I was having SSL issues

I was having SSL issues. My SSLs had expired for a few of my sites and I could not figure it out. I started chatting with BlueHost and Luckily got Rakesh G. He worked diligently on the back end to fix the issues and install the certs manually. He is an absolute rock star. Could not have gotten it done without him!!! 5 stars!

Had website go off-line unexpectedly

Had website go off-line unexpectedly. 2 possible causes. AI helped identify one with immediate step to take, but live support agent via chat was able to quickly see the other issue AND get website functioning again. From a hosing standpoint, they have been solid support for us for many years now.

Offshore call centers can be difficult

Offshore call centers can be difficult, but the call center agent I spoke had a good command of the English language. I needed to cancel my domain privacy protection at $15 annual up-charge. Very expensive and can be had for free elsewhere. Agent took care of it and was easy to understand through the accent.

Zino Pece

Renewed my domain name and added protection. There were some issues with ID and payment method and all was resolved quickly and easily.

My website was running with a very slow response time, so my Tech, Muhaimeen, worked his magic and found the issue, made some tweaks, and it began working much faster almost immediately, and he said it would speed up more within 24 hours. Great service!

If I could leave 10 stars I would!! After spending more hours than I care tell you learning about adding a DMARC in our cPanel, in the end, I contacted your support team and they were able to add it in, maybe 5 minutes of support time total! I'm just too much of a novice. SO THANK YOU AGAIN for spectacular service. Now I can get back to the work of updating my wordpress website.
