Absolute nightmare joining your service. The flow was error prone and the 3 support people I spoke with were barely helpful. Plus your security is awful as my password was required to cancel something I didn't want to buy. I was told it was required for two way authentication, which clearly, I don't think the rep understood the meaning of. Plus you used dark UI patterns to make me buy something I didn't want to by forcing and opt-out. That's just wrong. If I could give 0 stars i would

Deliberately making the cancellation process far more complicated than it need be.

This platform is NOT user friendly, and the assistance was not a help. Big waste of money.

Have not used long enough to leave feedback.
Need 1-3 months using Bluehost, etc. before leaving feedback.
Generally Ok for now. But difficult to navigate, editing, publishing, etc.
Thank you,
TOM

I don't know where to begin
March 8, 2023

I don't know where to begin. I am certain that there's a character limit and rehashing it makes my blood pressure to sky high. All I can say is no matter what you may think you need this dog and pony show for I promise you it's not worth it. Go to Google Blogs or get yourself an Etsy shop

I am new and it is a lot to take in. However your customer service was so helpful and treated me with dignity even though I knew nothing. His name was Keith.

All You Tube Videos describing Blue Host are WAY OUT OF DATE. I have struggled for a week now just trying to get my site up. I still cannot find out how to get rid of the "Coming Soon" page.

I have been waiting over 15 mins for a support agent to assist me with my website domain, but no one is connecting. I have been cycled through this chat 5 times and have not yet been able to speak to a person.

Today we purchased bakhashelectrical.com but we don't know why it is not showing as primary domain. Please help to resolve this issue as we are trying to contact you guys multiple time but no one is supporting us.

The last guy also send us the rename request email which subject Rename Request [OEML-*******]
But he didn't solve our problem. We are really very much disappointed with your support.
