Your support team cannot update my email without bugging me 10 times to confirm via email and even when I confirmed they keep asking again and again. Also the website is not easy to create here. It might have been easier to make it using html and css instead of putting so much money here.
This new interface is awful and difficult to navigate. Bring back the old panel.
It's been horrible - your representatives have been unable to connect my domain to my website and I am now removing it from your platform after over 2 months of inactivity. Thanks a lot!
So far its been good had an issues one time. It was user error but they worked with me for ever to figure it out any ways.
I've asked for the SSL on my site to be installed on numerous occasions and it hasn't been. The operative, does something but doesn't see it through to make sure the problem is resolved. I need your agents to own the problem until it is solved. I've been asked to start another chat in an hour when a scan is finished, but really I would expect your representative to keep an eye on this and contact me rather than ask me to manage the resolution from my end. It feels like I am going round in circles
It's a bit confusing to navigate sometimes. Sometimes the home page only shows domains and not websites, hosting, etc.
Every time I log in to my account I'm constantly prompted to purchase domain security. I have paid for my account and I DO NOT want to be constantly asked to pay yet more every time I log in. I have tried to contact support about this...it went away for a few days and then came right back. It's annoying and has made me NOT want to renew my service with Bluehost.
My business website has been down all day and the extent of assistance from Bluehost was that I was told to verify my license for a plugin. I am a business owner and not a web developer. When I asked what if my site being down had cost my company tens of thousands of dollars in potential sales I was told Bluehost is not responsible for third party plugins. My site has been the same for several years and has not changed or been modified at all.
I have a problem with renewal that has not been resolved. I wish to transfer my two domain names to another provider
Generally pretty easy to use andf helpful when I have issues.
I enjoy it. I get a bit confused by many of the product options available, need to spend more time exploring them.
Still cannot link my account to a separate google account
I have had my account for years and yet I get poor service, my account is not set up correctly and my website load extremely slow.
I enjoy every bit of blue host services. All thanks to them for the wonderful services
YOu never get back with messages. You always have to talk to a bot.
My chat a few hours ago resulted in a promise to fix our website. It still isn't fixed.
They get you with lower price starting options but pricing for renewals is significantly higher than industry norms.
Logging in is also a complete pain... Changes every few months and I feel like I spend 10 minutes learning a new system, resetting passwords, and trying to jump through hoops to get in.
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.
