I called about a confusing email I received from Microsoft regarding my subscription to their software and its relationship to Bluehost, the web hosting service and your customer service rep was able to access my account information and explain the situation clearly and concisely. She was pleasant and professional.

Challenges with email not working on another site

The representative was very knowledgeable and courteous. He helped me resolved an issue in 20 minutes that I had been trying to get my email host to resolve for more than a week. Another site currently host my website and email, with Bluehost hosting my domain name only. I will be switching everything to Bluehost.

Human Beats AI Hands Down

I first worked by chat and phone with the AI support system. AI gal led me into editing my .htaccess file. Despite our best efforts, I broke the site I was working on and all the others I host at BlueHost. Fortunately, I was able to quickly restore the original .htaccess file. I tell this story to illustrate how much better my support was when AI gal passed me to your live technician. He saw that I was on the learning curve with WordPress Blocks and the Bluehost Blueprint theme, and showed me where to go to do what I needed to do. He was fast, knowledgeable, and a clear communicator.

Primary Domain and Sub-Domains Realized!!!

I have a business model that involves an enterprise with several divisions and regions. Bluehost allows me to be cost-effective by creating a primary domain and several subdomains. This allows investors to access top-level information about the corporation and its divisions . Concurrently, clients can access information about the desired products and services from a specific division in the region they need.

I have little Internet domain experience. This company identified a mistake made by me, and resolved my problem in under a minute. This is why I've always recommended them to other friends. Our experience has always been exceptional and professional. Thank goodness for experts.

Resolving issues

When I had some issues - on my side, not theirs- the chat was excellent in resolving them. For me, this is one of the most important aspects of a hosting site.

I was having a frustrating time after installing a "premium" theme for my new website. After a few back and forths with their chatbot it connected me with a live agent, Harshitha Shivamallappa. Harshitha did an excellent job finding and fixing my problem quickly. Plus, recommended a purchase that would help me in case I needed a solid backup of my work. Thank you Bluehost!

Quick response on a mistaken renewal

I've retired and closed my website 18 months back. Because auto renew was on, Bluehost renewed my service and billed my card. For some reason, there was no email renewal notice (as there had been three years before). John on the Bluehost billing team quickly and courteously reversed the transaction - which was most welcome.

Gordan Paunovic

Excellent Support for a Complex Email Deliverability Issue

Great support experience. I had a complex hosting/email deliverability issue, and Bluehost support patiently helped me through malware scan, DNS checks, and DKIM troubleshooting. Jawad understood the issue clearly and escalated it properly to the server admin team. Very professional and helpful.
