My site was losing rankings due to slow loading of the pages. You recently added (or made easy to find) a control to reboot the server, and that has made a big difference. It should have been in place a long time ago.
Thank you for adding that.

Blue host and their systems are unreliable, difficult, slow. Now extremely expensive. Nothing to like.

The responsiveness of the back office web pages could be faster.
Some times the back off is not available.
Otherwise. OK

The recurrent question about domain privacy should be removed after the 1st time.

December 17, 2023

It is clunky and things quit working. For instance I need to refund shipping costs which I have done at times before. Now you get the eternal spinning wheel and the refund never goes through.

December 17, 2023

I've used Bluehost for a very long time. I feel like the company I originally decided to use so long ago has since been sold a few times. The current admin tools focus so much on WordPress, that I have trouble finding all of the tools I used to be able to access right from my dashboard.

My site is down more than it is 100% functional. My clients are complaining, and there is nothing that I can do about it.

The new portal setup is ridiculous some settings are hidden in places, (like DNS settings), some are in cPanel, chaos all around.

There has still not been a clear resolution to my emails being blacklisted by Google and some other places. Otherwise there would have been more stars.
