I mistakenly chose your site, not realizing it was all about blogging. I just want to make a simple 6 page info-only site, with a top level menu, and 5 information pages. I am not a complete novice in creating a web site, and creating content, but your system is the WORST and MOST COMPLICATED I have ever used. Completely unusable for my needs. Now I have the problem of taking my new URL somewhere else. My experience has been that is just as difficult as using the web tools.
It's too difficult to find out how to cancel auto-renew
There i no help for understanding how to edit blocks. There is no help for understanding how to edit text.
Pages are not loading when I click them. I am on a new Macbook Pro, so not sure what the problem is.
The worst design program I have ever used. Takes you all the way through set up to a finish button that won't work.
A little more in depth than I anticipated, but customer service was really helpful.
There have been so many issues trying to get bluehost to communicate correctly with wordpress to set up a new site from scratch. I am a first time user of BlueHost and everything I click on says something went wrong, or error communicating with servcer.
Well its my link domain name Prosperity and Fortunate.com is used and is that user me
There was a problem in setting up my website. A 'cloud' computing system prevented me from accessing wordpress thus delaying my business launch. The women as the helpline were very patient and informative but I used bluehost before and never had this problem.
Cant get the builder to load so having to do it this way which may not end well for me!
The site is not easily navigated and links do not work. Can't get to or find email and the website builder did not load
I'm having issues trying to access my website that was just created.
Its been not bad. I don't like how it pushes you straight away into basic wordpress templates as I had already purchased my own.
It's a learning process, but I am determined to crush it.
I dont like the theme bluehost is forcing me to use and now my Wordpress themes are being overridden by it. Frustrating
The customer support sucks. I was on a chat for almost an hour and still had to try and figure things out on my own. The agent had me wait for up to ten minutes for him to respond to my chat. Then terminated the chat when I did not respond in under a minute. Not very user friendly if this is your first time building a website.
I just got onto the site and I have been kicked off three times, losing a total of about 6 hours worth of work!
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.
