Your site indicates that i have no protection. I am asked to pay even more to have my site protected through BlueHost. What the heck am i paying for if not the secure website that you advertised when you got me to choose BlueHost as my hosting site.
Tried tricking me into thinking my account was expired and talked in circles about the pricing wouldn't give me the different service costs for different levels of hosting
Representative answer different different answers not same
Serveral time before conversation end disconeted
Expensive and the account is not possible to migrate to the new sevice. 4 hours of support 2 weeks ago and no one followed up. Yesus guys... you're throwing the business to the dogs..
My account was locked and now i get an email saying my account would be shut down. But I could not get into my account to pay
Bad customer experience. Worst dashboard ever. Server migration was unannounced. Customer service is at it worst ever.
Previously, I could log into my email account directly. Now, I must log into my website account and then into my email - several more steps. Plus, my option for Forgotten Password now doesn't work.
I transferred my website To BlueHost 6 months ago or around, I was Having a malware and pay them to clean the website they took two months and came with apology. Now I'm only wishing to transfer to another host and I still can't due to a technic problem!
There is no direct link for me to manage my site. It would help if you add a direct link to cPanel and maybe some other things. At the moment every time I have to go through a long process of actually managing my site.
Also, I have been struggling to use/access the database. Whichever username/password I use does not work. A bit frustrating.
I am a newbie so i dont finding easily how to change themes how to start writting but the customer service is good and helpful.
Still learning, but the support, and support material is excellent. Thank you.
Login is no longer allowing me to use my email as a login ID
We have been with Bluehost for nearly 20 year as it had always put service to its customers to the forefront. However, the recent changes to the site reflects a blatant attempt to sell us more products -- which has only made the site harder to navigate. Furthermore, we now get an ongoing onslaught of spam/phish emails relating to our Bluehost account which only adds to the annoyance of this "new and improved" version of Bluehost. It's a shame.
You changed my username without informing me, your caching or DNS is very slow. It takes ages for the site to even begin to load
Been really struggling with setting up my Wordpress site and found it very difficult to navigate but now I am working my way thru the bluehost beginners training so hopefully that will help
The website is slow to open, sometime it load fast. I asked support 3-4 times, but they just give us excuse.
Sometimes they told me that some problem was resolved and I had to come back again
Email is not working properly recently. We have been using BlueHost from 2005 but never experience such bad experience. These days it is not working most of teh time
Pretty good. The team is pretty responsive when questions arise.
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.
