It is alright, but not much help to teach you how to build your website.
Took forever to get the hosting even functioning. I felt like I was stuck in a hosting timewarp from 20 years ago.
Nothing actually works so far! Just a string of different error messages!
I am completely new to this design world but have been in technology for 20+ years. WordPress popped up and then other design products & editors. I think I was supposed to select just one, but the whole process is confusing. I was hoping for simple steps to just follow.
I'm very very very new to website making, I feel like it's not as simple as its made out to be
Ftp information unclear. No email about ftp sent and difficult to use
Great …. Very easy and straight forward. It also have great features
Very difficult to navigate when trying to build or edit anything on this site
Support had poor communication skills when used via chat.
Compared to other hosts that cost the same, this has less basic features like not even a single mailbox for a default email.
I am battling to import my old WordPress site. But that is not the fault of this new site. Just teething problems I suppose.
Had an issue I thought would be resolved...apparently not...currently on hold...been waiting for almost 10 minutes...
Started website using google log in. Then google log in stopped working and had to contact support to have password reset. Overall, not a great start.
No eh podido enviar correos desde mi servidor SQL
I am still trying to get my issue resolved. Slow feed back, unhelpful responses.
Cannot get theme to install - frustrating way to start the day
This is so confusing and difficult to setup my business. I paid for a package to automate this process and it has been one big headache. Every time I try to get help ai puts me on with someone who has no idea what they are doing. I have been sent to blogs more questions or just left on hold!
Your service SUCKS! I have to resent my password every single time I want to login...HORRIBLE! The worst!
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.
