I keep getting poor, and inconsistent information…

I keep getting inconsistent information each time I call for help. My site was taken down because the first assistant gave me poor information on renewal. Then, another customer rep told me the XML file was all I needed to rebuild the site. A fourth rep helped upload the file, and stated "your site will be up in 2 days" but nothing happened. The last customer rep told me the XML file cannot be used, but I need an HTML file. I wish someone knew what was going on.

Horrendous experience!!

Horrendous experience!!! Stay Away.

I've been trying to work with them to find resolutions for the slowest web hosting I've ever seen and customer service does not care or try to solve problems, When I asked to cancel, conveniently, their systems were down and I'll have to reach out later on, just great!

Edit1: No thanks, I choose my mental sanity 😁 I never want to speak or hear from this company ever again, pure headache

Chat It Up

I didn’t have to make a phone call to cancel my services with bluehost, they were able to handle my cancellation with a text chat through the bluehost website and asked me what I wanted to do with my domain name. They were fast, helpful and did not hassle me/try to sell me anything. I appreciated their help.

Got my questions answered

Harshitha Shivamallappa answered all my questions and communicated effectively when there was a delay in responding, so I knew to stay on the call. Thanks!

Don't be fooled, don't make a choice you will regret

It's now 37 days still waiting for Escalations team to sort out my account verification and having proof of payment sent to my email. It takes this long because stuff is incompetent, they lie, they blame customers for issues that arise when using the service. It amazes me why Bluehost has an average of 4,1 on Google maps they have 1,8 rate. scours of people complaining over similar things. Facebook reviews disabled too. Don't purchase anything with these lawless people. Take your money elsewhere save yourself the inconveniences.

Hi Musa,

As I have stated in previous replies, we have tried to reach out multiple times and have been unable to get a response from you. We would be more than happy to help however we can if you would not mind replying to the emails we have sent.

Thank you so much for your call Dear Michelle


Thank you so much for your call and help. You made my day and helped me resolve my issue with the WordPress website. The Bluehost website is great, and customer support surprisingly called me when I was struggling with my domain and creating the website. They walked through the process with me and resolved my problem. Thank you again. I appreciate it.

I had 4 of my website go down and Carl N helped me.

I had 4 of my website go down. I did not know how or why this happened. I called customer support and spoke with Carl N. He quickly figured out what the problem was and within an hour, he had all 4 websites back up and running. He was fabulous and extremely smart. I really appreciate his knowledge and reassurance that he would be able to help me. He delivered on that promise. So thank you Carl for amazing service.

Great support

I've been with Bluehost for a number of years now. In that time, I've had a few serious issues - some my fault, others more general to Wordpress - but the Bluehost team have always stepped in quickly and politely to help me fix it. I'm a very happy customer.

Just a headache!!!

I've had to speak with CS several times over the last couple days to try and resolve issues related to their website and the products they provides (specifically with Wordpress), and every single CSR rep has been unresponsive for very long periods of time and condescending for the most part. After using the site and dealing with the CS, I'm not sure I'd recommend this site for users.

Dedicated Bluehost customer since 2012!

I've been a faithful Bluehost customer since 2012, and the main thing that always keeps me here is their stellar phone support. Speaking to an actual ear when explaining any issues, does wonders for the simplicity of resolving whatever it is that's going on.
After twelve years with Bluehost, a month ago I took a decision to make a jump to Shopify with the intention to set up an e-commerce website, but in an attempt to of move all the content of my websites over to Shopify right when my hosting plan was expiring...I lost everything. Renewing my Bluehost account was the only option for me to recover my data, and I ended up going ahead with this for another three years!
Did I mention the stellar phone support?
I just got off the phone with Prince, who helped me troubleshoot for over an hour trying to get my domains to reset DNS from Shopify back over to Bluehost.
Super helpful, super friendly, and ready to go that extra mile. Prince even called me back to follow up the conversation after the network cut out. Five stars for communication and attention!

Great place to host the website

Bluehost is hosting my website for more than 10 years. The customer support is excellent which makes it very important for the partially website-illiterate customer. It is that quality which makes this company outstanding.

One of the worst customer support ever encountered. Buggy platform, with a lot of issues, and hope that you'll never have to deal with the customer support, which is all outsourced...

Support doesn't know enough

Despite multiple phone calls, Bluehost was unable to tell me why my two small websites were taking up 29 GB. It took a support person at another hosting company to show me the 8-year-old backups in a folder that were taking up more than 25 GB!!!!!!!! Why didn't Bluehost know that? It's your CPanel--you should know how it works. And why are you doubling your rates? Simple greed. I'll be moving to another hosting company.

Absolutely terrible service

Absolutely terrible service. I started a chat to uncover why the prices went up and what my options were. There was such a wild language barrier. The support associate told me they could offer a discount, but specifically not today. And not retroactively for my recently increased bill. And not for my next bill. I think they were trying to say that sometimes there are discounts, but I still honestly have no idea. After going in circles for an hour, I just stated I would be looking for another hosting provider and ended the chat.
