Bluehost is increasing machine drive, complicated and confusing. Constantly trying to sell more expensive additions. WHY?
I'm having trouble sending and receiving emails on my website. This is frustrating. Some of them have been important business-related messages.
Difficult start with themes and site builder. I am getting more comfortable with creating posts. I would like to see beginner video tutorials
Amazing guys, I appreciate your full services. I have grown my small business to the next level all thanks to you
I've enjoyed it but not finding the experience to be intuitive.
The services are not the best. Constant adds, server issues, i lost over 200 customers and it has too many third-party applications that confuses you and you loose control of your content if you miss one payment.
Everything about bluehost has been amazing- the only thing we have had trouble with is creating negative keywords for our sites (per request of our affiliates).
One of the reasons why I switched from GoDaddy to Bluehost, GoDaddy got too large. As result, customers suffer. It takes time to get helped and most of the reps were very unprofessional and uneducated. Bluehost 7 years ago was great until it got big. The customer's service declined and it's all about benefiting Bluehost, not the customer. Seeing the similarity on GoDaddy. Sad reality.
Everything is so painfully slow that I've had it for months and haven't used it.
I purchased the Dreamy "Hotel Dreamy" theme from the bluehost marketplace and it doesn't install correctly. I have spoke with 2 people and also 1 chat support person and no one seems to know what they are doing and can't help me.
Your team has been friendly but I have had to come back and repeatedly ask for things to be done as I'll ask 'is that all that needs to be done?' and they'll say yes and then it turns out there are more things to do and when I come back hours later after being told to wait, nothing is working still. And when you re-installed the SSL certificate you reverted our website back to the 2020 content... I had to use old logins to even get in!
The delay is losing us thousands of dollars in ticket sales.
It's glitchy and slow sometimes, and I can't log into Word Press without changing the size of the window because the three lines don't show up when the window is full width.
Wont accept updates. Raise prices without notification. New host can't enter to change over. Nightmare
Our members are constantly having trouble logging in and staying logged in (after clicking Remember Me). The login reset option does not work. I have to reset their passwords as Admin. It's a terrible program. Also, as Admin, I can't log in and have to use the Dashboard to view any Members Only pages.

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.
