Having a hard time accessing some features my plan comes with.

Pretty good access and usability. Every now and then it can be a bit slow to login (but not too often).
I think my experience has been OK. There is a huge learning curve and I don't quite understand everything yet.
I mistakenly entered the inxorrect name in the domain name field when setting up my shared server. I have corrected it myself several times and also have called in and asked a bluehost associate to correct it. In either case, the domain name continues to revert back to the original incorrect domain name that I entered when setting up the account. The same thing happened with my mx records. They reverted back to bluehost's default mx records multiple times despite me changing them to the correct mx records. This caused the email to stop working and many emails were not received as a result.
Your customer service is lousy. Your interface is outdated. I'm switching to DreamHost as soon as I have time.
The website looks good. I wish it was more user friendly with some kind of instruction manuel.
I've had SO MANY issues with Bluehost. Last time my website went down, it took me 2 tries with customer service to get it back, and the second time they wiped all of my settings without re-adding them or letting me know. So my business email (where I make my money and run my life) wasn't receiving emails. They cut off my email service. Now my Google DNS tag is gone too.
I am unable to sign in directly to my email from this page; https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/email_manager. It will only let me go through the hosting site and then to the cPanel.
Great quick answer to my call and the person was very helpful.
I was lied to on the phone when we renewed. We were told that if we renewed we could get a refund in 30 days.
Hi,
Did mention the fact that photos on our hosted site are not loading proper, take time to all load
The problem still persists
What can you do to change this, make our site professional again?
Thanks
Willie
Bluehost allowed our domain to be sold without our consent. The Legal department and Abuse Department has been radio silent on the issue. Their tech support closed cases without it being resolved. Their tech support suggested to us that another support technician at Bluehost was involved in the theft.
Trouble with connecting my email accounts together for better management. I use MAC IOS. Also this process of retrieving emails is very clunky
I find this to be a bit disjointed and often links to my site don't work.
Still need to get my domain hosting switched and my website operational.
Miscommunication between personnel regarding the site migration to complete misinformation by the first person we spoke with by phone. It's taken well over a week to migrate what is now a one-page site. Now I can't receive or send email and though we followed the "diagram" it's still not working.:-(
I am not receiving emails at this site. When I send emails, they are not being received. Very frustrated.
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.
