I have had nothing put problems with Bluehost - the tech service is ill informed and often condescending. They don’t like b2evolution and don’t hesitate to let you know. On shared servers, they don’t support the php extensions that make b2evo more efficient and run faster. A default install of b2evo 6.11.3 could not upload the antispam database. They would not take responsibility for this even though I had 3 other identical versions running on other servers. If you want a headache and to waste your time they are the ones. I said, “adios” yesterday!

We have used Bluehost for some 10 years and since then Bluehost have tripled the prices for old accounts. I will start looking for a new host asap.
Their tech support has been good over the years, though.

Some disappointing changes have occurred in Bluehosts customer service, email handling, and pricing. I have been with Bluehost for several years and even have fond memories from a few years back of my pretty much hanging out- via telephone- while their tech support folks fixed an issue. More recently, I discovered that some pretty important business and tax related emails from my web account were not being received, nor recorded. I used their Chat support and got nowhere.
This all caused me to reevaluate what I am actually getting from Bluehost. As it turns out, not much.

I have used Bluehost for almost 6 years now and never had a problem at all until this renewal period. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why they don’t seem to want to keep existing customers.

They have more than tripled their price for this renewal. The best I could get offered was $10.99/month yet they still advertise $3.49/month for new accounts. Last renewal, I called and they offered me close to but not the exact advertised rate for another 3 years. This time, the person was very rude, basically said the price you see is what you get. They didn’t want to talk about how long I’d been a customer, nor did they seem to care that I was planning to leave because the cost more than tripled.

So… 2 stars from me. Based solely on the cost more than tripling, I’d give them a ZERO, but since the service, support etc from my past 6 years was really good, I gave them 2 stars.

Bye bye Bluehost!

Bluehost is good. Though bluehost provides a little less uptime, they are best when it comes to customer supporrt.

I have been with bluehost for 3 years..and this year (my annual bill is coming up) I realized that the price has gone up considerably. The only reason I give them -1 star is because of the pricing. I would think that if they wanted to keep their customers..they would up the price so much.

Besides this..the help I received was excellent whenever I had questions, they would let you know when your site might be done..because they do maintenance, which is informative. Even though they let me know, my site has never been down personally. I currently have the Shared account with them, which works perfectly for my freelance website I designed myself.

I have enjoyed having my website being hosted by them, however; I think this year I will be looking for a slightly less expensive web host before this month ends.

Nonetheless, I would recommend this web hosting service to anyone who is either starting out or can afford to stay with them every year. It was definitely a good start to host my website with them while it lasted.

I am finished with Blue Host. Very poor customer service with one person telling me one thing and another person telling me something totally different. When I was over billed at one point by $30, they were completely inflexible about refunding my money. I would never use them again and highly recommend you go somewhere else.
