A Humbling Experience with Mr. Thousif Mahamed and the Team – My Apologies and Gratitude

I want to give credit to Mr. Thousif Mahamed and his team for their professionalism. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I completely lost my cool today—and, in hindsight, I was in the wrong.

The process started a bit rocky for me, as I was waiting longer than expected for my website after payment. The initial setup went smoothly, but the subdomains confused me, and I felt there weren’t enough instructions. I ended up frustrated and took that out on the support team. I accused them of being slow, unhelpful, and of delaying things, when in reality, the issue was entirely on my end.

After I demanded to speak with Mr. Mahamed, he stayed calm, respectful, and understanding. He patiently listened to my concerns and addressed my accessibility needs. It was only after speaking with him that I realized I had already done everything correctly. The website was working fine—my frustration was all about the speed, which is beyond anyone's control. If I had just been patient and listened, I could’ve resolved it in minutes.

Thanks to Mr. Mahamed and his team, my issue was solved, and I ended up canceling my earlier request to cancel the service. I’m embarrassed but also grateful. I will definitely be more patient in the future and highly recommend Bluehost based on this experience.

Hi,
Thanks so much for this honest and thoughtful review, we really appreciate the transparency and the shoutout to Mr. Thousif Mahamed and his team. It takes a lot to step back and reflect like that, and we’re glad we could turn things around together. Subdomains can definitely be tricky at first, and we’re here for all the bumps and learning curves along the way.

We're so glad you stayed with us. Here’s to smoother (and speedier) days ahead!

Great customer support

I had an issue tonight where my server went down because I forgot to renew it, and I spoke to Thousif Mahamed in customer support and it was fixed and back up in under five minutes. Lovely customer service. I’ve been with Bluehost over twenty years now and remain very happy

Thousif Mahamed was finally able to resolve the issue that I have been trying to get resolved for several months. While it was finally resolved and Thousif deserves praise and recognition, it should not have taken me contacting Bluehost more than 5 separate times to resolve the problems that it had created.

Exceptional Support from Bluehost

I recently had a critical issue with my website - it was down, and FTP access was blocked. I urgently contacted Bluehost's support, and Tipu and Thousif, their support agents, provided outstanding assistance. They patiently guided me through the step on restoring our website. Even setup me up a phone call with their security expert to discuss things that will enhance the security of the website. Bluehost's commitment to customer satisfaction is simply the best.

No doubt Bluehost is one of the great hosting provider, the best thing with BH their 24/7 support is free, they help you with almost everything i.e. email creation, hosting issues, malware issues, DNS etc. Its been more than 14 years working with BH. Specially there is guy name "Thousif Muhammad" helps you for free even those are not free services but he does help with his immense knowledge.

After WordPress 6.3 update, wp-admin did not work

After my WordPress was automatically updated to 6.3, I lost access to wp-admin. After spending about four hours trying to figure out how to fix it, I chatted with Thousif Mahamed. Within a few minutes, he fixed it. Very responsive. Very effective.

Great Support Team

Bluehost support has continued to help me out with errors that I would not be able to fix on my own. Their support team has been so helpful. Recently I had a terrible error on my website and support member Thousif Mohamed took the time to help me step-by-step. I didn't realise Bluehost keeps a backup of websites! I am so grateful. I am now waiting to have the backup installed. Thank you Thousif for your help (and I also just made a charity donation to a cat and dog rescue in your name!)

I'm delighted with the service I've recieved from Thousif Mahamad - my sister constructed my website a few years ago, but sadly passed away recently. I've tried to make changes but not being technically minded completely messed it up. I got on chat with Thousif and the site was fixed in about 10 minutes - I'm so thankful!

Thousif Mahamed was very helpful

Thousif Mahamed was very helpful, friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable! He got me to get my SSL certificate completed with his help. I was so confused and I know without him I would have messed it all up. I wish I could have tipped him but he said it was against company policy. He spent over an hour and a half with me in order to get everything the way it’s supposed to be completed. I cannot thank him enough and I wish I could give him 1,000 stars!!!!
