I wasnt able to buy the domain through the website, I had to contact customer support just to give you my money. I also had to wait a few hours to buy the privacy protection option, I should have been able to buy it right away.
Still very hard to navigate the site and deal with technical support issues.
Not very intuitive. Can't seem to change fonts or background colors after trying one out.
It seems I am having to change my password everyday.
Very bad broken links and 404 errors. Poor connectivity with wordpress platform.
So far, required support only once and the chat support was excellent.
Eva has been great! Professional friendly and cares about her customer's success!
I am very glad to have found Bluehost because it offers so many possibilities and is easy to use as a beginner.
Amazing content management for my different domains and simple transfer process.
The interface is very confusing and I can't seem to find a road map to help me get started
Hard to find things. Keep getting interrupted by your agenda.
A bit overwhelmed, but working my way through it all.
Blue Host is great! It's easy to use and give you step by step directions to get set up and started. I find it really easy to follow.
I skip the phase of choosing a free domain and I used to connect the support to buy a domain for me. There was no way to do it by myself.
I get into WordPress and found out that my new domain was not the primary, so I used to connect the support again to change it. There was no way to do it by myself.
I tried to connect to WordPress one more time and I got into the wrong website with the name of my domain (I still don't understand how could it be), so I used to connect the support again.
A simple process continues few hours
Very bad experience. I consider getting a refund within 30 days of the free cancellation.
Need to resources to learn what i am supposed to be doing as a beginner
Its less user friendly than I had hoped but I do like the options available
The experience thus far has been poor. System locked up when trying to set things up, had to reach out to support - they did fix issue within 20 minutes. Very poor instructions for new users
I switched over to Bluehost from Wix and it's been a pretty big learning curve. I also have had issues trying to move my blog posts moved over to wordpress - not sure that's a bluehost issue - so I've had to manually do it all.
Overall I like the site. There are so many options for plugins and design. It just takes some time to navigate a new site.

The email setting is so complicated and the speed has lots of room for improvement.
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.
