I’ve just made the mistake of jumping to Bluehost and now i’m being told all of the things they won’t do where as before I was told of all the the things they would.
But I have to ask why would you recommend Hostgator when it’s owned by the same guy?
Hi CineSight. Hostgator isn’t owned by Bluehost; Hostmonster is. If you’re looking to avoid all of the problems that come with Bluehost, you’ll want to avoid Hostmonster the same way
Thanks for this site it has helped me a lot in deciding to avoid BlueHost like the plague. I can only imagine they are paying review sites well in order to get recommended, because they are the number one recommended hosting on most hosting review sites! But even more serious is that they are recommended so highly by WordPress and that had me hovering over the BlueHost sign up button. But a gut feeling had me doing a last minute check and led me to this site. Thanks!
Software vendor Carina Software has been hit by Bluehosts’ terms of service for having too many people interested in their software:
“At approximately 6:20 AM PDT this morning, we recieved a call from our web-hosting provider, bluehost.com, asking us to suspend the one-cent download offer for our Voyager and SkyGazer desktop software. Demand was so high that our automated serial-number generator, which emails serial numbers to customers, was sending out several thousand emails per hour – putting us in violation of our Terms of Service (TOS) agreement, and causing our email service to be suspended.”
They cut my site because they told me that my accoun expires for non payment.
So I show them that my payment is good for more thant 8 months (aprox), and they change the reason for another like I make some technical problem whit my site.
Well the thing is: They told me a reason in first instance. They know that they made a mistake and then try to find another reason.
I guess I can take this case to judge and maybe get some paymente for the error of bluehost.com
Can you tell me if there´s some option here????
I´m not in USA, I´m in Bolivia, but I guess the law can help me in this case.
I have all the mails and proofs of the mistake of bluehost.com
