I am struggling with how to customize this domain and hosting I purchased the other day. Not only was it much more expensive that what I would typically buy from WordPress.com, but it is trickier to use. I am not sure I have the patience to figure this out.

Seems like it's just a bunch of upselling. I purchased some of the upsells initially and it's trying to upsell me even more after that.

No email contact, just a bot for replies, which is a worry. I am a little concerned how to get in touch when things go wrong

I am existing customer for other domains & companies...was happy before especially with support. Now I have a domain registered with GoDaddy, I just paid and set up a new BlueHost account and need eMail with new domain address ASAP (and don't really want to use GoDaddy for that). Unclear if BLueHost is pushing to transfer domain registry (or just host)... no response from CHAT that is offered lower left... will try calling 800 umber...

I've made 4 attempts to contact Bluehost to resolve a problem migrating my website. My website is now completely down and my emails are getting no response. I will be asking for my money back if this problem isn't solved immediately.
