The site says you can purchase bluehost before you choose a domain which I did. It does'nt tell you that if you do, you will be stuck with a wierd username and you have to call in to have your purchased domain manually switched. Then I was told this wouldn't work, that I have to wait 100 hours before domains can be switched and I had to pay for the domain because because I chose it after? Also, Even when I press the i'm finished in the chat box or empty the cache on my computer I still have to completely refresh the site for the chat box to disappear. I am very hopeful that once I'm finished with the beginning setup that things will go more smoothly.
I asked for help concerning the start up of my blog because it claims I don't have an SSL certificate when I purchased the basic hosting plan yesterday. There was an estimated wait time of less than a minute, yet over an hour later I still have not been assisted.
Im not able to aggregate all domains under one user id
I am struggling to get this up and running, but it is most likely my fault not the sites
I wanted to transfer another site of mine here but it doesn't seem that straightforward.
I keep getting knocked out of my site. I try to enter information and a picture on my main home page and it doesn't accept it. Talking with tech. Reps. Did not help (2x).
It was supposed to be simple to create a website but it is anything but simple.
My site keeps giving me an error. I contacted CS yesterday and they had to uninstall something but I am still getting the error.
Not very user friendly or clear process. Site also lags which doesn't give too much confidence
After buying domain, error message, unable to access
The service has been amazing and simple to use. I would recommend Bluehost to all new business.
Your links are broke for email, your delays are complete $#*!. Your Wordpress options have turned to crap and are expensive. How would anyone rate this above a 1?
Support was amazing...I just got my website today and already needed them and they were quick and professional.
I am not getting timely help on chat The bots don't seem to be understanding my requests and people don't seem to be involved. I am trying to cancel my account because it doesn't work for the nonprofit I am working for but now I am thinking that it is good I am canceling my account because the customer service I am experiencing now is so poor
A lot of issues with themes which the representatives are unable to resolve.
The login process was confusing. I tried to sign in with my password, but it wouldn't take it. So i tried to reset it and the password i was just using wouldn't be accepted as it was my previous password. So if i was using the right password, why couldn't i log in?
Connecting Bluehost to Wordpress for google domain is a pain in the $#*!. Also, your chat "help" is of no help at all. I thought my issue would be fairly easy to solve, however, your associate Fahtima kept sending me a link that did nothing for the issue I was trying to solve and would not escalate my problem to someone who could actually help.
This is way more complicated than it needs to be to set up a website. Your platform assumes the average person knows so much termnilogy and why you have to do the things you have to do.
Will not let me change anything won't let me sign in to wordpress
Hosting is very slow loading. Customer support is very slow response. Replying every question few minutes later.
