I was in a digital marketing bootcamp about a year and a half ago, and my trainer suggested that I use Bluehost right away rather than WordPress.com. I have been having a lot of issues with them, like duplicate websites appearing. Do you realize how risky that is, considering I have clients, that whenever they help me, occasionally they crash on my websites?
Should I look for a new hosting company, and if so, which one?
I quit as soon as they were bought out and started moving all support overseas. They are so bad it’s not even funny. If you had seen the things the level 1 agents did to troubleshoot a site, you would cringe.
When I first started my website. Like you, I encountered problems with site performance and stability, which was frustrating, especially when clients experienced crashes. After doing some research and asking around, I decided to switch to SiteGround. The transition was smooth, and I immediately noticed a significant improvement in site speed and uptime. Their customer service was also incredibly responsive and helpful during the migration process.
If reliability and performance are critical for your business, I’d recommend looking into SiteGround or other reputable hosting companies like WP Engine or A2 Hosting. Switching made a world of difference for me and my clients’ experience.
I’ve been using Bluehost for more than 10 years (on a few of my niche sites).
It’s an excellent web hosting platform for those who want to host their WordPress sites at affordable prices.
Bluehost is used by over 2 million websites in the world.
WordPress itself officially recommends Bluehost (since 2005).
I’ve done some research on Bluehost’s performance and customer satisfaction, and it seems like there are some valid complaints about their service. Many users report frequent downtime, slow loading speeds, and poor customer support from Bluehost. The company has received below average ratings from review sites like TrustPilot and ConsumerAffairs. However, Bluehost is one of the largest web hosts, so experiences can vary. If you’re having ongoing issues, it may be worth looking into alternative hosts like SiteGround, HostGator or DreamHost that tend to have better reputations for uptime and support. But if Bluehost is working well for your specific needs, it’s likely fine to stick with them. The best web host depends on your particular requirements. If you’re not satisfied, don’t hesitate to explore other options.
