Hard to build website and cost went up to outrageous amount. Wish I never went with this company. I'll be looking to switch providers imminently.
Whoever took over your service sold my email. You guys SUCK
I had help through a second party setting up. Would be nice if my site looked more professional.
Buggy, websites go down. Get locked out for no reason, have to reset passwords... overall real buggy.
I had to call multiple times to get a very basic email issue resolved. Your support kept sending me to other vendors when all you needed to do was check a box. Either poor training, poor management, or both.
Terrible hosting services. My website has been unsecured since I had it open. Email doesn't load in time so I've missed many opportunities. Worst hosting platform. None of the techs can map me through to identify the issue.
Been on for 15 seconds, and already two requests for me to add things to my account that cost more money
I've had a number of issues that prevented me from being able to access/use my website that have taken days or weeks to resolve. I'm currently dealing with another that is now into day 3.
I'm at the point of renewing and I'm really quite irritated about the lack of transparency about what it will cost (it doesn't say in the dashboard and I've not had an email recently about it (or since I asked for my plan to be changed). I also don't understand why there's such a lack of control (e.g. To change plans etc.) I have through my online portal. It's disgraceful that an online service gives so little control and transparency over these things in 2024.
Renew prices are far too high and you do not do what you say you will
You charged my over $500 for a inexpensive website. I cant fathom how my costs have gone up from $60 to 500. Absurd. Im going to be switching to another provider.
Logging in has become a real pain. You keep changing things! Now have to use a user id,,,used too be able to login with email. A little while back your password field keys wanting to set a new password rather than use for logging in. All very odd.
Also, is really annoying having the popup trying to sell me some upgrade I don't want - keep having to click 'continue to account manager'
I keep being told my issue has been escalated but nothing appears to be happening
Was facing login issues on my.bluehost.com since last month. It solved yesterday but not sure for how much days it will work fine,
The new platform does not have the same functionality as the old and is extremely confusing
Had issues recently trying to login, which thankfully have now been resolved.
All the extra steps to log in to the platform and skipping all the buying options is getting very annoying.
Thank you, Matt! What a great sales experience. Please give the gentleman a raise. :)
I consider myself a tech "beginner". I appreciate that I have been able to navigate the site.
Your log in page asks for an email rather than a user ID and it does not recognize my email
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.
