E-mail regularly goes down. Support says the same thing every time and never actually resolves the issue.
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.
For the last couple of days, we keep getting the error 522 and the site is extremely slow and annoying.
Everything works really well and I'm impressed! Very easy to use.
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.
Please stop showing this survey. I have put my stars already... getting down as the pop up appears ;)
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.
Good service, excellent support. Keeps user up to date with changes and upgrades if required. No downtime and fast hosting.
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.
Good service. A little more access to help would be nice now and then.
I would provide a 5-star, however, I have been pretty disappointed in customer service for the past 2 years.
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.
