I want to adjust my information because I made a mistake on the initial account creation, but because I can't verify things, I can't correct the information. It's frustrating because I'm essentially unable to use my own account.
This is not wordpress made easy. This is frustrating. Pages on bluehost will not load. I can't find the theme that I purchased on bluehost. Wish I could get my money back.
I needed a change just hours after getting service through BH and they immediately made the change! A+
Interface broken beyond belief. So buggy, Support is ineffective at resolving issues
I am struggling for the past three days to comprehend the steps. After saving my drafts I cannot locate where they are.
Every time I try to log in I get an error message that says page not available.
Not happy with the lack of response from you, as a new user. I have tried chat twice and did not get the help that I needed.
I haven't been involved in working on this site for very long so I am not able to give an honest opinion yet.
The purchasing and registering process was riddled with technical errors and higly un-intuitive. I spent hours talking to support chat people.
I have been disappointed that the level of support has not been as good as initially promised by the sales rep.
I have only a few hours each week to work on my new business. I've lost ALL of this week's time to attempting to log on and failing to get ANY help at all from bluehost. I feel alone, tearful and wishing I'd picked another host.

I've had their host all year and paid to use their website builder. It only worked for the first couple of months and have not been able to make any changes to my website since it has not been working. I've asked multiple times for months and nothing has been fixed and they refuse to give me a refund. I do not recommend
Thank you for your assistance on the website tutorial
I cannot get pix to display but at least I have a website back up!
I'm struggling. It takes me forever how to find out how to do just one thing. Then I figure it out and move to the next thing and take forever to figure out how to do that and then move on to the next thing, repeat repeat. My brain is exhausted.
It was easy to manage my account. When I had a problem, the support was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.
Failures of your chat system, 7 attempted phone calls, MASSIVE language barriers, and a garbage automated attendant. All in all, it has NOT been a good experience so far as a new customer.
I have been trying to follow the video on how to set this up, and it's missing steps. I've tried getting help, but keep getting disconnected. And I'm still stuck, but I'm sure the payment for this has been taken out.
This has been a terrible experience. I am migrating from shopify. I purchased a word press theme, i transfered my domain and nothing works. I launched my site and nothing looks like the word press theme and things are taking forever to load. Shopify wins hands down when it comes to functionality and ease of use.
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.
