I received an email that my domain is renewing for over $500 which I never got notice of and never approved. My prior bills were for $70. This kind of email was surprising and upsetting.

I'm really pissed off and disappointed that I tried to migrate my website to your platform, ONLY to find out I have to pay to migrate, because there is NO easy way to migrate manually or even with some suggested plug-ins I never used in the past. I was suckered in and half migrated, and now STUCK HAVING to migrate for 2 months at least, once you charged me more than half the other decent platforms I should have gone to.

The mobile access to your site is horrible. And I'm trying to update my credit card info and keep getting a message that it can't be updated and to try back later. Your site is not at all user friendly.

I thought I could walk through this myself without more technical help from a web person but I had to call this morning and I'm waiting for a call from your designers. So far so good!

Purchased a domain thru Bluehost
September 10, 2022

Purchased a domain thru Bluehost. Now trying to launch a Wordpress website from Desktop Server. Not at all intuitive. Followed instructions from a 3rd party website. Got so far then couldn't connect.
