It has many errors when entering site builder or wordpress
The built in support/navigation is extremely helpful.
I signed up earlier today and had issues accessing my dashboard from the very start. Nowhere does it say that I was only able to access my dashboard/account 2 - 5 hours after it has been created (this was relayed to me by the customer service agent) and even then, after logging in more than 5 hours later, I wasn't able to access my dashboard still. I had to contact customer service once again and they had to fix an issue with the account page... not a great start but am really hoping it gets better as it comes highly recommended!
It's so confusing, and I paid almost a month ago for something I am not using due to the lack of ability to operate website
This is the most non-user-friendly website I've ever used!
Very easy to get going. Just looking for template for my portfolio/blog site. Hope it's just as easy to get up and running!
I have not been able to move past the initial pages to even start using the website builder... it doesnt work
I migrated my website (www.thererelaxationzone.biz) from GoDaddy last week and the URL still points to a nonfunctioning GoDaddy site (which is why I migrated to you, too many problems with them).
I believe I just need to point my domain at GoDaddy to the DNS records for my site you are now hosting but I can't find that.
I needed a blank website for class, now somehow there is wordpress. That's not what I wanted how do I uninstall?
I'm having issues regarding creating a password and accessing account. I've had to reset password for one domain so far and am currently experiencing trouble completing my registration for a second domain.
Not super user friendly for a beginner- definitely needing more guidance from someone who knows more than me to make sense of how to make this all work!
I'm having trouble logging into the site to create my website. Every time I attempt to use the username provided in my welcome email I get the message that it's incorrect.
So far your site has been down and I just signed up. Now I want to log in and I can't
Still working on building my website, but so far so good.
Very confusing, and taking at least minutes to log in. I am very sorry I chose this site.
Firstly, the service said I an; t log in because I made too many attempts. But this is the first time I tried to log in today
Secondly, I reset the password, but now service is trying to load the page and takes 2-3 minutes everytime.
Will not recommend the service to any of my partners
Setup has been complicated and I was locked out of my account on the second day even though I was using the correct login credentials.
Not really what I was looking for and the email is mediocre at best. Can NOT get it to work right on my phone. Keep getting the desk top version
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.
