I don’t really make comments or the likes but I felt compelled to sign up just to write here.
I was advised by a friend to join BlueHost as they had been good for him but unfortunately I had pretty much the same experience as all here seemed to have.
That’s all of them together!
I had a nightmare and the issues with the one-click install were unbelievable. Shannablas.. I totally sympathise.
I had problems from the beginning like having to contact the support just to get my hosting “white-papered” even after confirming my account. The one-click was not working which seems to be an ongoing problem. I couldn’t even go through the long winded effort of installing WordPress myself. The MySql was down (probably depressed) and displaying an error that was so long it would take up about fifty lines to show here. It was just not working but according to the chat team it was! They suggested I change my cPanel theme to see if it would fix the problem which meant having to learn how to sign up and log into the “Web Host Manager”, understand it all and then attempt to change to a theme which as it turned out, didn’t even exist.
Their answer was “Oh! You’ll have to try and download some new themes then.” which meant another troll through more verbiage than the Bible.
Like Shannablas I had the same problem with the “chat” team sometimes being off hand and, with one tech in particular, being just blatantly arrogant.
Isn’t Support supposed to support?
Sounds like a tongue twister but it’s the whole point really. Got very little. So little in fact that after 18 days of having no website I decided to cancel and get my money back.
They gave it back….so they CAN get something right!
I really wanted to give them another chance as I know that BlueHost has the facilities to suit me but after the last couple of day having a scout for good and bad BlueHost points…the bad outweigh the good.
I don’t think I’ll bother.
