Overall service is good, but your design/tech team approach has some glaring problems. From the client side...
1. I have a hearing deficiency and the non-english accents often makes it impossible to converse.
2. The skill level runs the gamut, exceptional to fair.
3. And lastly, the 1/2 hour hand-off policy make problem solving sometimes seem like I'm playing wack-a-mole. Wm. Current / JuliusMoessel.com
It is almost a week that I have asked to cancel 3 websites. I know you are not authorized, but there is a problem deleting the websites. kuckyalbums.com / konpoliexclusive.com / klorart.com I asked and got the information that the problem will be solved by higher technical department. This happens a week ago. And I see the 3 websites are still there and has note "Delete Error" This is the reason I have 2 stars. I will wait 2-3 days more and if I see the error is not solved, I will move all my 20+ domains to another hosting company.
Since it's not far into the process, all I can say is it's easy so far.
Have been trying to get a staging site up for over a week.
Get off Wordpress' $#*! and get with the times. Find or build an environment that will support Java websites, or python websites. All the major development environments.
Support is not awesome, but the overall platform is good and decently easy to use. Site goes down a lot.
I complained to restore my website and nothing done yet it's been hours
I am not able to access the Websites section in my control panel, even as a paying customer. So now what do I do? I'm just paying for a service that I can't access. Support hasn't fixed the issue an no one has offered me a credit for all of the lost time due to inability to access my websites section of the panel/dashboard (bluehost)
When I want to edit my WordPress, the webpage shows that it cannot be reached. So how do I edit my site?
I have had nothing but issues with DNS on Bluehost with this account. Which is a bid abnormal. I hope I can point this to use cloudflare today without the site going belly up like last time
Everything is fairly intuitive and well laid out. Also features are fine for our purposes.
Your service has been a nightmare miss information, horrible support, i had my company halted for days with now mail and weeks with now website
I have spent most of the past three yearts confused and paying for item I don't understand.
The new interface makes it nearly impossible to find things such as the cPanel and other important parts of my account. My account payments history is basically missing and My hosting accounts are now actually listed under sub-accounts. I've been with Bluehost for over 10 years. This is the most difficulty I've had with accessing my accounts and working on my websites.
Overall sound implementation. Picture transfer process is tedious and import fails a lot (Ruby error). SSH/SFTP documentation poor to support that transfer and FTP should be locked down. Why do I have to endure and upsell page every time I log in to manage files?
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.
