I'm dropping this review to warn you all: this company is seriously scammy.
My experience with their hosting service was nothing short of a disaster. From day one, my sites suffered from endless loading issues, constant crashes, and customer support that was robotic and utterly unhelpful. I can't recommend their service.
Heads Up: If you're considering Bluehost, keep in mind it's under the same Newfold Digital umbrella as iPage, so the same issues might come along.
Products Used: 3-year hosting service
The first person I spoke with tried to upsell me a product I did not need or want. It took some time to convince him I was not interested. Finally he transferred me and the tech person who helped me with my domain redirect, adding or correcting a DNS record, got me on the right track.
I'm not a IT whizz. But I needed to create the website for my business on a very small budget so I created the site myself. I'm happy with it, I understand it. You tube helped with bits I didn't get at first. Selling is easy. Money is reasonably fast to get to me. Very satisfied
I am a freelance writer and it is very important that all systems be up and running for me at all time because time is money. Sometimes I turn to people who think they know tech, but really don't. I had a technical issue with my website, which is hosted by Bluehost and the customer service rep took the time to identify the issue and mitigate it.
The experience of changeing my bluehost main email went well.
There is series of email for the notice of change before it finally change is good to notify if my action is actually triggered on my end.
Blue host is probably great for most of your clients. I was never able to complete my website, or get it to look the way I wanted it to (themes, fonts, etc.)
Our experience was great because of generous in terms of user numbers and unlimited storage, efficient processes, and a focus on customer satisfaction. The hosting excels at providing timely support and ensuring smooth operations, which made everything seamless. One area for improvement could be increasing proactive updates, so customers stay better informed throughout the process.
I was unable to link my business email account to my new Galaxy phone. Bluehost staff were able to help me find the correct info and email is working fine again.
I'm having two of my web sites hosted on Bluehost, one for over 3 years, and the experience has been a good one. I discovered that the platform offers services I leveraged like transferring web site ids, develop new sites, backup, easy deployment and everything is easily accessible without much fuss.
I've recommended this platform to our professionals.
I contacted Bluehost support for issues with my website. I was very nervous thinking I had made an irreversible error when a member of the Bluehost team calmed my fears and assured me that they could help me resolve my issue.
Bluehost has its limits on what they are willing to help me with and it seems to be getting less and less. I'm not a tech person so when I have a Wordpress question for a site Bluehost built, a simple offer to help would be nice. This person did help me do something very basic, but she wanted me to call a pay-per-hour line!
My old Bluehost host was running out of disk, so I asked to upgrade. After several emails back & forth, one of their IT folks spent several hours on the phone with me, arriving at an appropriate hosting solution and enabling the transfer of my shell account and web site to the new VPS host, dealing with startup issues, making sure nothing (especially the constant stream of new emails) was lost, and helping configure the site.
I myself am a software professional with decades of experience, but am not a sysadmin. The explanations, planning, and execution, the support in general, were faultless, supportive, clear, and professional.
I have had an account and several domains with bluehost for years and will continue to use them. They deliver what they promise. The uptime is excellent. I have nothing negative to say about bluehost.
Overall, a good experience with an easy to understand interface, helpful support documents, and great chat support.
I have been with you for years and I find Bluehost hosting to be good. However, there are some problems that appear and they are recurring and cannot be fixed. Also I see a flaw in the support provided especially through emails. I have upgraded my hosting ، But I did not receive any notification that the hosting was upgraded even though I paid the amount. So I did not want to bother myself and contact you, so I decided to keep to myself and stop corresponding with you or calling you.
Ive had nothing but GREAT customer support with Bluehost - unlike GODaddy which I just left due to great people but poor results. Being able to talk directly with someone who can troubleshoot problems and walk you through step by step, with the added goal of wanting to teach is worth it's price in gold. Everyone I have talked to is upbeat, positive and helpful. This gentleman went above and beyond. I was the last call of his long overtime shift and he was patient, charming and went the distance to help solve all my problems.
This agent was accommodating unlike others who just state your rules and all...who insist on that without deep understanding of the problem...please equip your agents of expertise
Joe was very helpful, he was clear and offered relative advice to help me get my website up. He also followed up with an email so I can easily follow through on what he recommended.
It was good. The reason I connect to a contact was because I had to change my financial information.
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.
