Terrible. First I had a Bluehost builder site which a spent a few hours getting not too far; now I cannot find it. I am being prompted to WordPress to start over again. Cannot find any beginner help. I keep getting some stupid different domain gibberish which is not the site that I paid for?
I wish to get a refund on the theme. It is not as versatile as I hoped.
My website has some issues 2 days after launching. Its saying the web server is down
I've just started using bluehost and need support, I've tried calling but can't get through to speak to anyone.
Needed to make a name change and was handled effectively
So far it has been plug and chug... some of it is confusing to navigate, just a bit overwhelming... where is the how to guide?
The absolute worst customer service, you have lost almost 20 of my domains, on hold forever, lied to, total incompetency
Our rep listened to the concerns and asked questions to present the right resolution
I am trying to work, and then I get this pop up. That is not nice!
Features are not so easy to find as in Siteground. I'm having trouble just to add another website
I'm overwhelmed by the number of options and all of these buttons, windows and stuff compared to the minimal view I used to but I'll get on with it one or another
I am unable to get customer service, the phone keeps hanging up
Not user friendly, way too many options for first time blogger
I'm not far into designing my site, but the experience so far is about what I expected it to
Nothing works on your website, all i get is {"errors":"Not Found"}
I've made a few calls to support. While Sean and Verg were courteous and knowledgeable, my direct domain name has still has not been set up. And, I was disconnected numerous times on the support line before I even got a chance to speak with someone. Right now, very dissatisfied.
I am impressed with Bluehost's variety of tools and helps to set up an outstanding website. I am looking forward to a long relationship with Bluehost.
Go to start my website and it says I have a "critical error" and will not connect to wordpress.
When signing up for a plan, I had an error pop up about 4 times before I was finally able to purchase. Support wasn't able to help me and that was a bit frustrating. Otherwise, a good experience.
