It’s amazing, I got their service 2 days ago and it is already down. It went just when i was doing some work on it. They should at least send an email in advance letting us users know when they plan to do maintenance (if that’s what it is about). But if you have a commercial website, or something else that should be up all the time, that is disastrous. I will probably send them an email with a link to this site.

My advice to anybody who uses Bluehost is to sign up for an external up-time monitoring service. (Pingdom.com, etc.) This way you get the real story on how often your site is down and for how long.

My external monitoring service sends email to me when my site is down, and gives me monthly summaries. This is how I know that my Bluehost site is down for a spell every morning, and that my my Bluehost site was down for TWELVE HOURS last month. Outrageous!

So of course I’m in the process of moving to a different hosting company. Bluehost has been a huge problem for me.

Lo. Just now i got a message when accessing my web site

“The website you are visiting is currently offline due to system maintenance.

In order to give the best filesystem performance possible, and to ensure the integrity of data, a diagnostic process is being performed, and any inconsistencies will be repaired. This process may take approximately 30 to 60 minutes.”

System maintenance without any prior notice, without any intimation and that too on a working day.

Bluehost is the worst host i have ever came across. I plead with everyone who is reading this. NEVER i repeat NEVER go with Bluehost. For the past 1 month my site is down everyday for at least 2 hrs. When i tried to called their customer care support, the guy always has a fixed response “your site is ok from my side. problem may be from your side”. Except his side my website is not visible to anyone else. I wonder why. I wasted my money and time with Bluehost.

I switched to lunarpages from bluehost. My experience with lunarpages has been very very good. Of course, you are going to think that I’m a shill for lunarpages so please check them out on forums and other sources.

The reasons may be unknown to you but I assure you that the rats than run bluehost, hostmoster, and dreamhost, among others, are laughing, with your money, all the way to the bank. Don’t be a sapp, switch to a reputable hosting co befor bluehost really hurts your business.

You are an idiot that should be disregarded. Dreamhost is the same company… but I suspect you are fully aware of that and are just wanting to cheat the same guy twice with two different names

I’ve had bluehost for since june, 2011 and on November 20 at 6:42AM bluehost.com and my website are inaccessible. Prior to bluehost I had Yahoo small business hosting and never NEVER was the site itself or my own site down. This is ridiculous. They should send an notification of planned maintenance or outages. Or like any good IT dept indicate planned maintenance blocks so people can plan accordingly.
