hey people. just woke up to see that my bluehost hosting is suspended because of some "(reason: Backups/Storage Constraints)" ... i never received any warning or something from them before this hosting disable notice, so i have like 100 sites offline just because of them decided to disable my hosting at saturday without any warning, now that is a pimpin business practices! stay away of them if you dont like to see your business fucked into the ass from some lame amateurs! what a pimpin way to say good bye after four years of service ...

btw that hosting was filled like two years ago when i decided its full already enough for me and from then i dont upload there anything anymore ... so, they have just found after two years of storage that there is something wrong ... what a pimps!

Yes, fuck them. I used to host with them, when I was just getting started before I even started doing adult sites. Then one of my WP installs got hacked and I contacted their support for help with it and and they said: "we'll look into it" then they shut off my account and tried to keep billing me.

Just yesterday they contacted me trying to get me to reinstate my account (full of websites built on expired domains) and advised me that a domain I don't even own will expire soon.

If they were a real service company they should have given you a headsup

Im not shocked or surprised that web hosts treat their customers like that but people are very enlightened nowadays. How do bluehost make money when they treat clients that way, afterall web hosting is such a competitive business ?

Treat your clients good and it will spread.

I would advise both of you to write a review of your experiences with bluehost here, that way others will see what's going on.

Use their live chat, I have a Blue Host account and that's the quickest way to get a hold of tech support...

I host a lot of mainstream sites there, and they used to be one of my favorite hosts, but about 2 years ago they were bought out by EIG and ever since their support has gone downhill...

Not good but... if you have so many sites, why don't you host them on your own server?

Won't the smarter move be to move them all on several cloud servers?
