I opened my account 24 hours ago and my experience is extremely smooth. Thank you.
Everything is terribly confusing and i cant get anything to work.
I purchased the plan and when I started working on WordPress within a minute it starts showing errors. And talked with customer care they said DNS not working, we started it again and it will take 2 days. I just wasted my money. Moreover my time.
It has been very helpful, I have had trouble learning how to text on the page but I'm sure I will understand it better soon.
This is far more complicated than WIX. It's impossible to find the simple PUBLISH button so I can push my draft webpage to my own domain. It should not be this difficult.
I've found everything clunky and counterintuitive. I've received nearly 20 emails today from Jetpack, which was an addin to my WordPress service, and I can't seem to make that stop.
Just trying to figure things out - a little too simplistic of an approach for me, but probably great for most users. I'm looking to have segmented management layers, so dns, registration, content hosting not managed by the same entity, which is what your documentation and web actions are geared towards.
Having a hard time getting an overall "startup" guide.
I am struggling to get support on a critical error from a newly purchased theme "Caboom"
Help is very easy to find. Really feel like I am walked through the whole process
Quality service with a friendly UI. The communication between Bluehost and Wordpress could be simplified.
Kristin is super, helpful and very patient. Thanks!
I can't figure out how to use this service. It's too difficult for a first time user.
Cant get my emails to work and bluehost is very hard to understand tech support
I'm still having problems migrating, but keep being told by tech support that it will do it itself - this is not proving to be the case
My understanding was that bluehost was supposed to host my website, utilizing the domain name that I already own. However, the instructions are not clear on how I can go about doing that and every link seems to be pushing me toward WordPress, which I am not interested in using. I would just like to host the files I already have created as a webpage.
You are guiding a boomer through website building and I am grateful.
I am upset about subscribing to a bunch of stuff I didn't want for the first time because I didn't realize it was all selected before I went to check out. So instead of spending $70 for my first year until I was more versed, I ended spending $185 for things I will probably not even use. That is very disappointing to me.
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.
