E-mail regularly goes down
June 16, 2022

E-mail regularly goes down. Support says the same thing every time and never actually resolves the issue.

After Bluehost server crashes, my site is running slow. Customer service techs just keep telling me that they hope it won't happen again. Not very reassuring.

Overall service is good
June 16, 2022

Overall service is good. I think you could do with upgrading the databases to a more recent version. The version I have at the moment does not support OLAP features which would be very useful to me. MariaDB would be a great low cost alternative. I have instances where server performance seems to be poor, but I put that down to being on a shared machine. All said an done, great value for money.

I had several issues with my SSL certs. I was able to resolve it with the help of the BlueHost Chat services/ Tech support.

I keep getting a notification from Jetpack that my websites are going down constantly, additionally, the email service is slow from time to time and is down but there's no status bar or page that I can find saying that there was an issue. It's only been a main issue in the last month or so and the page load times are really slow.

Extreme issues in connecting to server for email. Several error messages. Have tried clearing cache, restarting computer, running software updates, etc. Has been slowing my business responses down significantly. By the time I was connected to anyone, I had my next appt. Just very frustrating.

The SSL certificate doesn't stay updated; the customer service is terrible, which I have already complained about, and the tripling in price for the extension is price gouging considering the service is unreliable and terrible.

I haven't used bluehost much
May 17, 2022

I haven't used bluehost much. I set up a small WordPress site a couple years ago. I like that it just works and I don't have to think about it or wade through endless upsale attempts like GoDaddy.

It was great up until this past weekend. Something updated and now I'm lost trying to figure out why everything is running so slow.

Terrible experience with hosting uptime, time to first byte metrics and support help. 0/10, would not recommend to anyone looking for a reliable host.

I would provide a 5-star, however, I have been pretty disappointed in customer service for the past 2 years.
