Persistent and Thorough

Had talked with several agents over months to address email configuration challenges. Kirankumar Pujar was eager to help, courteous and knowledgeable. First time since we switched to the new hosting plan seven months ago that we didn’t have to operate with a work-around configuration.

I've been a loyal Bluehost customer entrusting them with numerous websites for many, many years, and this is by far, the most thorough, knowledgeable and "friendly" agent with whom I've dealt. All my queries were resolved beyond my satisfaction!

Professional and Helpful Customer Service

I had a positive experience with Bluehost customer support. I contacted them regarding a hosting charge that I did not fully understand, and the representative took the time to explain the services associated with my account. After reviewing the details, they confirmed that the hosting plan was not being used for my intended domain and assisted me with a refund request. The refund was approved quickly, and the process was clearly explained. I appreciate the professionalism, patience, and transparency shown throughout the conversation. Thank you for the assistance.
