These days your site is not a plug and play in anyway. I have found that the navigation and the time that is taking me to utilize your product has been more difficult than it should be.

Support both via phone and chat has been very poor. My technician would leave 10min in between comments.

Trying to upload a few thing and when I contacted support in chat it to over an hour for the person to tell me to ask someone else. I know what the issue is but the cs person would not listen. SO here I set trying to figure it all out myself. Thanks.

Setting up a domain and WordPress site was quick and easy. So far I've been impressed by the amount of customization available with my plan, and I appreciate that Bluehost took some steps to make my journey easier (such as having some plugins ready to go).

Sanjay is absolutely awful
February 27, 2023

Sanjay is absolutely awful. He has no idea what he's doing, and takes 5 to 10 minutes to answer each question. Then, when you walk away for 1 minute, he hangs-up.

Outstanding tech support, easy to reach and fast problem resolution! So far I am very impressed with the server speed and upload/download speeds. I like the ability to manage my hosting through cPanel and the Bluehost interface.

I am in the beginning stages of setting up a business, so I am taking steps slowly--when I have time. I thought I had set up an email account, but now I can't configure it. Feeling frustrated.
