I'm on a short time frame and your site builder is simple and quick.
Site is not fluid, easy to find information on how to do things. Lack of explanations.
I am having GREAT difficulty navigating. Probably my problem, not yours. More stars are coming as I become more familiar with this site.
I'm struggling with how to set my website. I don't find it user friendly.
I am trying to get hold of someone to confirm that my website is set up on Wordpress.org not Wordpress.com. Also, I don't know how to login to Wordpress without Bluehost because I never set up my Wordpress account. I also need to know how to upload a theme I bought through Envato on my Wordpress.
I dismissed this message once already and now it keeps popping up, I've only clicked on two things!
It was not clear to me that I would pay for the entire year at once. I accidentally payed 100 £, instead of 2£ as it was advertised on the from page! To make matters worse, the site keeps crashing and I can't even start my blog...
I asked support how I can add a login for my support guy. His answer was to direct me to advance/add email/webmail. I had no idea what that meant or how it was related
Awesome, better than sex. But I build websites for a living, so I wouldn't know.
Unintuitive. I see different pages than the ones I published. My website looks like it is ignoring the skin I've chosen. Signing into word press is only possible through Bluehost. Many fruitless hours.
Can't seem to customize my new page. Keep getting error messages.
Whenever I attempt to start Wordpress, I get a fatal error. Please help!

II migrated my site. On my box, it plays locally, on the Blue Host site, it doe not play locally.
Thefirt agent wth whom I spoke, had no ideawhat I was asking her, kept me on hold for about 10 mi, then gave me a number to ca,,, iPage.
The second tech, Mat tought I wanted te sute mounted on the web when I merely wanted to be sure that the site loaded correctly by accessing it locally.
Why doe the site lay locally on my box and not on your site?
I am really stuck on how to create my own website.
This is garbage, very hard to navigate and understand i cant get the site built at all
Website extremely slow and clunky. Not intuitive to use. I have watched some tutorials and just find it keeps dropping when I'm trying to use plugins and templates/starter themes.
Good and will recommend other to use this services
The website creation is heavily geared towards wordpress, when I wanted to upload my own html files. After figuring out where to upload the files it became easier.
Lots of stuff to take in, but laid out well, and I think I will figure it out.
I do not understand the difference in quickly making a page on what is taking me to the App.bluehost.com (so easy if it would load). Then the ver basic Word Press that gives me no options to upload photos or more fonts.
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.
