Very positive support experience

Very positive support experience. I had accidentally auto-renewed services I no longer used and contacted support to sort things out. The representative was very clear, patient and professional, helped me understand the distinction between hosting and domains, and resolved everything in one interaction, including arranging the appropriate refund and cancellations. Much appreciated.

Blue Host SUCKS

Blue Host SUCKS? Well they used to be amazing... then from ~2021-2025 they were AWFUL. But they seem to be making a comeback in 2026. The last 3 times I had to contact support they've been terrific. Also, many of the things that had broken (e.g. not being able to login through Chrome) are slowly being fixed. Here's hoping for a bright future.
