Had a really hard time with your services so far. I hope my experience gets better. It's been less than 2 weeks since I purchased your services and I've had to talk to 6 customer service representatives already. It's not looking good...
Unable to transfer wordpress.com to wordpress.org because of "known issue". Waiting for resolution. But I appreciate the availability of online Chat support.
I asked them to change the account name. A lot of rejection in the first place but in the end he agreed to change it. Until now there is no info about it.
I was a very disappointed with this policy. You do not give option from the time I filled up the sign in form.
Still need to think how to make *******@need.lv
You have suggested to me maile as: *******@need.lv, but need to make *******@need.lv
Why you not suggested tegular mails? Info@ or other
The site is slow and glitchy. I can't get anyone on the chat to help.
Well. I signed up for BlueHost on great recommendations. I signed up and started a domain transfer and I feel COMPLETELY ABANDONED. Why does the chat keep telling me something different? I can do MOST of the work myself, however, I need BlueHost to do their part so I can keep doing my part.
So far it's been fantastic, but it would have been helpful if there was a clear theme for landing pages.
Not so good, bad experience so far, getting solved some issues, but the first impression was bad
Its hard to understand what did i pay over $250 for a year for. I dont know what i can or can not do. I have no explanation on what i paid for and everything i choose to use is asking for more money and im starting to not have that same exciting feeling i had when i found out about this program.
I am not sure what the problem is. I received multiple email requests to verify my email which I did multiple times. When I try to open the link in the email, I get a message that says the app cannot be opened.
My site keeps having problems that I don't understand how to fix because they shouldn't happen in the first place and now its completely disconnected.
The onboarding for my website went extremely well! The process itself was well defined and easy to follow.
Trying to look at templates for choices but it applied the type i clicked first?
I am finding it incredibly difficult to start building a website
I find it difficult to navigate how to get the web site designed.
Creating an email is proving extremely difficult. An east click just produces an error each time or the site times out. Same result in multiple different devices. Very frustrating
To many pop ups trying to get you to buy something extra
I just incurred a large cost with no reminder, which I didn't want.
Extremely difficult to navigate to basic parts of the site. Logging into Wordpress but there is no username or password. Extremely unintuitive
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.
