The knowledge of the tech who helped me was top-notch. He also listened closely to my concerns and dealt with each one. For phone support, I found Bluehost employees to be experienced and efficient. Thank you!

Nadeem Kashif

I appreciate your help today. Thank you!

Thank you for your assistance and for guiding me through the disk usage check. I’ll review the disk usage from cPanel and safely reduce the storage and inode usage where possible. Once I bring the account within the required limits, I’ll contact Bluehost again regarding the courtesy migration to MySQL 8. I appreciate your help today. Thank you!

Exceptional Support from Abilash Shenoy! Abilash Shenoy (Manager) provided outstanding support when I ran into an issue with my new website. As soon as I was transferred to him, he resolved the problem in just a few minutes. He expertly reinstalled WordPress, carried out thorough checks, and made sure everything was fully functional so our team could log in and start building right away. His service was prompt, professional, and top-tier. Bluehost needs to hold onto and appreciate top talent like Abilash. Highly recommended!

Excellent service, My issue was fixed in les than 30 minutes and it was caused by something on my end. The tech support managed to find it and to fix it right away. Great work guys.

Successful account renewal problem resolution

Initially the AI chat agent was unable to resolve my account questions. I was transferred to a live chat agent. That agent was very helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. When there seemed to be an unresolvable problem, the agent was able to come up with suggested alternatives. My questions were satisfactorily resolved.

Juliette is the only representative who…

Juliette is the only representative who listened, comprehended my situation and resolved my two issues completely within 13 minutes. I wish she was the only person I could talk to as she is a brilliant problem solver and is direct polite professional kind and no fluff and honest. I have many domains and she literally was ahead scanning my account, ready to answer my questions and understood my nature and issues I had in the past. Calls to bluehost usually average 2 to 3 hours and a waste of my time and require call backs which I dreaded. Juliette is the BEST rep ever, #1 in my book. Thank you Juliette! I wish we could clone you! Listen to the call and use it for trainings.

Had a call into Bluehost about my migration to the dedicated server. I am so grateful to Jesse for clearing up some of the misconceptions I had. He was very patient and knowledgeable. The new website transition is running like a clock now. Thank you once again.

The representative was knowledgeable, helpful and patient.

Christy

Excellent service and agent

Called because my hosting cost was about to double. The representative quickly figured out that the storage issue was due to old unnecessary backups and we were able to delete them. That allowed me to continue with the same plan and the rep also used a coupon code to bring down the cost of the plan. Excellent service, and rep was very helpful and kind!
