Excellent and quick, but may be you need more customers services.
Setup is confusing and not at all intuitive. Every other website builder/host I've used has been easier.
Nothing is working! I have never built a website before but I'm also not a complete idiot. I have no idea if I'm on wordpress or bluehost and how they interact. I create a web page and have it looking exactly how i want it, save it, then when I preview it, it's completely different! I'm also trying to set up payments on woocommerce, and when I try to "finalize", it takes me to a blank page. I don't even know where or who to contact for support. This has been the most frustrating few hours of my life!
Having a very difficult time trying to create a simple blog page. I click "log into Wordpress" or My Site and neither go any where. This is a roadblocker for me and I am about to take my domain somewhere much more user friendly
Kind of confused about some of the ways to us the website
Blue host has been very helpful especially with the tutorials and step by step instructions
Unable to work on site, SSL not functioning, 404 error codes, long wait times for customer service chat.
The most cumbersome and rigid website builder I have ever used!
Chethan was way beyond knowledgeable. They were very patient and not only explained things for me, but gave me URL's to assist. They are the reason I still use Bluehost.
Overwhelmed with my new venture but feeling hopeful I have the tools I need to navigate.
My experience with Jewel E. At Bluehost Support was excellent. She was knowledgeable, helpful, patient, and pleasant. She solved the issue expediently and communicated well with me throughout the process. I am very pleased with the support I received from Jewel at Bluehost.
As a new user, a few tasks have been confusing. However reached out to support, and they seemed quite helpful.
Had a couple of questions regarding my dns records and I contacted bluehost support. Someone joined the chat instantly and was able to help me out with the questions I had.
Difficult for a first time builder but the resources are plentiful.
When people leave ratings, they don't want to be forced to leave a written review in addition. So because of that, I have moved my initial five-star rating to 2
Had a hosting lapse and Jay helped me get back up and running immediately. His service was excellent.
I needed to transfer a domain from a music platform — which proved quite tricky. The Bluehost customer representative dug into the causes for the problems, sorted them out, and by the end of the conversation, the domain was into my Bluehost acount.
Much appreciated!
I've had two situations in the last week that happened because of my own actions. Both times I called the representative was very helpful and solved my problem quickly. It's very nice to be able to actually talk to someone relatively quickly and the primary reason I have bought my hosting with blue host.
Setting up seems so complicated. I used SITE123 for another website and it seemed like a breeze. I wish I could understand all the commands and how they function without having to spend hours trying. Switching back and forth from WordPress and Bluehost makes it a little more confusing. I'll keep trying nonetheless.
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.
