Good! Recommended by our website designers and it was a good price, preferred by their team, and easy for us to use in-house once handed over.

Pros

Easy to use, links directly to and supports our WordPress site, and has user-friendly features for first-time website builders. Like any platform, I recommend customising where possible as the freemium or templated features are quite basic, however, they definitely get the job done if you need something published ASAP while finalising a better design/function.

Cons

We haven't found any yet--other than the obvious need to invest in a few better-option templates or premium features if you want a useful and insightful website.

Overall, I would recommend Bluehost services to anyone looking for web hosting service. They are easy to contact and quick to provide advice. Highly recommend.

Pros

I use Bluehost to host my WordPress blog and it is amazing. I'm not a novice online, neither am I an expert. Bluehost is easy to use and has support readily available when I have felt stuck. They are my first choice when it comes to hosting services. Highly recommend.

Cons

There's not much I have to complain about Bluehost except logging onto WordPress from Bluehost takes a few steps. However, it is a minimal complaint.

My wife was contacted and up-sold on a 3year payment plan. They charged us for the 3 year contract and continued to charge us for the monthly plan. We never used the account they set up with the 3 year plan and also refused to return the double payments. Unfortunately we are going to have to go through the credit card company to get our money back. I have been waiting for a reason to cancel hosting for my other websites and this will do it.

Pros

They make it really easy to take your money.

Cons

Sales is pushy to up-sell for unneeded services. The Customer Service is deplorable.

I liked everything except the email issues, but that was a big enough problem I had to abandon the product.

Pros

Easy to use, lots of options, access to the ftp and PHP editor super intuitive and useful.

Cons

The email would go down regularly. Unreliable email is a huge problem for a business, and they would typically have no solution for me except to wait it out.

Affordable, User-friendly webhosting!

Reviewed on 2024/03/25

Pros

What I like the most about Bluehost is its ease of use. It is very user-friendly and making changes are a breeze.

Cons

While Bluehost isn't as expensive as others, having more affordable plan options would be nice.
