The new site layout obscures what I am looking for. It appears to have been designed for people who are just beginners and don't really understand how things work. For those of us who do know how web hosting works, getting to the advanced features that we really need is much more difficult, to the point of thinking some other site would be better.
I have been in contact many times recently to get website backups working. Last time I was assured the problem was fixed. I still cannot see backups or initiated a backup without an error message. Not happy.
It works. I can afford it. Nobody's stolen my writing. Thanks for that. I appreciate you. I can't generate stats on website visits w anyone using any kind of privacy software, but I'm ok with "writing into the void."
It's been pretty good. Affordable. Thanks for that.
I literally have to click off an add every time I sign into my account. Its by far the most annoying way to push additional services you provide.
Additionally, the UI has changed like 2 times without any reliable warning that things were going to look different.
It started out really good several years ago, but last couple of years have been horrible getting anything done. Customer service reps are all on a different page and takes too long to resolve a small problem.
1. So slow
2. No Users Control Panel
3. Everyday our clients send complaints about (Your website is down)
4. No more features for the old clients like discounting or anything else
5. We need you to upgrade your services not downgrade
6. Speed is needed
1. NEED an option to hide chat button (bottom right.) It comes up and beeps loudly every so often, even when it is hidden and I haven't opened the chat.
2. STOP nagging me to buy domain security for my account every time I log in. It's trashy to repetitively try to sell an upgrade -- allow your users to respond ONCE and leave it alone after that.
3. Domain transfer process SUCKS now, takes longer than 1-week when it used to be handled same day.
4. Domain layout is not good. Why are DNS changes not accessible from the Domains section? The layout is not intuitive.
My platform kept crashing and I was uploading content and it kept not staying there next time I checked. I finally contacted customer service that said they will deal with this and months (over a year?) later the issue still persisted.
After many years of good service, had non-stop problems with hosting and terrible customer service. My website specialist moved me to another server and all has been great. Too bad your service has gone downhill.
Even us non-power users need a reliable tech partner, and Blue Host is always there with ideas and know-how to improve customer experience, speed, storefront services and security.
Don't understand why my Touch ID didn't work today, but it didn't. After I searched for my User ID, found it, then created a new password, all seems okay at this moment. There must have been updates. Signing in seems very different from the last time I worked on my site.
Really appreciate email forwarding being included! Same with admin of multiple sites easy install of wordpress has been fantastic. No viruses or other takeover attempts is probably the most valuable thing to me overall so far.
You have messed around with the layout of the system without warning. It runs substantially slower now.
Your 2 factor authentication system isn't working properly and I had to use the recovery key in order to log in. Just one more piece of unnecessary work.
Your chat bot just wastes space on the screen. It can't answer anything thats not on the menu and has no way of escalating - maybe that's a deliberate design decision to keep your customers in a confusion loop for as long as possible so you don't have to give them any support.
If that's an example of the wonders of artificial intelligence, God help all of us.
I cannot navigate beyond the "Home" page... everything times out. It's not my connection, proxy, or anything else on my end. This happens very often and if very frustrating when I simply need to change a password for someone's email account.
Ive never had a crack at building a site seems user friendly enough and I'm getting there slowly with mine, open for any assistance, be nice to have a full featured video tutorial or the like. From start to launch, then maintenance,
Web servers were down for a long time with no notifications. MX server massive failures. Slow (google rejected to see MX as valid) still. There are many problems that have affected my business and others like me.
There were some technical difficulties with your site when it was downloading word press (it had the circling/thinking/loading icon for over an hour) onto my computer, but a phone call easily resolved the issue,.
Just trying to figure things out - a little too simplistic of an approach for me, but probably great for most users. I'm looking to have segmented management layers, so dns, registration, content hosting not managed by the same entity, which is what your documentation and web actions are geared towards.
I've been trying to get my website customized for the last 2 days, no matter how many times I ask an agent, they always tell me to try again in 30-50 minutes, I return & retry & nothing changes. Very annoying.
I'm still waiting for help on a SIMPLE set up of Wordpress. If I did it manually, it usually takes 5 minutes. The system is so screwed up, it's be elevated for support and it's now been two days. Absolutely horrible.
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.
