This is incredibly not user-friendly to set up. I have used GoDaddy previously and the setup was flawless. I have had my site up for over a month and still cannot accept orders, checkout or ship orders. I have never been so unhappy with a purchase before, honestly.

I have no idea how to use this and the original website said I'd get "help" and there is no help. I want my money back and I want to cancel. I cannot even find how to do that.

Trying to FTP some PHPBB software. I don't seem to be able to access files once I upload them. Probably a doc problem.

Overall great
October 5, 2022

My overall experience was great although it did take several attempts to get exactly what was needed some of those were me needing to get more info from my previous host but some of the others were bluehost and when they asked me to find a file I was only allotted 2 minutes. I'm not the most tech savvy and multiple times the chat ended because I couldn't get the file in 2 minutes even when I explained the situation the person said I only had to 2 minutes. If I am being active in the chat I feel like I should be given more than 2 minutes to find the file.

With no experience, it's not as easy as it is portrayed. Add a page seems like it is too complicated. That, or I have some learning to do.

There is a lot to take in and the step-by-step instructions seem to be there for each portion but there is no clear outline for the order that the portions should be completed... such as setting up website first or email settings first etc.
