Really Solid Support Team!

I have now had to call support at Bluehost twice in the last month or two (we're making some big changes to our site.) We are an all volunteer organization without a ton of tech knowledge and there have been a lot of people with their hands in our account over the years, so there are some "messes". At any rate, I've been helped a bit by bots, but have easily escalated to a person when needed and those people have gone above and beyond to help me. They're kind, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable.

Excellent customer service

I've been using Bluehost for years, but I had an issue whereby I couldn't access my website, either front end of admin side. I used the Bluehost online chat and the assistant was incredibly helpful, and it was all resolved in around half an hour. Superb customer service

I am a novice with Tech...Quick solution

I am a novice with Tech, The website indicated a critical issue and I was unable to access the site. Contacting the chat and getting past the AI, I was able to talk to a human who solved the issue within 2 minutes. Great Job!
