Chat feature is amazing, your customer support is amazing, must be amazing for a really hard time navigating through your website.
Not realising that a new domain requires being linked to the "primary domain" has given me issues that cannot be resolved online and offline support seems to be weekdays only.
It's ok. The user friendliness is a bit "eh." Took me awhile to realize that logging into bluehost does not log me into WordPress. And I'm still unsure how to edit any pages for posting‍
Can figure out Wordpress. Importing "demo" sites dont work on first try. Not easy editing demo site. Not for beginners
I paid far more than I had bargained for and I found it all very confusing for a novice. I had blogs years ago when things were much simpler and straightforward.
Not recognizing login credentials for our account. Multiple attempt combinations as requested; finally logged in...
I am completely lost on creating my site...jumping back and forth from wordpress.org and com...very confusing and I have built sites before with godaddy and wix
I have never had so much trouble creating a website in my life.
It is quite complicated to find good resources on how to implement python code onto my website here.
The site is not intuitive for creating a Wordpress website. Difficulty with themes, controls within blocks, etc.
Not too bad. I now have heaps of time to set everything up so will try and get the basic part undertaken. Just find it very confusing with so many offers, so many things that system tells you that you need to do before you can setup just a basic blog. The good news is I have heaps of time, just looks like I will be teaching myself about Bluehost/Wordpress over the next few months rather than actually using it!
Were getting there I'm just don't have the knowledge on what to next and done the right way
I'm just learning and probably should ask for help more often.
I cannot figure out how to set my site up in word press. It is very difficult.
So far just learning, but excited about the journey
Ah, this has been very frustrating! So far I would not recommend this at all.
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.
