I am loving the flexibility to create my own site, but all of the options and the interface between bluehost and wordpress, bouncing back and forth is a little confusing for me being I don't know much about websites.
This is way to hard to follow for me. I don; t know if I; m in Bluehost or Word Press and all the other stuff isc onfusing,
I would leave negative 10 stars if that was possible. Getting 20 spam calls, 10 emails and 5 texts everyday since signing up! I am on the DO NOT CALL LIST!
I am really struggling with knowing how to design and set up my website. It is not very user friendly.
Great. IT was great. Thank you very much. I appreciate it
Love how I can edit wordpress online without having to download it! Amazing! (as a marketer I've gotta ask, are you targeting Chromebook users with this news? It's a drama and a half to install WP on a Chromebook
Got stuck on screen Great work! We're installing WordPress...
There are some errors like not being able to use the custom html, this has been provided a ticket by the customer service
The help desk walked me through (for me) a complex issue. They were kind, knowledgeable, and sensitive to my stress at doing something I wasn't trained to do.
A bit of a learning curve but have only had it for a short while
Very easy process but it was quite confusing as a beginner when I had a temporary URL. It would of been nice to have clarity that the URL will change after encryption.
I am trying to cancel this subscription. You will not even let me update my info and you send me way toomany emails. Please cancel my site and refund my money. This is way harder than you said it would be!
I participated in a live chat with a customer service representative. They were able to quickly and efficiently answer my question and resolve my request. The process was easy.
It's frustrating when you get prompted by surveys every time you move from page to page.
Surprised I have not heard from email migration team
It was quite difficult for the first representative was negligent in assisting. Therefore, it was necessary I phone a second time.
I literally only want to create ONE page; with ONE image; and ONE line of text. I have spent the last 6 hours, and two phone calls to support, trying to do that. I have never seen something more over complicated in my life. This has been the single most complicated website building platform I have ever seen. I would NEVER, in ONE MILLION YEARS, recommend this site to anyone. I used to build websites back in the late 90's and I could've seriously written a whole robust site already in the time it's taking me to learn how to navigate this one. This is absolutely ridiculous. Complete morons have built this site/templates (WP). I'm the biggest idiot on the planet for paying for 36 months hosting on something I'm just gonna trash. I'm done.
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.
