I had an issue with my email account…

I had an issue with my email account sending out 3000+ emails a day that I did not send. My representative was very helpful in that. He advised that I should delete that domain account and then open an email professional account. Not only did it take care of my problem. It also saved me a substantial amount of money.

Amy Kesler

Inconsistent knowledge

In talking to Sam today, she was very knowledgeable and helpful. But in talking to some of your other technical people has not a great experience and caused me a great deal of frustration because there was nothing consistent in their knowledge level. They either didn't give me the full information that I needed to know, or didn't know it at all. You really need to do better training.

Kris was terrific

Kris was terrific. Got my problem taken care of once the systemic problem allowed my call to go through. No problems once she was involved. But then, ALL your people are always terrific.

Kirankumar was very knowledgeable and helpful. I never felt rushed, and he answered every question I had. By the end of the interaction, I felt very confident in my purchase. I really appreciated his patience and support.

WB

Best shared hosting available

Between solid pricing and a solid support experience, likely the best shared host available. I've used Bluehost for many, many years and the price can't be beat. The support sometimes doesn't have the answers, but they get them eventually.

Musalam Ramy

I had an issue with a hosting renewal and was honestly very stressed about it, but Karthik from Bluehost support was incredibly helpful and professional throughout the entire process. He was patient, kind, and resolved everything I needed quickly and clearly. Customer support experiences like this really make a difference. Thank you, Karthik, for the excellent assistance and for making the whole situation much easier to handle. Truly appreciated!

Martins Judy

My agent was knowledgeable, patient (I am elderly) and explained things very thoroughly! He resolved my problem right away and explained what had been done. Definitely an A+++

After the many hours spent on the phone with questions and repairs of a multitude of items, this was delightful! I am elderly, and your agent was polite, patient and explained things so I could understand. What a pleasure! He resolved my issues quickly, waited until I tried it, and explained what he did. Definitely an A+++

Comprehensive, courteous support

I received quick, clear assistance in completing an account ownership change. The technician stayed on the line to make sure I was able to complete each step of the process and was patient and courteous in addressing all my questions. The security steps included in the process appear to be sufficient to protect the service without being overly cumbersome. I was able to complete my portion of the task while on the call.
