Poor options to manage domains, should have never clicked add domain later
I have tried all day to figure out how to use this site. I am a complete beginner and most of it goes over my head. I don't know what I need or don't need. I am hesitant to subscribe to a service when I don't even know what Services I will need yet. I really just need someone who knows what they are doing to set up my site for me.
I am having trouble figuring out the process of what to subscribe to and what I don't need
I've called and asked for them to change my primary domain twice now and it's still not changed. They also did not migrate my website.
I have had nothing, but technical troubles since starting. I bought a domain and hosting services and from the beginning I have not been able to publish my front page with the modern editor. I spent a half hour on chat to have my editor reverted back to the classic editor which let me publish my page, but I want to use the most up to date tools that seem more intuitive. Now, I have to probably spend another half hour in chat or on the phone to get them to revert the tools back to the most recent versions and get them to work.
I have had trouble both with signing in yesterday and getting photos onto my site.
So far I find trying to edit with the website builder very hard. I just keep going in circles and every YouTube video works different than this site builder. I'm stuck going in circle and it costs to much money to ask for help. I may just cancel my account. It said things have to be so hard to have a good site. My go daddy website took nothing to learn how to do it. But simple means very limited. Tried to build a site to better match my needs but I'm ready to work away from what i find impossible to use and get ant where.
Two weeks ago I decided to make myself a website... For blogging! Prior to that, I knew almost nothing about creating websites. But last night the site was published and its filling with materials began. I am 65 years old, I don't know the language... So draw your own conclusions! Obviously, I will be contacting them for SEO support. I want to make it myself, there is no finance for third-party development!
I cannot edit my site. The word press will not login because my "site cannot be reached" to customize my business website
I can't get onto my blog because I keep getting "Website Not Secure", and now I'm pessimistic that I'll have to spend more money to fix this even after I trusted bluehost and paid over a hundred dollars for a domain name--a domain name I'm not even sure I actually have, now.
This was suppose to be easy to navigate and build a page but not true. Also, in every corner is something with a price tag.
Having massive problems designing a site. This isn't intuitive at all
I'm finding the search feature a nightmare. I'm literally trying to link the pages on my site with hyperlinks, and I can't find up-to-date resources. It's extrememly frustrating. Plenty of up-selling ads though...
I called because I thought I had an email included with my Bluehost account. I was correct and they did help me set that up step by step! She was so kind and helpful!
Too much confusion about changing/updating my domain name. Should have been more clear how much a pain it would be if you don't choose one when signing up.
It's difficult to understand and navigate the designing tools as a novice blogger.
I want to upload a custom site but I started to set an under construction home page and the system will not allow me to publish. It looks like it publishes but it just does nothing from you editor
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.
