I set this website up, but haven't had the time to get everything into place, so just completing it was good. Soon I hope to have things completed and up on the web. I like that I get reminders to look at it now and then.

I am well pleased with my interaction with bluehost.com and WordPress. As a new user, I have found it a challenge to learn but I am coming along with the help of a WordPress support subscription.

I have been less than impressed with the wait times both on the live chat and when I'm waiting for issues to be fixed. I had NO website for over a week while I waited for someone to get around to fixing it. Not good enough

I have a problem with the mail and blackmailing from my own mail. Also, in the beggining I had problem setting up the websites.

Most if front agents are not capable to solve our problems and some of them even make it worse. Most of them ask us to leave phone number but no one really called! No one! I don't understand why they refuse to forward un-solved issue to tech team?

Can't verify domain

Can't verify domain. It's been a week and a half. Numerous tech support calls. Very disappointed. Probably need a new Host.

I am switching all our domains and services to another company. We have been without e-mail sending abilities for over two weeks and you have blamed everyone but yourselves and everyone, our ISP service provider, Microsoft themselves and an independent tech company said it is you that are having the problem. You folks have either been dishonest with us or just have incompetent staff.

The renewal fees are extremely high compared with other services and the support is deficient. The price doesn't justify anything.

Updated review

I have wasted hours of time trying to update the email, address, and phone number on this account. After over a week of emails, phone calls, and chats with support agents, it is still not updated.

When the portal works, it's great but I have issues with the staging website so I usually just have to make changes on the live site.
