Ok, it sucks, im sorry to say. One will need customer support to create. Its the worst website builder. That why its cheap
Im struggling to use because IT illiterate but site is great so is the assistance
I have not been able to set up my website because this experience has been so poor, I've been led to sites that seem to be the true websites but instead appear to be traps for stealing data. This isn't very user friendly like it claimed to be and honestly I want a refund. I thought I could trust this site because it was connected to my google domain but I 've been wholly dissatisfied with the experience
For a beginner there is a big learning curve, and while there is a huge selection of plugins, it is also overwhelming.
I have many issues with your company I have created a website with you but it doesn't work you are fake
So far my experience has been great using blue host it's easy to log in and so far the SLL security is working properly and the WordPress site is now active.
Customer service was super easy to reach and resolved my issue right away.
Why did my website stop working just a few days after launching? I've never had this happen before simply because of a verification issue — now even after verifying it is still not working…
I have been having some trouble with multiple errors showing on pages where I should be able to edit the site. I think something is wrong and I'm not sure how to fix it.
The platform doesn't seem very intuitive, I feel like I'm going in circles. Also, I went through google business account and the price quote was 9.99 a month but when I signed up it did not give me this price. The price is 14.99.
Very slow response time. Cannot even build my site because when I press Finish at the end, it loads for more than an hour saying it is building my site...
My site stopped working because of Bluehost plugin not working on Wordpress. Trying to contact your chat but the chat button is not responsive. :(
Easy to use platform even for us who are not techies
Very difficult to setup! I contacted customer service and was told it would be resolved with a few hours, but nothing.
I've been building a new site for my oil paintings and Bluehost and Wordpress have been an excellent source to build within. Wordpress is fairly easy to use and navigate once you understand the basics. I have yet to optimize the site for SEO access but am confident that when the time comes Bluehost will come through with any issues I may have.
The chat service is extremely slow. The representative will provide a solution and not wait to ensure the solution works. The representative ends the chat.
I'm still in the process of understanding everything.
It has been a pleasant experience. Very easy access to wordpress.
This is very complicated and I can't figure it out
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.
