You deleted my site and then blamed me for not backing up my website. Why am I paying you for security and backups!?

I lifted the automatic renewal of my hosting and you billed me for the service again. Furthermore, with their telephone contact they purposely complicate contact with those of us who live abroad and do not have sufficient command of English.

Updated review

I have a 27" monitor... the first thing I see when I enter the Bluehost website is an advertisement. I had to scroll down to find the small print that let's me "Escape" and get the information I actually need. Bluehost makes it's customers feel like we are nothing more than a collection of wallets.

Bluehost login is the most difficult of any site I use. I appreciate the security, but there is no need to make it so frustrating. And then show me the same advertisement EVERY TIME I log in! If I wanted additional services I would have gotten them by now. Please take me directly to my account page when I log in, and give me a way to STAY logged in so I don't dread using Bluehost.

Once account is closed with blue host, they set it to auto renewal and every year you get surprise deductions of $25 as domain fee or privacy fee. When I'm called them, they all have to say only one thing NO REFUND.
When I said it's illegal and unfair to deduct AFTER A/C is CLOSED, they said they sent 2 'reminder emails' that the amount will be deducted. Since I didn't call on time and I called them AFTER money was deducted, I don't have authority to ask for refunds.
Well, my first and only thing is, AFTER account is CLOSED, why are they deducting money? Why am I supposed to pay anything when account doesn't exist.! It always comes back to same discussion that I didn't respond immediately after receiving reminder emails.

This is 2nd year my money got deducted. Last year when it happened, I had asked them to cancel auto renewals and they had agreed to it. Still I see deductions. So irrespective of any statements, they deny refunds which is clearly unacceptable and unfair. I am going to report this issue. They just looted $50 for NO reason.

Agents are not accurate with information, and website changes "by itself". There is always an issue with the website that sometimes I can get to resolve but most of the time not.

I am new to website design and html. I wanted to be able to change any aspect of my website instead of using a cookie cutter template most services default to. This option has been pretty straightforward for me to implement on my own, so thank you!
