I'm still struggling to learn the functionality of the site.
I want to create a professional looking website, and I don't know how/where to begin. So far, I have not found the info I need.
Lack of support worst decision I made from switching from GoDaddy to bluehost. I lost a lot of business due to this platform.
Websites on Bluehost continue to give users 404 errors. Customer service is extremely hard to reach.
Email service is horrible. It became so undependable I had to start using a 3rd party provider.
Bluehost was great for quite a few years but this last year has been the biggest headache. Terrible customer service, i was given fake support emails and when i confronted the next agent they told me they don't exist. I have spent hours sitting on chats waiting for responses just to have the solution barely be solved even though it's been done before. This is on top of having my website deleted by someone as well as all the login issues I have daily.
I'm not one to complain but I have just felt so done with Bluehost lately and it is not the same as it used to be. I'll likely be going somewhere else when possible.
Bad customer service and deceptive pricing and increases
Seems to have a lot of problems that take a long time to sort out with support
Too many problems with Bluehost. The Bluehost Builder is buggy. It took months before the tech support people admitted it is a beta platform. You do not warn anybody about this anywhere. It takes too long to fix any problem. And apart from tech "support", nobody else will respond to a dissatisfied customer.
Data protection is something you should provide with any service to avoid any legal liability. Other services offer that. And as my business is shrinking, I will have to switch to a provider that doesn't charge for simple automated extras.
Customer service is sub par at best. Not good at all (Knowledge).
Every time our sites is down
I do support my self
But after 24 h sites go to down again
The issues still until now
Its very hit and miss. I find you are seekign new customers rather than helping current clients. If it is a simple task things are done perfectly, or if I tell you what to do it gets done. But problem solving I find i get fobbed off and sent in circles
I had issues with my website, which took you ages to address.
Too cumbersome. It tells me sitelock expires, i cant renew it. Have had several issues with email
Web interface is buggy, customer support is the worst out of all services i have ever used in my entire life.
They try to upsell me domain privacy when im in europe and have it already for free by law.
The list is endless
I have been using Bluehost since 2017, and it has been a great service to me. Chat is my best service option, not email or phone calls, and it works fine for me.
Bluehost is my best tool for web design and development. I have been using them since December 2017, no bad experience. Their support is great!
Really upset about my unlimited websites being taken away 😪
Two days ago, I requested technical support. I did not receive a response. I kept waiting for a long time did not receive a response. Unfortunately, this is my last year here. I will look for a other company have better technical support
I asked how to do something, and support ended the chat.
Overall good experience with functionalities and ease of use of the platform. Not so pleased with the support.
I waited 7 days for a domain to transfer and called 5 different times and was told the first time. All done, should be transferred in a few hours. Then called back that night. Took my transfer code and after 30 mins said your all set should transfer in a few hours. Then I called back 2 days later, and was told it could take up to 3 days. Then called back 6 days later and told it could take up to 14 days to transfer. I said BULL$#*!!. Something is wrong. She put herself on Mute and refused to hang up so that I would hang up first. I tried to talk to her but she refused to answer, and no music. I waited for about 45 mins with her on mute and then she hung up. I left her all 1 star review. Then I called back and the last person solved my issue telling me Godaddy has to release it that the code likely expired. Called Go Daddy and said have the owner of the domain release it. It was transfers in 30 mins. The service SUCKED. Terrible terrible service to wait 6 days for my business domain and email accounts and having to call Bluehost 5 times in 6 days was horrific. Your service was 1 star at best. You waisted so much of my time and made my business very hard to operate for 6 days. And that rep needs to be fired.
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.
