We monitor reviews for authenticity
A little clunky at first to create website and email is up and down recently.
Do not recall anything negative about the 17th Someone said something happened on 17th. I do not recall.
I have purchased an SSL and have issues with continuously seeing my website show as insecure. Tech support goes back and forth with installing a free SSL (when I have a paid one) and then reactivating my paid SSL (depending on which person is on tech support when I call). Lately, when I call there is no music telling me I'm on hold, so I have to wait in silence assuming that the call is still connected.
When I have asked for compensation for the months of SSL authenticity that has been lost, there is silence. Unfortunately, I started with bluehost a few years ago and now I'm stuck with them.
Your system moves way too slowly. Your representatives are talking to multiple customers at one time which causes a decline in customer care. Your services aren't that great. One example is your spam filter option. I wish I would've gone with another hosting company. I paid thousands for the website to be built and I didn't even rank. I had to hire someone else who knows what they're doing and I was ranking inside of week. That's just naming a couple.
Love the website and ease of use; however, there were too many early problems with access and functionality.
Tengo problemas con algunos antivirus que califican a mi pagina de no segura pese a que todo esta en orden. Tenia problemas de accesibilidad por incompatibilidad con antivirus.
Steps need to be clearer. Answers to questions do not need marketing ads. The instructions need greater clarity.
Not much to say, but that I've had a good experience
Lots of times people don't receive our emails, which is not good. We have tried to fix it, but it doesn't seem to help. I have no idea how much business we have lost because of it.
Beginner blogger. The site seems rather easy to navigate and work with
I have absolutely loved Bluehost since switching over. Unfortunately, I can't give 5 stars after the past weekend. All of my sites have been dragging for days and the only real response I'm getting is 'we are working on it.' Patient for now and fingers crossed I will continue to be as impressed as my initial experience.
I'd like to migrate my other site to here. But, now the new site even doesn't work. So weird.
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.
