The support team member Rushti helped me today. He was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and as a non tech person, I really appreciated the time he spent explaining the issue of malware, and how to resolve it. While doing the post conversation phone survey I accidentally fumbled the key pad and pressed #1. I hope this review rectifies that since it should have been 5 stars accross the board!

Today I experienced a very nice lady on the phone that mentioned that I had 2 business accounts. It turns out that I was paying for two accounts when I only need 1 account. We got that sorted out. I was just about to give up and get all my money back and have nothing to do with bluehost. I am getting a reimbursement for my 1 account. So I am saving a little more money.

I recommend Bluehost for reliable web hosting

My migration from one server to another was somewhat problematic, but Bluehost technical support was very helpful and ultimately my issues were resolved. I have been a customer for over 24 years now, and I still recommend Bluehost for reliable web hosting solutions. Thank you Bluehost.

You made my first purchase easy

Your personal agent made my first purchase easy to understand, and was very patient with my questions and clumsy computer issues. Happily enrolled with a new domain and 1 year of hosting. Thank you for great customer service.

Kris was amazing.I was at the end of my rope... she was so knowledgeable and was probably one of the best customer service people I have ever talked to at BlueHost. She went beyond what I had hoped for and got everything fixed up and I even got to learn a few things. If I could give her 10 stars I would.
