We are experiencing a huge delay in migration 9 days so far loosing money due to his delay
I can't get assistance on an outage preventing me from updating my website. I've been trying and calling & emailing for weeks.
Resent to tricks to upsell. Inform us, fine, but trying to trick us erodes trust. Costs are rising too much also.
Down a week due to your security, very unsatisfied with your tech support.
I've been using bluehost since 2017, and the most recent redesign of your website is awful. I haven't found anything about the changes that I can comment on positively. You seem to have taken a 'hard sell' approach, while throwing current customers to the wolves. The site has become harder to use, takes longer to find what I need, takes more clicks to get where I need, doesn't render well on screen, and often throws errors. It's all Cons and no Pros. If you're looking for a webhost, I don't recommend this one.
Not very intuitive when trying to work on multiple websites. Should be easier to add additional owned domains to the Create New Website page instead of having to enter domain name. Should be able to select from own websites to begin editing.
I've had several issues with getting my website moved to another account, it not being moved all the way, and had about a month downtime on it.
I have a website that is constantly down. I call and it gets fixed and then its down again. In addition, you've raised your domain registry rates and hosting a ton since I started with Bluehost. They're no longer competitive.
The server that Bluehost uses to host my website has gone down 2x in the last two months. I have never been notified and it has impacted those trying to get to my site. I have to call and they say they will reach out to the engineers. I has for a follow-up email and never get any communication afterwards. It
I have had a problem that has lasted about a week. I think most of the problem has been resolved but it was a mess. I had to pay for expert service ($165.00) to get my needs met. Bottom line is that my landing page disappeared as a result of having to fix a URL issue. I will be glad to speak with anyone of your choosing regarding the details of my issue.
Ive had numerous troubles trying to transfer my domain.
This doesn't have to be so confusing - very unapproachable and non-user friendly interface
We had to hire a web developer because it was too difficult to design the site ourselves (I used to have a site that I designed myself). Your webmail/email system is way too hard to navigate.
I'm being charged more than I should be for a very clunky system.
Server keeps crashing, nobody can help, it crashes daily
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.
