and tutorials, witch Is a fantastic deal when buying their plans.
No email contact, just a bot for replies, which is a worry. I am a little concerned how to get in touch when things go wrong
I am existing customer for other domains & companies...was happy before especially with support. Now I have a domain registered with GoDaddy, I just paid and set up a new BlueHost account and need eMail with new domain address ASAP (and don't really want to use GoDaddy for that). Unclear if BLueHost is pushing to transfer domain registry (or just host)... no response from CHAT that is offered lower left... will try calling 800 umber...
Online chat is terrible!
I need to set up an email account and this site navigation brings me to a service that doesn't work
I find the site to be very confusing. I've tried publishing my page several times and it keeps giving me the run around.
Your interface is too difficult to find things and to understand
I didn't get anyone to help. I've been on hold over and hour on message
Very confusing. I was sold multiple domains in one attempt
I've made 4 attempts to contact Bluehost to resolve a problem migrating my website. My website is now completely down and my emails are getting no response. I will be asking for my money back if this problem isn't solved immediately.
Publish says live, but the website doesn't show it.
I am a new customer and still struggling to migrate my services to Bluehost. I purchased professional services for this migration but I've absolutely no visibility on the migration status. I am fed up with sending follow-up emails. Chat Support or phone support don't have any visibility on my case. I was confused/surprised about how to continue with Bluehost. Definitely not recommending this service to anyone. You guys need a lot of improvement. There is no escalation matrix, no account manager, no direct ticketing system for customers, and no direct interaction possible between your technical backend team and the customer.
Trying to transfer website to this host, it is not a wordpress
I'm really stumbling with creating my site. My domain will have 3 different site and i keep selecting blog sites I'm about to give up
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.
