Today, I no longer use Bluehost. I’m writing this Bluehost review to warn new bloggers to stay away and show current Bluehost users that there are better options.
I've had Bluehost for over a year and am deeply disappointed. The people who run the service spend all their time pitching extra services instead of making their service better. When I sought advice from them, they recommended I buy services that I later found I didn't need. (They lied to me.) When I tried to turn off the autorenew for these services, I was told by their rep that THERE WAS Pelo WAY TO TURN OFF AUTORENEW.
Ever since bluehost stopped providing the free comodo ssl certificate, I've been experiencing constant issues with expired certificates, but the real downer is the customer support has been awful, I have to contact their support 3 or 5 times everytime this issue presents itself.
We’ve been with Bluehost for many years. Recently we have encountered problems with e-mails sent from the site. When something goes wrong and there have been no software changes on our end, the finger points to a server issue. The most recent problem was html-formatted e-mails being sent from the code by the mature and widely used phpmailer library.
They do not offer an uptime guarantee. When selecting a hosting provider, you want an uptime of as close to cem% as possible. They do not give you a guarantee, but their Network/Server Uptime Agreement states that “most issues are resolved in approximately 15 minutesâ€.
P.S. Have you used Bluehost before? Please consider leaving a review below — good or bad — doesn’t really matter as long it’s helpful to our visitors. Thanks for your support.
Case in point: let’s talk about my nightmare security experience. Bluehost provides a free SSL certificate when you sign up. That’s what makes your URL ‘https’ instead of ‘http’ – it’s an added layer of security against hackers and viruses. One afternoon, I tried to visit clica aqui my blog and ran into a page like this one:
Run some scripted cron checks and you’ll see how bad things are sometimes. I’m not saying every site is down all the time, but it’s far too often for a supposedly reliable host.
If you are just starting your website, then you can select any of these plans. You can easily upgrade your hosting plan as your website grows.
Somehow Bluehost has become one of the top web hosting services, but don’t fall for the glowing recommendations. It baffles me that bloggers continuously heap praise on Bluehost and enthusiastically recommend it.
Contrary to negative reviews, they are sticking behind their products and services by offering a 30-day full refund policy.
Bluehost is a good option for WordPress because its new Bluerock platform is a WordPress focused control panel offering an integrated experience with WordPress websites.
I decided to abort this chat and look up info elsewhere and things worked out, but had I actually listened to anything he said I would have messed everything up very badly.
In my experience, live customer service is cem times more effective than chat which can often be a big waste of my time and energy.
