Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks,
Delays in process of setting up password and now have tried to use builder to set up site multiple times and after hitting finish it just goes to screen with moving blocks for as long as I can wait... 30+ minutes.
This service has shown itself to be instinctive and comprehensive.
First time user. Excellent tutorials to help get started.
I've never made a blog from scratch before, and I am not well versed in the platform yet, but I do have faith that this platform will give me the tools I need to succeed. I am very fortunate to have found it. So far, everything is going very well! I would like more of a walk through added for the hopelessly confused and technology-challenged as I am.
Very fast help and response on all of my concerns. Appreciate it..
I cant edit anyting.
I can't get anywhere without getting an error code.
I want a refund.
This is ridiculous.
Wordpress isn't working anymore. I bought a premium theme through Bluehost market and installed it, but then the theme didn't work. I changed the site URL to the one that I bought with Bluehost and now I can't access my Wordpress site.
I'm having difficulty finding answers to my questions through the support function.
Can't figure out what I'm getting for my money. Can't transfer site from Namecheap. Got a credit card bill for $107.16 but thought the Basic HostingPlan ws lily $2.95/month
Having trouble setting things up. I'm older not much use to these things. Blessing.
Hard to understand how to create the website from scratch or migrate it on y own
Migration went smooth and the load times are incredible.
The site is too hard. I built a site on another provider in less than an hour. I want to use my domain that is here, but when I attempt to build a site I just run into one problem after another. At the moment I want my site to be called my domain name but when i change the name in the 'General' setting area and the permalink I get an error that the. Htaccess files is unwritable. I can't even find that damn file
Site has errors and hasn't been very user friendly compared to other sites I've used for websites.
Love the concept of having help to create a vision
Site is overly complicated and difficult to navigate
I used to use Wordpress and it was so simple. Day 1 here is a nightmare. What a waste of $50.
Really knowledgeable customer support really helps.
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.
