Rakesh, identified and fixed my problem in one session. Very grateful.

Terry Quinn

AI please no. Personal tech support excellent, as always.

AI was unable to handle my questions. After several minutes of working with it, I asked to be connected to a person. After that, all was well. A somewhat subtle issue had cropped up that was compromising access to my website. The representative had to do extensive trouble shooting and finally found the source of the problem. As always, the in-person tech support with Bluehost was excellent.

Doing some cleaning and accidentally deleted all of my business emails. Used the chat help and they had it all resolved in less than 10 minutes. Saved me tons of headaches fast and friendly.

Excellent Support

I've worked with Bluehost before and left (unrelated to bluehost). Now I'm back. I came back because their support is superior! My experience today is no different. All these companies start with the AI chat which is fine for basic questions, but when you know you need more detailed help, I'm so glad to see they put an agent on the chat right away without making you jump through hoops or scroll through irrelevant article! Good Job Bluehost! Keep up the good work!!

Outstanding support and service.

I chatted with support due to trying to set up a few different things I didn't confidently understand. I was just hoping for some guidance but they did all of the updating for me. Couldn't have asked for better support.

The rep was kind

The rep was kind, patient, and willing to assist with several issues. She was very knowledgable about my situation. My problems were resolved in one interaction and now I am able to move forward in my work. I am thankful for her service!

MEJ

Service rep was great handling restore request. Process a little hectic though

My service rep was terrific and very efficient. Answers were clear and quick. If I could change two things I'd slow the process slightly because it got a little hectic at the end and a little confusing between what we could do in Chat vs what needed documented in email.
