I dislike the sales popups that load every time I log in. The login experience only works about half the time.

The support team doesn't know what they're talking about.
Support team made changes in my account without my consent.
The international number doesn't work.
Waste of time and money, resulting in a loss of circa £600.00

Updated review

This website is currently not working at all. I have lost access to the Website builder and I have not received a response to my request for help. I've given it an entire day but no email back from the tech support.

I haven't had the support I expected from your web site description. The only question I had couldn't be answered by your representative and I would have to pay extra to find out why a WordPress feature would not work properly with the template. In your sales pages you say that WordPress features are available but you don't say that it takes special knowledge to integrate the templates and WordPress.

Wordpress interface is not intuitive at all and quite buggy. Would much prefer a reliable interface that allows items to be edited in place- much like WIX or Squarespace

I hate the stupid popup about "open your online store" whenever I log into the control panel. I don't want to open an online e-store. Stop offering that.

Also, the SpamExperts filtering doesn't work very well. I get way too many emails that are clearly spam and/or phishing.

BlueHost has not managed my personal identification information properly. I submitted a license to verify my identity, and someone mistakenly used the issue date as the expiration date and disqualified the request to update my email address. Meanwhile, they are using my email, name, and phone number to request confirmation of my identity. An unauthorized person's email is still on my profile. BlueHost has not updated it despite numerous attempts to do so.

The interface with account details and billing is one of the most difficult I have to use.

UX for login is a terrible flow, and always showing ads and promos instead of taking existing customers to the dashboard, plus sound is annoying

It's been pretty good so far, but this platform is rather challenging to navigate.

It was great until they removed the unlimited aspect for a customer who has been with them for more than 10 years.

You've upgraded the login experience, I guess. Now 29 different usernames/logins don't work. When I asked for my user Id, I was sent an ID I have never used to login to my hosting account. Not sure how many of those 29 IDs I'll need to change. I also don't know what other consequences will result from the upgrade but so far thanks for nothing.

Email sending limits is still a big problem. Has not been corrected as we were told. Our account was set up with a higher limit but changes were made by bluehost during an update...

I continually get an overlap of the bluehost site by the "message us" box and I can't get rid of it to continue.

Today, Friday the 15th, the site had errors and does not allow you to enter the "websites" section, not the hosting section.
