Wordpress keeps asking me to log in but will not accept my username or password. Then i followed your links to customize the theme. I did that. Yet my home page does not look anything like what I designed. Your chat support was no help.
Somehow, while checking available domain names, I typed my desired domain name to check the availability and my screen displayed that it was available. I chose the continue button, was then transferred to the account, package and payment screen. After filling out this page, I clicked submit, then clicked create account on the next page. On the next page is when I noticed the mistake in the domain name. The name I checked availability on and chose was not the name displayed in the username field. Of course I couldn't change the username so I chose my password and hoped there was a way to fix it inside of Bluehost. I looked around and eventually decided to start a chat with Prajwal. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. The original domain name I desired was apparently occupied. I had another option, Prajwal secured it for me and I will be calling back when I get off work to change the primary domain name. The experiences that I have had with website customer service departments has not been the best but this time was definitely different. I appreciate Prajwal and his help!
I didnt get help day one or two. Im trying to complete the breakouts and being told find help other places. HUUUUU
I am Legally blind so it has been difficult. I felt when I called the person was impatient with me even though I told them I was legally blind.
It is not easy to navigate this website for people like me who do not fully understand the termonolgy. It also won't let me access the chat so I can get help.
Gran plataforma, el soporte online se quedó un poco corto, responden pero pueden dejarte botado.
Not at all user friendly.
Hell lot of additional addons to get thereal worth out of it
So please clearly mention that what the user is hetting is bare minimum with a basic subscription.
Poor free templates that are just name sake
Well, to tell you the truth I am just starting and I will have to answer that question at another time.
Not user friendly and chat help not live. I purchased a domain and it wont activate, instead its asking me to purchase another 2 years and security up sales. Ridiculous!
I am on the site less than 2 minutes and you have asked me to do a survey three times. How would i know, i just go here. Also, i have clicked on chat twice, and instead of getting the help i need, this survey pops up. That is not good service
Sales misled me to believe about a certain setting. 3 agents confirmed that the php setting that i needed can be done. After buying the plan, it turned out it can't be done. EDUCATE YOUR SALES AGENTS ABOUT THE PRODUCT!
I've tried to call several times. I'm put on hold music and then they just hang up. I'm in a training this weekend and WorkPress needs to work but it give me connection errors. I can't do the weekend class without it.
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.
