As a beginner, some parts are pretty complicated and hard to navigate.
I am finding it difficult to grasp how I am to set up a blog on my site. How do I do this?
Hard to set up. Had to call tech support so they fix a DNS and what not. It takes up to 5 hours to be effective.
Too much hustle.
I cannot figure out how to create my website. I am paying for zero web time.
Website not working anymore. Something with DNS I think
I find it hard to even know what I bought because you constantly keep selling me stuff.
I struggle to use your site to actually build and publish my site. I click publish and nothing gets published.
I don't understand anything from your website. I just want to buy a domainname, then make a website in Wordpress and that's it. I don't know anything from computers (well...). It's so user unfriendly and not practical at all.
Need step by step on what to do after signing up...
My customer service experience has been terrible. Plus, I have been trying to get a refund for my unused product and I was told a refund is not available. Refunds should be available for unused products.
Purchased hosting plan but nowhere was it mentioned that i have only limited email options. Highly disappointed.
Created email on here but can't receive text via the mail
Your services has been terrible. This is my first time trying Bluehost and they have charged my card for a service I am not even able to access. I just spent over an hour on the phone with customer support after being told it would take a few minutes to look into and then nobody returned.
After waiting nobody replied. I just want the account cancelled
I want to cancel this account. I cannot find anywhere to contact you for a refund if possible. I am not going to be able to use this.
I bought a second domain so I can create a second website. Everytime I try to create a new website, the new domain is not available for selection.
Answer: NO - please do not go with Bluehost, it will save you a lot of hassle. They have the worst customer service and take your accounts offline just so you upgrade for more money even though the thresholds were not met. This means they are just running a scam by taking your websites offline and then offering the solution to get them back online by paying more money to them. My websites were down for 6 days and I've lost hundreds of dollars in income, have to pay my developers for all the work they did and NONE of it will be refunded by Bluehost. I migrated everything away from them and they do not even want to refund my sign-up costs. It is a total scam run but incapable and money-grabbing people whereas the CEO of Endurance group Jeff Fox made $10.000.000 in 2019 alone and the CEO of Bluehost Suhaib Zaheer $2.300.000. Be aware you do not get scammed by them, I've warned you. They are an evil company run by people with zero morals. I am going to report their theft to the FTC, BBB, and law enforcement. I will not go down without a fight and they will regret stealing from me and other affiliates as their reputation sinks in the toilet.
