So far so good, definitely a learning curve but thats to be expected as this is my frist website making experience.
I need to install wordpress on a subdomain and theres really no help at all for me. I'm resorting to googling and seeing a lot of terms I don't understand. I think your site should be more user friendly for basic tasks like this. :(
Great experience, nothing negative so far everything works perfectly
I am just trying to start a blog. I feel like I am in the metaverse trying to set up a blockchain account. This is not easy at all
I've been trying to customize my website for the last 4 hours, but it keeps giving me an error message
I can't access my website. I spent a while I. Chat the other day with a tech rep and still can't get on
How do I know when my domain has transferred from machighway (or from whoever they use for my domain registration)?
How do I set up my email addresses that I already have with machighway so that they continue to work?
I'm completely in the dark here
Some concerns about accessing the webmail, I have registered an mail ID with google and paid. Am not able to access it so far, also am trying to search for any documents that help to access my domain mail as an admin in google could not find.
Im very new but it seems I will improve with wordpress
I am impressed. Two years ago I used NameCheap and you guys have ONE LOGIN for everything including cpanel. Kudos.
Chat was amazingly fast and reliable.
So far it has been a fantastic experience, I was able to publish my site very fast thanks to the user-friendly UI and support team.
This may be easy for website developers, but it is not intuitive for someone who is going to create one website and make updates to it. I attempted to utilize WordPress and spent 3+ hours trying to make it work, before realizing I was probably in the wrong area of the site.
A little confusing, just not my area to build from scratch. Am sure other users know what they are doing.
Site migration isn't working as expected. First agent I spoke with on the phone was not knowledgeable.
Added a wordpress plugin, Soliloquy Lite, and now can't log into either wordpress or the builder.
Been following ryrob.com and his helpful 7 day plan, I hope to have this up and running by the end of the week!
You're going to lose a star rating every time you send this bloody pop up. Please let me just work in peace!
I have been trying to get started on building my website for an hour. Nothing works. None of the links will open where they're supposed to. I keep getting messages on ALL links that say Site Cannot Be Reached. Can you help?
This opinion thing is annoying as hell when I'm trying to find a solution and get to the "need help" bar. Also, I find it annoying I have to provide "feedback" in order to authorize a 1 or 2 star rating. Dont' ask if you don't want to know.
Answer: NO - please do not go with Bluehost, it will save you a lot of hassle. They have the worst customer service and take your accounts offline just so you upgrade for more money even though the thresholds were not met. This means they are just running a scam by taking your websites offline and then offering the solution to get them back online by paying more money to them. My websites were down for 6 days and I've lost hundreds of dollars in income, have to pay my developers for all the work they did and NONE of it will be refunded by Bluehost. I migrated everything away from them and they do not even want to refund my sign-up costs. It is a total scam run but incapable and money-grabbing people whereas the CEO of Endurance group Jeff Fox made $10.000.000 in 2019 alone and the CEO of Bluehost Suhaib Zaheer $2.300.000. Be aware you do not get scammed by them, I've warned you. They are an evil company run by people with zero morals. I am going to report their theft to the FTC, BBB, and law enforcement. I will not go down without a fight and they will regret stealing from me and other affiliates as their reputation sinks in the toilet.
