The site is super slow every time I get on it. I just joined today.
Terrible experience. The support chat is waste of time. They know nothing and can do nothing. They cannot even check the status of your pending tasks, they cannot give any specific info. They just keep thanking you for calling and waiting.
The phone support is even worse. They keep you waiting on the line for tens of minutes and all they can say in the end is that they were unable for fix the issue and promise to email or call back. They will never call you or email you back, and even if they do so, they just thank you for your patience! Crazy terrible customer service. Think twice before making any purchase with them.
The chat support is very slow, it took me two hours to get something fixed when I signed up last night because in between messages they take 10 minutes or more to respond to most messages
As a beginner, I'm pretty lost! I've been able to figure out how to get the basic needs done, but nothing more. There have been few walkthroughs. I'll admit though that I still need to go through more tips & tricks articles, but I wish there had been something at the beginning to find out that I'm a total newbie and force me to sit and get a walkthrough.
Can't find a way to host simple html file (not WordPress), support is unreachable
I cannot get the hosting service for my existing domain even though I selected "use existing domain" when I bought the hosting plan.
I am extremely frustrated with trying to set up a simple WP blog. I do not understand how WP and Bluehost interface and find myself working on both platforms and getting almost nowhere.
I have just created an account and paid for it and the panel is already giving me dead screens and not functioning.
I can't figure out how to find pages, how to change them once I chose a template, and how to get my blog up and running. It is very frustrating and I am fairly computer literate.
I am having an issue to migrate from wordpress.com to bluehost. I have contacted to bluehost support twice and no help. I am very frustrated and so sad that I got bluehost.
This is very confusing. I don't know how to check my email. I didn't select my username but now I can't change it. I can't connect my site to wordpress. Nothing is really going right so far.
Maybe i'm not experienced, I probably am not, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to make the website look the way that I want it to.
Dns problem. Blocked from a desktop. No access to email. Cloudflare issue.
I used professional services to help migrate my website. There is a piece missing, and yesterday, I tried for over an hour to get someone to help resolve it to no avail. Only being able to use chat and not having someone I can contact directly during migration is a terrible experience.
I am trying again this morning to get this done and no one seems to want to help.
Nothing is loading, and every time i try to login, it say invalid credentials. Then when and if I finally get logged in, it wont let me do anything. I cant customize anything.
I had a lot of difficulty setting up a password that would allow me to finally sign in and use the site
Steep learning curve. Would be nice to have better entry tutorials on where to find things/how to use the platform
Having a difficult time understanding how to best work with Wordpress. From within Wordpress or within Bluehost. Definitely not intuitive
I am new to trying to set up my own website. It has been incredibly frustrating trying to connect the domain name to bluehost. I feel like I spent $100 for nothing.
