Your new user account experience is very frustrating. I logged in and was trying to set up my email, instead it kept showing me Create New WEbsite landing page. I had to be on customer service to understand where to go and create my email because I couldn't see the left navigation nor I could logout.

Pathetic Services
April 12, 2023

I am sitting at my laptop screen for the last 7 days & didn't sleep because my all 9 websites are down with 1 Online store. This is my 37th chat session started with your so-called chat support team. Mr. Srikanth is there with me now for chat & still saying the copy-pasted answers "I really understand your concern, I will make sure that the issue will be fixed" lol

I am extremely dissatisfied with Bluehost. My all websites have been down for over a week and despite contacting their support, no one has taken action to resolve the issue. Their service is pathetic and I would never recommend them to anyone. Huh

The site is pretty bad
April 11, 2023

The site is pretty bad. I am being nice with the 2 star review. This is not an intuitive site, too much marketing listed on the site after I purchased the domain. Once I purchase it should be simple to create the site and then start hosting. I am still trying to finish creating the site, which is very hard, and I am dreading trying to put it up to host

If I stay logged into Bluehost, it logs me out and when I try to log back in it tells me I have too many failed attempts. I just had to reset my password to get in. Frustrating.

Initial Login took me to a screen to choose from more free themes. I clicked paid themes to explore those options and was never able to go back to the original. On top of that I thought the wordpress customizer would be more user friendly when its not.
