Just very confusing figuring out what I need to do and in what order
You are not user friendly at all for beginners trying to build a site.
I'm finding this to be a little more difficult than I thought it would be.
Complex website building! Definitely not for a novice
I am having a lot of trouble trying to move from one page to the next. I also keep getting a pop up saying that Bluehost cannot connect to Wordpress.
I have asked multiple time for some to contact me no one has
The constant nagging to upgrade to paid things - i'm learning the hosting control panel and working on my site - the pop-ups are so annoying especially the website analytics. I don't have a site yet - so i don't need them, yet it won't go away..
Troubles with login and completing initial Builder setup
I am struggling with understanding why my kimberlyannslape.com is not working with wordpress. It seems to have created another. Com and when I try to visit kimberlyannslape.com (while I have it marked under construction) it is saying the page is not available. It is probably something on my end but the video I watched online with how to connect to wordpress must have been old because the site looks totally different.
My site is offline and I can't find any statuses as to why.
Hi, I have skipped the point where I must select my domain name, the one for free, and now I can't add the proper domain name to my server. What's next?
My new website won't load and there's no user friendly way to troubleshoot all the errors I keep coming across
Understanding how to set a theme up is complicated and doesn't seem straightforward to me.
I've spent a lot of time trying to get the login to work.
Finally found someone who knew how to get to the web page on builder.
It is frustrating to pay for the materials including monsterinsights and still not be able to set up a blog. I comes to the final page and says there is a problem connecting. Now What? Ask for refunds and look for another company?
Need more experience to comment. Right now having difficulty.
Excellent customer support! The technical support expert was very patient and professional. I'm so pleased!
Your marketing is good promising easy site building but I dont find anything to help me starting my site just information on how easy it is
Too hard to figure out simple things such as setting up a new hosting account using my same login - I had to create a completely separate account under a new login. It's hard to figure out how to do simple things like this so I just ended up creating a new account. Also, the webpage timed out when I tried to log in this morning. Additionally, I tried to change the email in my profile but was given an insufficient permissions warning. Also, 2FA should be set up by default.
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.
