Nothing. They over charge and sneak in higher prices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I had a very disappointing experience with Bluehost, mainly due to their billing practices. When I started a small website with them, the initial price seemed reasonable, but I wasn't aware that after a year, the cost would skyrocket to four times the introductory price. I ended up paying $65 one year and, shockingly, $265 the next year, which I found to be unreasonable. When I reached out to their support and billing teams, they simply told me there was nothing they could do, as I had already accepted the terms. Their refusal to reconsider the renewal charges left me very frustrated. To make matters worse, they automatically rebilled me at this higher price without any warning. This experience was so off-putting that I canceled my service shortly afterward. I found their billing department particularly unsatisfactory and wouldn't recommend Bluehost to anyone based on my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
