Bluehost Reviews & Product Details

It is easy to use and provides more options in the dashboard but it is very good for small project because it is low in cost and has a good tutorial to solve the problem and many developers are familiar with it so you will not encounter a problem that cannot be solved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With large and medium projects there are performance issues and usage limitations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most basic tier of bluehost is okay, because you can host unlimited sites if you can tolerate 6-7 load times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything else about bluehost is really terrible.

Customer support is frustrating and being passed around for hour after hour.

Their WP Pro package was a $400 mistake, now I'm hosted with SiteGround which actually works.

They got me to hang on until the month guarantee expired, and then never fixed my problems:

Backups don't work. Period. There is no value to the backup package that comes with Pro.

Cloudfront could not be configured with SSL; in fact Cloudfront could not be configured at all.

Whenever there is any change to make at all, they blame *everything* on a 72-hour DNS change when every mature web hosting company in the world can tell you how to stage your DNS change with minimal outage. They just don't *want* to. I finally got *one* rep (out of literally 20) to change a DNS TTL for me to 1 hour (instead of the default 6 hours), so I *know* they can do it.

Then, to top it all, whenever your site is unavailable due to DNS, there is a Bluehost error message displayed that makes you look like you didn't pay your Bluehost bill.

This service is not something you would ever provide to a customer; you will look terrible and you'll *still* end up paying for some other service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Bluehost to me is the many capabilities to connect it with Wordpress to make your website even better. Bluehost is also very helpful with getting the site up and running step by step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that I dislike about Bluehost is the multiple ways to upgrade your sites software that isn't always the most user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Guess their uptime? Even not sure about that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How Bluehost is squeezing you everywhere they can. They are raising prices on parked domains all the time.

I have a bunch of parked domains that I don't want to renew and they don't have an easy way to mark them to not renew. They deliberately made it so you have to go into every single one of them and switch. Not surprisingly to early renew it is only a drop-down menu item. :-(

When you go back from that domain, you end up on top of the list again and scrolling is so slow, that I am using this time to write this review. Really frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bluehost is fast, reliable and secure. I am using Bluehost for 5 years now. My website www.techsandooq.com is hosted on Bluehost and I am happy with my decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometime the technical staff is not that technical. Sometime chat ends and we have to explain everything to new agent. This should be changed. I have noticed a change and I think it is implemented but can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At this point, not much. We are transferring our domains away from BlueHost to a provider that has great customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer support is awful. During a recent outage, I was told by two reps that my issue was being taken care of and my site would be rebuilt within 1-2 hours. A few hours later, my site was still down so when I called a 3rd time it was only then was I told they couldn't fix my site because the files were deleted. They only sent one warning email that they would delete my site within 30 days, which was sent amongst a bunch of other renewal notices. For something as important as a website, you would hope they would send multiple warnings before deletion.

Because of the hosting lapse and the files being deleted, I was going to need to rebuild the site from my WordPress backup (which was well beyond my technical understanding.) Instead of being helped, I was continuously sent a link to a tutorial instead of being walked through it by the rep. I asked at least 5 times if there was someone that could download the files from the link I provided since it was beyond my abilities, even after reviewing the tutorial, and was ignored and sent a link to another tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fast response from chat and by being a new website owner I was completely confused about what I should do first and what should happen next but Bluehost has step by step guide on how to get your website up and functioning. The layout also makes it easy to use and navigate. I also was happy to be able to purchase my business email account through Bluehost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't experienced any dislikes while using Bluehost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their hosting service is easy to use and links seamlessly with Wordpress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their accounts and customer service is dire. The accounts duplicate bill and debit and then customer service state that they have no records of the duplicate transactions. After this happening repeatedly for three months, I cancelled the duplicate charge through my bank and Bluehost suspended my web sites, saying I had initiated a chargeback without consulting them. I lost hours of my time trying to sort this out. Customer service will keep you on the Chat going round in circles without a resolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Site reliability over 7 years has been very consistent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Technical or proactive support is poor. I have asked a few basic questions and the response isn't about what I ask, rather the boundaries in which their support operates

