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...
March 25, 2024

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!

Everything has been fairly straightforward, but I have been frustrated by the limited access to the DNS settings due to having purchase my domain on another site.

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.

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
