Still getting familiar with site, brand new at this.
Have been trying to set up a new website on my unlimited website hosting and the server was down. I spoke to customer service who advised me I would just have to wait. Have tried 3 times to set it up and will try again today. Today I spoke to customer service again and they sorted it all out.

In general is a good service... I dont use wordpress that much and I would like to have more independency at the time to design my web... no only stay with word press.
Every question and concern is being answered through just clicking to the next step. You'd have to be too particular and too much of a perfectionist to not appreciate what is at hand. Yes there's more that can take it further but what already exists is most key to viewer's experience on your page.
Nothing makes sense. Cannot load phpBB forum and no idea how to do it.
I entered the wrong domain name and wanted to change it. I am not told that I need to purchase ANOTHER domain? This is absurd.
I haven't learned much about the program yet. I hope to do that soon. I'm needing to change billing as I chose a much higher plan than I need to use. Would like to get a refund on that. The site doesn't make that part easy to find.
When the advertisement says I get unlimited email addresses, I expect there to be a way to access the email without paying an additional fee. I'm already paying a lot. I am not happy.
My domain has not been registered with Bkluehost but with Google Domains and still I am getting charged.
This is a VERY confusing and cumbersome site. I'm getting very frustrated and wasting too much time trying to figure out the simplest of task to get my website up and running.
I have tried to cancel my account and i continue to be charged. The process has be difficult to navigate and hence why I cancelled my account!
I've started 2 chat support conversations and they've dropped. So far I've spent 20 minutes and no resolution

Very good It was a 5 minute call. Not much to say, please stop pressing me to write a review for a 5 minute call
I'm unable to log into Wordpress or find a solution to the problem.
I am new and cannot figure out why i can't access my new blog
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.
