I Am new to this and around have things up and running by the weekend, had to get some stuff together, When I thought I was ready lol I was not..
It started out great, but now I'm having trouble accessing my site and setting up my blog. It is not very user friendly for beginners.
I have no idea why i cannot use ssh on my server. 2 customer service agents said I could after verification, another said I could not. This is very frustrating
I need to resign from my membership. I am ill and don't have a bright future. Can you help me resign? John Leslie
Not very user friendly, I am very confused about how to do anything
User access is difficult to understand and how the interface aligns with wordpress
I need help but looking for the time to respond to those that have reached out.
Everyone has been so helpful, went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that I received answers in getting me all setup.
I ran into a small issue on my first day and messaged the help desk. It was resolved within thirty minutes. Very good experience.
Just trying to renew my billing information and it will not work!
Seamless experience. The user interface is highly user-friendly and easy to use.
It have been here for not even 24 hours and I am highly disappointed in the customer service, the resources provided and the service itself. I already asked for a refund.
I am locked out of my website getting error code 526.
The designer and prepaid installed plugins are too difficult to use, I was not told that I still had to pay for pro even though I prepaid for specific plugins/apps on my website, and I have not received a response to refund my account in the chat support for the past hour.
It was described by an affiliate that BlueHost was super easy to use. I don't find it easy at all. The tutorials are worthless.
I'm struggling to understand how to add a new page to my website with the same template that was used on my home page.
A little bit confused as to why I can't add privacy features straight away.
I wanted to create my website using wordpress.org but it seems to be defaulting to wordpress.com and I can't find any information about how to change this
Trying to set up domain based email. The system offered erik@(domain name). But when I signed up, it would not let me set that email. I eventually accepted the default the system put in which was the *******@the domain, figuring I would be able to change it later. Apparently I can't. I tried using the chat function to get help, but it was not responsive.
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.
