The work was completed, and the customer support was good. Appreciate. Thank you
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 need help, I thought this was for beginners. I am completely lost.
Honestly just very confused about how to set up my blog! Trying to figure it out, but would like more help for beginners.
Porting over my existing website has been a impossible
Too complicated. I have to go to Youtube University and study vids.
Just finding it all quite confusing and overwhelming to set up
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 site is not loading all features. Its so frustrating!
It would be helpful to have/find clearer instructions on getting started setting up
Still working through how to set up my blog. I may be a little computer challenged, I'd hope it would be easier.
Super difficult to figure out for first time users
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.
Information for beginning steps is confusing and lacking
Just created an account with you so far it's been okay. A bit confusing transferring my domain.
I tried chat but no one was there, also I'm trying to verify my domain but its still on it forever

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. 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.
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.
