This website has not worked for me. I have reached out numerous times and the only response I get is to pay another $165 for help. This is a scam. I wish there were honest people that would help!

I came form namecheap so my expectations were very low I was expecting to be confused and end up with problems like having 3 trials for wordpess creation but this has been so easy and responsive. I've not had to ask customer support for anything so far as all of my questions have had clear documentation or youtube videos or skill share lessons to walk me through I spend so much less time wondering and more time creating here.

Bluehost software is an non-unified mess, having to go to 2-4 places: CodeGuard, Softculous, Home Websites, CPanel and Bluehost Plugin in WordPress and some or none, never work, properly or they totally screw-up your development. A total hassle.

Overall the service is fine but the logging in is a bit of work, having to sign into Bluehost then getting hit with an ad, then closing this survey before even getting to the link for Wordpress. It is a bit annoying.

My price jumped just too high from where I began for a website I only need kept up. When I chatted with someone a few weeks ago they could not help me. It is just too much money for a site I just need to remain and barely holds anything. I am really upset I moved from where I was paying too much at $118 to a great rate I knew would go up but not HIGHER than where I came from.

Too many "updates" that function to justify someone's employment with Bluehost but serve to slow things down and complicate things users.

I say 5 stars...

I say 5 stars...No complaints, really. Everything is easy to find and when I did need to speak to a Bluehost Agent, each person that assisted me was patient and answered all my concerns. Thank you for providing a great service!

Not sure why 'Sukruth' took a long time to identify the problem with my site. I figured out the problem while he purposely delayed our interaction. All it kept doing was stalling with 'im sorry'' and 'don't be tensed' comments. It was a super easy fix that I figured out.

I've been stuck without my domain that I have paid for, for 4 days now. Initially it would be 1-2 days, then 3-4 days, now 8 days. I've been without my domain now for almost 3 weeks because of Bluehost and zero resolution. If you're on the fence about getting their service just don't do it, go with someone else. This is insane.
