My website continues to crash, down too many days without explanation, getting it back online is great but why is it still crashing ~ it's a baby website with less than 500 visitors and no fancy bells, just what is provided in templates offered. The security and service provided for the price is severely lacking.
I don't like a big, bold "upgrade" button with a tiny little link underneath that says "no thanks, continue to account management".
I've been with Bluehost now for almost 20 years. I'm not real fond of all the changes. I liked simple C-Panel and using FTP. Email at one time was easy, now any email coming from the Bluehost servers seems to be sent to spam on other servers, I'm not sure why and there is not a good, one button fix for it.
Rude on the phone...always feel like we are bothering you. Confusing email messages that urge action concerning domain, only to find out it is a "money grab" for other services.
You have too many confusing ads on your site. Looks like I owe money for something that I have never ordered.
Nothing on this website ever wants to load except for the payment screen and the survey.
It's a real comfort to know if I have a problem or issue you can reach out to a real person and solve it. My old hosting service you had to submit a ticket and wait and wait and 1/2 the time didn't get to the issue at hand. If I need help here, it's just a phone call away and 2 times so far, the issues are solve immediately!
Regularly having a nightmare logging into my accounts.
Hard to find information on keeping website secure
Decent hosting if nothing goes wrong, but help desk is slow and ineffective when problems arise
We had a downtime on our emails and the resolution took very long. Also all the emails could not be retrieved.
Took me over 2 weeks just to sort out a login issue
Anytime I have glitch or issue or something my non techy brain cant do, support is always there and helps enormously. Cant praise you guys enough.
My sites keep disappearing. I have contacted Bluehost several times from the chat menu and they never solve any issues. They just send me surveys.
There is always something wrong and phone support is not available. I'm very displeased with your service. I would definately NOT recommend it to anyone, ever.
My website regularly has issues and shuts down. I send people to it and they often come back saying it doesn't work. It's so frustrating.
It's kinda hard to figure out everything when your new at all of this. Wish there was a guide..
The new interface is absolutely horrible. You removed several easy to access features that now require you to reach out to support to answer. Whoever designed this new interface is a total idiot
Just trying to understand pricing. Gone up considerably.
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.
