Sup guys…I’ve decided to start a blog, and I’m looking for affordable and reliable web hosting. The first option that comes to mind is Bluehost, especially since I found a discount link that offers 75% off, along with a free domain name and SSL.
Up until now, I’ve been using GoDaddy to post my content, but I want to move away from it. I’ve looked into a few other options besides Bluehost, but based on what I’ve read on Reddit, their services are similar yet more expensive. Bluehost seems to be the cheapest.
I’m a bit torn since I’ve heard mixed reviews about Bluehost’s customer support and performance. Has anyone here had experience with Bluehost for a WordPress blog? Is it worth it to go with them, or should I consider other options?
I had a terrible experience with Bluehost. Their customer service was really bad. I had to make many calls and chats just to solve simple problems, and I kept getting different answers. Eventually, I decided to switch to Big Scoots, but canceling my account was almost impossible. After several calls where they said it was canceled, I still got charged for things. Finally, I had to ask for a manager to help me. I usually stay calm with customer service because I used to work at a call center, but this was too much. There were always random charges that didn’t get canceled. In the end, I couldn’t fix it, so I reported my credit card as lost and got a new number.
I definitely recommend Bluehost! I use it myself and paid for three years upfront because it was cheaper than paying for one year. So far, everything has been good, and their customer service is great.
I definitely do not recommend Bluehost. It seems like every website that suggests them is just trying to earn a commission from their discount code, and they’re not actually using Bluehost themselves.
