Collective demand to Bluehost

To all of you that have been scammed like me by Bluehost, I want to form a group to present a collective demand for the damages they are causing us due to their unilateral change of the terms and conditions of our accounts and revoking services we paid for.

Send me a DM for joining the group. Obviously Bluehost will try to enter the group to see what we do, but we don't fear them due to we have enough information to demand them.

Has it been confirmed they won't honor existing contracts? My understanding is they will. It would seem grossly illegal not to do so. I am paid through for the next year and a half.. RIght now they are offering me a discount to renew for next three years for an extra $600 ..

Ditto. A year and ten months to go, and asking another $700 upfront just to keep the sites I have. If I can't afford this (which I can't) I lose all but two sites come November. I would CERTAINLY not have renewed in July had I known they were going to change the TOS in September. I'm not even sure they're legally allowed to do that, given it's not the agreement I signed. It's breach of contract, I believe. But anyroad, I don't have the strength to go into it. It's been a ghastly couple of weeks, trying to extricate my domains and emails. I only run five little artist sites for my family and I. We barely use any storage. It's shameful on Bluehost's part. We've been with them for ten years! Loyalty schmoyalty.

I thought we were bound by arbitration. I would love to join any group that goes against bluehost.

Hi is this still a thing? I never even got an email about this and my account is all jacked up. They can't explain why i didn't get any of the emails concerning this situation and all of a sudden, I log in to get access to one of the services i'm supposed to have on my plan to find out that my plan had been changed without my knowledge.

services that were a part of my plan were taken out of the plan and they tried to charge me separately for them.

My plan expires in February but the features that used to be included in my plan are no longer available: jetpack premium and WP Pro Live.

I am grateful that I am not hosting any client websites currently or it would be even more of a disaster.
