Fantastic assistance
October 24, 2022

I am amazed that they knew so quickly what the issue was,
How they could help resolve it and then inform you what the next step is to your website challenge. So thorough, efficient, kind, and respectful. The best.

The worst speed I have ever seen
November 23, 2022

The worst speed I have ever seen. This is 2022 and the site is super slow—such a shame.

Can't figure out how to connect the site I've made on Bluehost to my Google domain that I just bought.

Kiana was awesome
October 24, 2022

I needed some tweaking to my website and Kiana was my team member. She was most helpful and knowledgeable. Without lot of explaining, the understood what I needed tweaked and completed it with few questions and soon I was refreshing the site to see the changes.

Please remember her awesomeness when review times come up. She definitely deserves all the rewards of being a great employee.

All my attempts to log into WordPress from Bluehost just time out. My.bluehost.com times out, WordPress from your site times out. Literally 1 day after buying a domain and trying to build a website with Bluehost and I can not do anything. Constant 522 time out errors. I feel like I just wasted money.

I was hoping to build a simple website for my side gig. I though bluehost would be easy, but I found it to be very cumbersome.

When people leave ratings, they don't want to be forced to leave a written review in addition. So because of that, I have moved my initial five-star rating to 2

Extremely poor connection with your overseas staff via phone - I had no trouble hearing them, but they could not hear me well. Likely due to much background noise on their side.

Totally confusing site with little to no clear map of where anything is. Why not tell users first there's a 3 tier staging and publishing system? Why not put things in a logical order in a single place, and why inundate new users with so many annoying ads for services, upgrades, add-ons, and purchase opportunities before we can even start to set up a site?

Great customer service
October 23, 2022

I needed to transfer a domain from a music platform — which proved quite tricky. The Bluehost customer representative dug into the causes for the problems, sorted them out, and by the end of the conversation, the domain was into my Bluehost acount.

Much appreciated!

I've had two situations in the last week that happened because of my own actions. Both times I called the representative was very helpful and solved my problem quickly. It's very nice to be able to actually talk to someone relatively quickly and the primary reason I have bought my hosting with blue host.

Setting up seems so complicated
November 22, 2022

Setting up seems so complicated. I used SITE123 for another website and it seemed like a breeze. I wish I could understand all the commands and how they function without having to spend hours trying. Switching back and forth from WordPress and Bluehost makes it a little more confusing. I'll keep trying nonetheless.

It is good
October 22, 2022

It is good. I am just not familiar with tech, so it is a bit of a challenge, but i am learning a lot and breaking my comfort zones in staying up to provide for my family with 2 babies and all.
