The quality of the email server is poor. I know it is free but the lack of optimisation is a major deterrent.
Some areas are really easy to navigate and other areas are an absolute nightmare!
Getting attacked by hackers a lot. Unlike in my previous hosting service.
Every step I have taken so far to subscribe to have email accounts, and to create them has ended up with me needing to contact support as nothing is as easy as it seems! I have followed all the help documents and still no luck! It is very frustrating!
Good experience, the only thing I'd like to be improved a little bit is server response time.
Quickly identified my issue and walked me through the setup process. He was kind, not impatient, and took his time to discuss and provide a remedy for my isse.
I believe that every web hosting company should offer a learning course on how to make their own website because not everyone is a web designers. I have been trying to get my website up and published for months and not once has anyone from bluehost reached out and asked if there is any reason why or if they could help in anyway
Awesome service! It is hassle free and affordable while providing a robust platform.
Very confusing about how to get started. I was taken to two separate sites to design the website...
I am just throughly confused. Set up passwords and have id etc but can't seem to get anywhere. I'm not saying the program is no good, just that my experience so far is not good.
I am a newbie at this technology. Your program is easy enough to understand and support was helpful when I needed them.
You guys have so many inept people who work as one of your Web Advisors. STILL this this day my website is broken. I have been calling for 3 flippin weeks. Things got so bad that when I questioned one of your Web Advisors, he actually said that the other Web Advisors were all wrong. Your escalated services suck beyond belief, they know nothing more than your standard Web Advisors. I am still with a website that functions properly. Poorly trained and looking only on the surface for easy fixes, instead of digging deep and going the extra mile to actually solve a problem. I even sent snapshots of the problem and alerted them to the SPECIFIC times that the problem seems to exist. You know what I got for providing such details... NOTHING! I have a website that is BROKEN EVERY DAY!
My sites went down for 5 days in a row due to a server error, and I could not get any explanation or estimate of when the issue would be permanently fixed.
My blog is posted and I am not smart enough to make that happen. Bluehost does the hard work for me.
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.
