GIVE IN THIS GUY MORE MONEY!!! THE BEST!!!
The support person was knowledgeable, courteous, and able to get my issued resolved in a minimum amount of time. I could ask for a higher level of support.
I am 83 years old, computer skills limited. Problem: You send email containing verification number, if you send the V # to cell would be easier for people like me, this is the way my other accounts are setup. I was on hold for about 20 mins. before able to speak to person in customer service, the lady I conversed with did a professional job a supplying me with needed information. This person rates 5 star with me. Dale
Excellent and very helpful service. The agent understood my situation and provided a great solution. Highly recommended!
help solve my problem
courteous rep who resolved my problem quickly
Great customer service
The technical support was excellent.
The salesperson (Vishal) was very knowledge and very polite. Vishal answered all my questions and I signed up with Bluehost for 3 years of hosting.
Didn't waste a lot of time with the AI assist, sent me to live assistant quickly. Almost no time on hold. And my live assistant, Harshitha Shivamallappa, understood what I needed and solved my issue. She even suggested (and performed) an update that I hadn't thought of.
I have been with Blue host for over 10 years. Never had an issues with them. Would recommend.
Had what appeared to be a cach problem. Could upload files all day long with FTP, but site never updated at our end. Turned out to be a caching issue with Starlink. Switched to mobile data and site appeared as it should. Thanks to Neha Suvarna for solving my problem. Addled brains don't work well with PC's, late at night. :-)
Karthik Shetty saved the day! On google, my website had a favicon and site title of the other website in my account. My website was also only populating under my temporary bluehost url. When i googled myself it was the temporary bluehost url, which looks terrible and unprofessional. Karthik Shetty helped me find the source of the issue, which was google, walked me through the changes to make in google console. Now, I am waiting until google makes the necessary changes. Once they do, I have full trust that Karthik Shetty got me all fixed up. Karthik Shetty deserves a raise and employee of the month!
Vashal resolved my issue, no problem
Great customer service
unfortunately our hosting cost almost doubled in 3 years and the staff worked with us to decrease the cost. Unfortunately the cost maybe out of our non profits budget. customer service was great and helpful.
The support staff member that helped today was excellent. He understood my complicated issue and put a good amount of time in to resolve it. He checked in with me throughout the process to let me know how things were going. I am very pleased with the help that I received.
The AI was able to answer most of my questions but there were some things I wanted a verification on from a human. After talking to a person, I found the AI had in fact answered my questions properly. One thing that would be great is if I could talk to the AI, instead of typing. I am not a good typer and it would go so much faster if I could dictate.

An SSL certificate, also called a digital certificate, uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols to create an encrypted connection. It protects sensitive data, like passwords and credit card numbers, during online transactions.
You can easily activate your Free SSL in just a few steps:
When a browser connects, the server sends a digital certificate. During the SSL handshake, your browser and the website securely share keys. This process creates an encrypted connection that keeps sensitive information safe. This TLS connection ensures data like login credentials and credit card numbers stay secure and unreadable.
Certificate authorities issue Domain Validated (DV), Organization Validated (OV) and Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates. In addition, Wildcard and multi-domain certificates secure multiple websites or subdomains. Extended Validation certificates display a padlock in the address bar, verifying digital identity and building customer trust.
Free SSL certificates use Let’s Encrypt for basic protection. Premium SSL, verified by a trusted third-party certificate authority, includes stronger encryption, extended validation options and warranty coverage. It also provides a visible site seal, helping establish trust and protect sensitive data for businesses.
SSL certificates encrypt information, authenticate your website domain and establish trust with internet users. They prevent data from being intercepted in plain text, boost SEO rankings, show the padlock icon in the address bar and protect online transactions and medical records.
Go to your Bluehost Marketplace or Security tab, select a premium TLS certificate plan and complete payment. The certificate authority then verifies your identity through a validation process. This validation process provides stronger encryption, extended validation and advanced protection for sensitive online transactions and businesses.
You can renew your SSL certificate quickly by following these steps:
Yes. On VPS or dedicated hosting, you can upload your certificate signing request in Web Host Manager (WHM). It installs the digital certificate and enables “Always Redirect to HTTPS.” This ensures all websites and clients have access to a secure connection using SSL and TLS.
Without SSL, your browser shows “Not Secure” in the address bar. Internet users risk data theft when credit card numbers or login credentials are transmitted in plain text. Lack of a digital certificate damages trust, SEO rankings and online transaction security.
Google rewards websites using SSL certificates and TLS certificates with better SEO rankings. Internet users trust websites showing https, a padlock icon. These signals establish digital identity, protect data and encourage customers to stay secure. For Jetpack Security, SiteLock Essentials, or CodeGuard backups.
Common issues include expired certificates, untrusted certificate authorities or mismatched website domains. When the browser attempts to connect and the server sends an invalid digital certificate, users may see warnings. Regular renewal and proper setup help encrypt information and establish trust.
Bluehost includes free SSL certificates via Let’s Encrypt. Premium SSL Certificates are available at an additional cost, depending on the validation type. Extended validation certificates and wildcard certificates provide stronger encryption and warranty coverage. They also enhance digital identity protection, making them ideal for businesses handling sensitive data and online transactions.
Look in the browser address bar: a padlock icon and https indicate a secure connection. During the SSL handshake, the server sends a digital certificate verified by a trusted third party. This proves encryption, establishes trust and protects sensitive data.
