Good, but there are too many details can be overwhelming sometimes
The site is very confusing for a non techy...I am quite lost...
Still new and learning things. Might feel more streamlined to build the site further down the road
I HATE this d*** pop up box asking for my opinion (which sloooows me down --especially since it 1st poppe dup 5 seconds into my site visit.
Im learning but it seems bluehost might of started charging for every little ticket item. Super lame if true. Will keep giving feed back to show my experience.
The Bluehost and WordPress integration is honestly clunky. On Bluehost it suggests competing products for SEO management however does not explain the differences between them.
Very difficult to start my website. I chose my template and stopped for the day. Next time i signed on it was gone today i start over from scratch
Please stop asking me to rate. I have provided feedback about 5 times already.
Thank you, please don't prompt me for a review again
I don't know what I'm doing, not the website's fault.
I have just created an account and cant even edit the website. Very frustrating and im not sure the solution offered will work but i have to wait 48 hours to find out
Sometimes I can log in and sometimes I can't with the same password. Not sure what is going on. Also im having trouble with my imap and smtp address. My other email accounts aren't allowing me to add emails from new website because the password only works 10% of the time.
WordPress is very hard to use and many of the features don't work.
My whole website was deleted and nobody's responding from Customer Service.
This is unprofessional.
It's very complex to navigate and the are no guiding templates
I cant connect anything to ftps, it wont let me use anything without constant issues
Not very intuitive -struggling to muddle my way through
Difficult to use. Little information. Cant log in.
Not at all user friendly
I've had trouble logging into my account. I needed to work with a customer service rep on the Chatbot who eventually gave me a new cryptic username that I need to use to login from now on. This isn't reflected in my Setting/privacy page so I just need to keep this cryptic login now in order to view my account. Seems weird and not very user friendly
I bought an observer template and now I can't find 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.
