Customer service response takes about an hour and i have tried 6 times and my issue has not been resolved.
Horrible navigation through this site, especially the account management section. Almost impossible to find the page(s) where i can make the payments for hosting and other services.
There were a few issues recently, but I was able to get them resolved.
Navya was my rep tonight and she told me to end the chat and try again because she couldn't help me. My website has been down a
month and now I'm being told my files are all gone.
The biggest issue I have had is with building the website. It seems to be very difficult to change things and update post. Between trying to use Elementor and the blue host editing tools things dont seem to work. I.e. The about page isn't automatically linked to the default about page so I have to jump in and out of pages grabbing links to get things working properly. Additionally, I have had nothing but problems trying to get a news letter sign up to work properly. It seems to get stuck with blue etc. I chose to use Blue host because of feed back from others that promoted the product. Since using Blue host I have gone more gray and lost hair due to frustration. Customer service is hit or miss as well.
I am not based in USA; therefore, I have to use the chat. This is not really useful. I feel that I am taking with a robot.
I've had problems when setting up my website and the helpdesk has not been helpful.
I asked to stop the email trial and the representative said it was done and still I was charged for the monthly service.
I have contacted several times the helpdesk and I cannot see any progress.
I am very dissatisfied with the service provider.
It would be nice to have loyalty benefits for long time customers.
I've been frustrated with the constant errors using Wordpress and slow loading times
I like the live customer service agents to help with issues. I love the ease with which I can manage my site.
Took over a week to get my email working and not sure if it's working now
It's been positive so far. However, it's getting annoying that I have to click away a popup to add e-commerce every single time I login. I don't run a business, and that's not going to change.
Help chat sessions often take really long wait times, toward half an hour sometimes and then agents close the chat off if you dont respond within a minute or tow which is really frustrating. Its like they expect that you are just staring at the chat box waiting instead of trying to do other work
Once I paid for service it was extremely difficult obtaining the assistance I needed to correct website issues, finalize services I paid for, and simply receive answers to my questions. I was consistently told my inquiry needed to be handled by another department. It has been such a frustrating experience that I have completely stepped away from my new website for the past several weeks. Overall, dealing with Bluehost has been discouraging and disappointing.
I needed my site updated because the OS you had me on was outdated. Despite many attempts you refused to help me. I moved to DreamHost and for just $99 they moved my website. They also provided me an up-to-date system for less per year than you were changing me for an out-of-date system. Glad to be moving on Bluehost. I was customer for over 10 years, but you never cared about that at all.
Things may have changed since the last time I tried to get here.
Was not the most user friendly getting here.
Slow loading and my password and login never save.
Password too strict and PIN so that I have to write it down and save it somewhere.
Not user friendly at all.
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.
