Horrible interface. Completely not user friendly. No way to use this. I consider myself tech savvy and this is a nightmare.
My domain's emails were immediately blacklisted and I am unable to use Bluehost's services - I will be canceling soon and asking for a refund as I have used it for ~24 hours and the experience has been terrible
I am having a difficult time setting up my blog. It was supposed to be easy but I haven't found that to be the case.
The bluehost website builder does not work and when i asked customer support about a timeline for when to expect it to be working, i was given a vague response. Boooo!
I can't log in and am getting a message to try later. I am feeling out of my depth, have set aside time today to develop this website and now feeling very frustrated.
I am on my first day with this product and am so confused. I thought the Bluehost basic builder looked easy in the video. It is anything but easy.
I find the Blue Host WordPress interaction very difficult to maneuver and really dislike this editor.
I have enjoyed using the format and it has made it better to set up my blog.
I have never had such a difficult time with a web builder website. It is very slow, the builder rarely loads, my pictures don't upload, they just keep loading and loading but never appear. I am thinking of canceling.
I am unable to change themes for my website. I am getting an error every time
I've been trying to change my domain name but the live chat seems to not work for me. Kindly send me instructions to rename my domain. Thank you.
I have no idea what I am doing. Thanks for making it a little easier
The website builder is not diverse enough to make a unique website. I've tried to use wordpress but that is too complicated
The Blue Host Website Builder is constantly stuck on it's revolving blue-blocks page. The cross-format design between Blue Host and WordPress is convoluted at best.
I can't get this started. I am having the worst time trying to set up this blog site. It is not as easy as I thought it would be. NOt user friendly. I am hoping to get help tomorrow to set up the site.
Still figuring things out, learning curve and all that
I paid for the WordPress/BlueHost account and waited to select a domain name because I thought I could select the domain name later, according to the instructions. I received a temporary or random domain name and I need help switching it to one that accurately represents my website.
Takes time to get use to. The initial phase was very confusing. I called in and was directed here - which I had never seen until now. For some reason, it directed me to the WordPress buiilder before the Bluehost builder and added to the confusion. I better onboarding process would be ideal. I did purchase this on a whim, after seeing a Youtube ad.
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.
