Been a client a long time and they must be suffering as I cant get support. Steer well clear for now
I'm trying to set up an email but seem to be stuck in a loop with the throbbed rotating endlessly and not progressing
I don't like thee user interface at all -- and I can't figure out how to get the domain's URL to display the Wordpress blog. Instead it shows an Admin login button
Terrible navigation for starters. Everything is hard to read and understand. Not user friendly at all.
Great except hard to get in touch with live person
I am having issues setting up the website. Formatting is challenging.
This company is deceptive - I thought I was purchasing a web building and hosting service from Word Press. I have no idea what happened or why I was charged like this.
Nice Only 6 more characters to make your standard review into a featured review!
There's a lot of flashing 'Get this now' icons, and it's a little overwhelming. I have some experience with WP, but the addition of the a number of plugins by default is pretty confusing. A lot to manage off the start.
I've been having trouble with setting up my blog, and I've had questions but when I try to connect to the chat, no one connects to help.
Account login to backend logs me in as a different users. All techs can't seem to resolve my issue. Been on a call with 3 different techs and going in circles.
I tried to purchase a domain name with the hosting package and it didn't work, contacted customer support via chat, and they solved the issue within 30 minutes. Now, however, I can't change my primary domain to the new 1 i have just purchased without again contacting customer support. Very clunky and unclear how to make these edits without contacting customer service which takes up at least 30 minutes.
Difficult to go customize the blog once you have written.
My domain is not working and I will need to contact cx support for this...
The domain transfer time is affecting my ability to create/transfer email addresses.
I have had a lot of issues migrating a wordpress website into bluehost. This should be a fairly simple process, but there are no clear instructions.
I have called customer support numerous times and have been kept on hold for almost two hours, with no answer each time. I had tried to figure out the issue via chat, but the support techs have been unable to help me. There is no 24/7 support.
When I have finally successfully reached a support tech via phone, I have been told that I need to call wordpress to figure out the issue. This has been such a difficult and problematic process from the get go.
Nothing works. I have been on this 24 hours and talked to customer support that said the issue was from your site and it will be fixed in 2 hours.
Somehow it shows jibirsh for my site name
The confusing array of options and add-ons, if they are required write them into your code.
It keeps taking me back to create a web site. Going into circles doing the same thing over and over
Please improve your support and agent availability.
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.
