My experience with your website builder has been terrible. Every time I try and build the website, it won't let me save anything. I've chatted twice now with tech support and no resolution. I'm extremely frustrated at this point.
The website builder is way more complicated than I thought. Its been few days I have been struggling with the builder everyone is not a professional and it should be user friendly and easy for a common person to use.
Customer service is terrible to work with. Technical support was no help & couldn't even understand the issue/question.
I'm having lots of obstacles in moving from one step to the next. Not happy thus far. But the agents have been very helpful over chat.
Love the experience been very easy to use and cheap for the quality provided.
None of my pages are loading. I can't edit anything. Every time I click on a page, it just loads forever.
Good so far. It seems it takes some learning to ba able to use the platform optimally. I'm glued.
Having trouble with email setup, set up the email in Outlook, got the confirmation email then nothing, can't send or receive and emails. Any sent to this email just bounce
This is an awful experience so far, I can't figure out how to set up my site and you said it would be easy
Everything takes forever to load cant even load up the site editor
I have moved some accounts from one bluehost account to another and nothing was set up correctly. The move was done by bluehost. Even now I am having to mess with things to see why the server won't connect
I have had a very difficult time getting my new website up and going because of a problem Bluehost is having with its SSL Certificate (whatever that is). For most of today, I could not even log in to my account. Now I am passed that, but when I clicked on "Create Your website", I was taken to a page that look anything like my notes from instructions from Fullstaq. That's where I am right now, trying to get to the page where I can choose the "primary purpose of my site" - but I can't find that page. Nor could I ever arrange to talk to a person who might help me. Hence one stay
Trying to add email options and continually times out. Not a user friendly website. Wishing I could get my money back.
I am checking on the status of the domain transfer of jeffronci.com and crazymoon. Jeffronci., com from Omnis.com to Bluehost.com. As past chats show, I have requested this matter be expedited due to unacceptable delays on your end. I am losing business by the day.
Every time I try to apply a theme, I get an error. When I called bluehost the guy who helped me said he couldn't help me with the website building because that's Wordpress but all I wanted was to use a template and he could have transferred me to someone who could help me and then he went silent but the phone call was still active but he wouldn't respond. So I just hung up. You guys gotta make this easier for people who don't have a basic understanding of these things.
I have had several issues setting up and logging in etc.
Better navigation, can't even find back ups. And I have a domain with DNS to blue host but all of the website is in a temp domain... what?
I cannot figure out how to build my site. Astra and Elementor were recommended to me, but I just don't know what I am doing!
Blushost is our worst host we have ever chosen. We have been in business for 17 years. We have taken many hosts but we have never seen a host this bad and useless. Always our site is down. They always say your site was infected! We never touch the site and even never go the and our site has the strongest password. So their security has a problem or their server has virus?
Bluehost Website Builder does not work after building entire site using it. Cannot update website. Customer service has no clue. Paid plugins do not work either. I deserve my money back!
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.
