The user interface around the operating system was difficult to understand, so I felt that it was not suitable for Japanese people.
Since Bluehost has made changes last years I continuously have spent hours trying to access my account with passwords not working even though they are correct and many other issues. Also its crap when you now come on it it doesn't go straight to the website page. Its gone from a great platform to one I won't recommend at all!
Will open a chat. My website is grayed out, I cannot access it. I spent an hour on chat yesterday and they couldn't say why. Will try it again.
Have to go through click bait adds to get to my email administration. No stars for that. No longer support joomla
Every time I have a support request the technicians always beat around the bush.
I can never get a straight forward answer. Just be transparent and tell me the truth. I can live with it and move on.
As a result we are looking for a new provider.
Very confusing and not as easy as they say it is to set up. I'm having a lot of issues with my web email too.
I have had nothing but problems since I signed up, I have spent all last week on the chat with people who cant figure out the correct problem but somehow keep finding other problems to fix instead...this whole thing has been ridiculous
I have been trying to figure out why our emails don't go through from the branded email section. I have called at least once a month for the past several months and each time the customer service department said it was fixed. 48 hrs later I have had the same problem. They said they would update the API and that would fix the problem. It never did. I had to start all over again, step by step to fix the problem myself. All I had to be told was, "your mailer expired or wasn't installed correctly" instead of months of not being able to use our branded emails. Why don't you have a team that is more knowledgeable about your email system?
I was able to easily update payment method. When entering BlueHost, I clicked the wrong button and suddenly ended up on a site for CyberFortress which seemed to indicate that BlueHost had been bought by CyberFortress which is not true.
Since you change the site's interface, it becomes almost impossible to get anything done.
You don't fix something that's not broken, unless to improve it.
What was done was make it unusable, especially for me who have been using BLUEHOST for almost a decade.
I enjoy the webhosting and ease in which I was able to set up my blog.
Luckily, your email was very specific as to what I was supposed to do. The domain section here was confusing. I had to keep going back to see the instructions.
Makes word press pretty easy to use. However a month of help desk is also worth the money.
Pretty good but the security system has been a little frustrating. Seems like system keeps forgetting my password.
Constant problems logging in, email goes down if you delete a site you thought was not connected to the email... like everything about this company and UI/UX is WRONG and it has messed with my business a LOT.,
Overall I am happy with the hosting. Email has been very hard to use especially with an iphone.
Most things are good, would be 5 stars, but I have to click too many times to get to the pages I use most frequently
Website builder is not as friendly as it advertises. Some of your customer service people are just flat rude. Prices are too high for a 501c3 organization.
I don't care for the constant changing of login procedures. Or the fact that every now an then, you wont let me into my website. If you need me to change my password for security just tell me.
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.