Many clients around the world have complained about the site performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost for Wordpress hosting is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automated support is about all, except for level 2 and above. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Bluehost integrates seamlessly with WordPress to provide a smooth user experience. I have had no issues with getting things completed that I need to with my website, as long as I'm willing to put in the time to learn how to do it. I manage my website myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not anything I can pinpoint that I dislike right now about Bluehost. It seems to be exactly what I was looking for, and I have yet to harness its full power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Bluehost has a terribly low period of time and a few of the quicker hosting speeds I've full-fledged among major net hosting suppliers. Bluehost offers a large number of net merchandise that permit you to consolidate all of your net assets in one place. Their normal email accounts that associate with the fundamental hosting packages typically work ok. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There will be some speeds and property problems once it involves operating CMS platforms like WordPress and Joomla. although Bluehost's client support is nice overall, they will typically not be useful once it involves resolution-specific queries concerning our CMS setup. In those cases, they typically refer to the United States to third-party resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bluehost gives the best uptime in the market which is around 99.99 % throughout the year. Also, it has a great load speed which is 406 ms. The introductory pricing of bluehost is quite low and begins from only $2.75 per month. There are a lot of options regarding the security as well. You can also find a number of integrations, e-commerce features, and ready to start apps like Wordpress, Django etc. It is also one of the most recommended, official host of WordPress and many famous web apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about this software is that they have very high renewal rates. The site migrations that are offered are not for free as well. One of the issue that I feel is, it's control panel shows ads very often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I switched from another host owing to frequent outages & poor client service. Bluehost has been an excellent selection. it had been simple to transfer my web site with terribly obtainable client support. The dashboard is straightforward to know & navigate. the {value} may be a sensible value. they're a wonderful selection for WordPress hosting. I even have knowledgeable just about no outages since moving to Bluehost. Also, speed & server response times were a lot of improved. I'm glad I found them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UptimeRobot indicated my website went down sixfold in a very few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can accomplish a lot if your company or business has a lot of needs. And I mean, a LOT of needs. There is literally an option for everything and I know they're always trying to improve on their service- inclusiveness. It's great. I appreciate being able to access my webmail easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can't do a single damn thing on here without clicking a hundred times through the options, everything is placed in a category and the organization is confusing. You could accidentally break your business site by opening the wrong thing. Drives me nuts.

Also, logging in without doing it through webmail is tedious. The URL to login isn't something you can memorize, which isn't cool. The settings for admin of the mailbox is few, and a lot of it can't be automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had almost two years of not having issues with Bluehost. Its kind of a bare bones service. Its cheap, thats for sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They forced an upgrade on my site without letting me know, which caused my website to go down. They never admitted to this, until after maybe 10 chats with their overseas customer support. I ended up having to spend $ to move to Dreamhost. All told, I probably spent 12 hours with their customer service. It was impossible to speak to managers or to escalate issues. If you want the feeling of being powerless with an issue, their shared service is for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I chose Bluehost because their services integrate with Wordpress.org, and I was able to easily host my site with them. Their sign-up process is fairly quick and setup does not take previous knowledge in website hosting. If I did not know the answer to a question, I was able to quickly search the question and answer forums and find the answer. This made for a customer-friendly atmosphere that made me comfortable setting up my first website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I quite honestly do not have any dislikes about Bluehost. Website hosting is pretty straight-forward, and Bluehost has a great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bluehost Wordpress Hosting keeps it simple when it comes to hosting and managing our Wordpress websites. We get far greater metrics that are connected to the performance of our Wordpress websites. We have an optimized hosting environment that not only loads pages more quickly than standard hosting accounts, but we can perform updates without having to jump through as many hoops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bluehost Wordpress Hosting isn't as flexible of a hosting environment as a standard hosting plan. Though it can be faster for Wordpress websites, it doesn't have compatibility with many other website structures and content management systems that we also use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only plus to this company is it has the highest uptime available. That alone is not enough for really anyone except server-based companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Terrible communication - their domains team is "email only" but they don't know how to reply to emails, send updates, or solve simple issues in general.

Call companies - They use random customer service companies that don't know how to solve any issues and are basically there only to tell the customers something is happening, even though nothing is.

Faulty backend - Their backend is so full of bugs you would think a high schooler designed it for a project during his lunches.

Absolutely abysmal customer service - They are so overwhelmed because of so many issues that you will be 1 of 1000 people constantly in the queue looking for help. Good luck getting any specialized support on that except for a guy on the phone to tell you that there's too many people to help.

I waited 5 days for an update on the hosting transfer, then after 1244 redirects to different departments, they told me to initiate the transfer. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE ALREADY. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You get fast, reliable hosting without the higher costs of services like SSL (secure hosting with https). SSL is included in the hosting at no additional cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a very minor downside. Bluehost will occasionally ask you to use their Wordpress features. I just ignore them. You do NOT need to make a Wordpress site in order to use Bluehost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bluehost has incredibly fast hosting. Once, I created a weight loss quiz and the page was loading in around 1.20 seconds on average. I love how Bluehost automatically integrates wordpress into websites becuase to there, all i have to do is login to Bluehost and press "log into wordpress" then, BAM i'm there! I have also used their support several times with fast responses on live chat and they always fix my issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish Bluehost gave you more than 1 free business email. It is really annoying to have to play for dozens of business emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implementation with WordPress, really easy to use.

The support is very good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Webmail is not so user friendly and doesn't have so much space.

In the past it use to have some problem, but now seem fixed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how bluehost has great speed. I have had 2 websites on bluehost in the past, 3 on wpxhosting and 2 on godaddy. For it's price, bluehost had the best speed, functionality, and was the easiest to use. They also have great support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how bluehost makes you commit to an annual plan or a 3 year plan to get good rates. I do see how it makes sense for their business though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
