Not as many options as shopify
I got billed for something I never ordered. Deceptive business practice which is now taking up my personal time to dispute.
I've worked with Bluehost for 15+ years, and this is the worst service I've ever had with BlueHost. People drowned out the first person I spoke with, talking so loud that I could not hear the person I was speaking. He spoke to me as if I were a nearly-born child while repeatedly asking him to repeat himself because I could not hear him. The direction given to me on how I needed to service myself. Your service was non-existent.
Our email has been down all week. We have spent HOURS trying to get it resolved but your tech people are USELESS. Nobody can give us a straight answer, we keep being told 24 hours 24 hours... which has been COMPLETELY untrue. UNACCEPTABLE.
Why can't you guys just allow 2 factor authentication that recognizes the 2 devices I use to access my account. My webmail logon no longer works and your particular 2-step authentication is cumbersome. Improve!
Service is good, but this new interface is complex
I will suspend all service related to you. I sent to migrate the few clients I had on this server, I will not make 1 payment to renew even if they give me after that payment, 10 years free, bad technical support service
Your cpanel is annoying as $#*!! Always the upsell now, and to get the things I actually need I have to go hunt through more dumbed-down graphic menus. Jesus.
I have always felt supported even though I am rather silly when it comes to remembering passwords and so on, This is relatively easy though.
+ 1 year and you not solve mine troubles. Now i'm always in delay to renew hosting and you have never time to check well! I've troubles with robots.txt...
SO FRUSTRATING! 1. when i click on the email, there is a glitch that takes me to hosting. 2. My account was being charged $600 for a website renewal that was originally $12.3. When I tried to look at what the charges are for each domain, i won't show me the amount!
My mother died and while I was dealing with her death, you deleted my website.
Initial page ad is very annoying, outsource tech support incompetent.
I have issues logging in into webmail. It is a regular 2 to 4 times a year.
Is very annoying. I used to have issues login in to control panel with Chrome, only Firefox worked. And so on
Hard to find correct place to administer sites/email. Can find places to pay more, but I've already paid.
Bluehost has been really helpful - answering questions and helping me get my site up and running.
Getting email to work correctly on Outlook has been an issue. More resources on utilizing Wordpress would be good.
My website has been messing up and now the pictures are gone and it's unformatted. I've tried to fix it but it says I'm not allowed to access the website builder
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.
