Advertised a shared calendar however it needs additional payment. I set up my email signature multiple times and it has yet to work. Not as user friendly as other hosting sites I have used.

You lied on your promotion for a free domain name, and on your 30 day money back guarantee.

Support was very slow
April 3, 2023

Support was very slow. Every time I responded to my support person I would be holding for 5 or more minutes for a response back. My time is just as valuable as theirs.

Important note: Customers who have a free domain included in their hosting package but chose the option "I'll create a domain name later" upon account creation can still claim their free domain name by contacting our support at *******678 or chat with them here. Customers who haven't claimed their free domain usually have one temporary domain name in their account in this format: abc.xyz.mybluehost.me.

What is free and what have I already paid for? It is really frustrating to try to do something and be led down a path that wants me to log in and register for yet something ele. Fix it. Inform me better. THis is not worth what I paid for so far.
