There is still outsourcing going on with your customer service helpers. When I called with a question or problem, the person speaking was hardly understandable. I felt bad having to have them repeat themselves like 3 times for almost everything they said. Hire some people who speak southern English... not an asian, hispanic or foreign dialect. That is why I left Go Daddy and moved to Blue Host. All of their workers spoke with some foreign dialect whom I could never understand AND could never help to solve my problems with their build system.

I've just logged in. I haven't "experienced" much yet. Wrong timing to ask this kind of question!

It's frustrating that as a new user you get a deep discount and get to sign up for a higher service at lower price, but when it comes time to renew, you're not able to select one of the lower services, only go up a level.

I don't want to be offered stuff before I can get to my account page, it's just an additional mouse move and click for something I couldn't care less about,

I use only domain name service, but BlueHost changes my dns A record to point to it's own host address without my permission. More, I cannot recover my A record! Why should I contact the customer service with this?

The old tools were much more intuitive - this new panel sucks when looking for things like account info, billing, etc.

There is a complicated process required to access my email account which is much less convenient than before the latest update.

Forcing changes for security reasons, without options, is still forced change. Passwords with a false sense of security. No voice in the matter, just a paying victim. I hate it every time I log in, but this is where I am. Remember, you asked.

Relatively easy to set up
March 28, 2024

Relatively easy to set up. And a huge amount of functionality without spending much more. Although the YITH add-ons available are only the free versions.
