I referred them a ton of business before even knowing about their ref... More erral program. And even still, I've only used that program once. The point I'm making is that they were just THAT awesome before. Great uptime, never had any outages, sites were blazing fast, all for $31.99/month. I was so pleased with them I ended up purchasing a few more shared hosting accounts with them, and again, referred a ton of business. Now, their support agents just have a IDGAF attitude about everything. Everyone just seems to hate their jobs. There's no sense of "We really are glad you picked us!" Not even in a phony sense. They don't even use "Please" and "Thank You" in emails. Which I do even when communicating with people I hate. It's just common courtesy. Can't believe how rotten the service has gotten, and they don't seem to give a cr** about customer loyalty. Less	Stay Away from Bluehost. May 24, 2019 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 2.0 User Friendly 2.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 Two months not being able to access an eCommerce website. For the past two months the website is taking over a minute to load... More from any web browser. Most of the tech support staff are in India and are useless. First I was told that my code needed updating. I hired a programmer to look at the code. Then it discovered that we could not FTP to the website. Constantly timing out when you try to FTP.. This used to be a reliable company. Less
