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.

Too many problems with Bluehost
June 17, 2022
Previous review

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.

Its very hit and miss
March 17, 2024

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 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.

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.
