Customer Service is unable to provide a solution as to why I am not getting an email delivered to my webmaster company email. This email is needed so i can verify my identity before using the SSL feature

I haven't had much time to check it out, but I do wish there was more room for email storage.

I have always liked you but lately your recent upgrade has been a HUGE backstep as far and wordpress use is concerned. First time I have considered moving to another server in a VERY LONG time.

I use the Bluehost website builder Pro because I am a small business and I have a lot of issues with it. The issues cause me to spend a lot of time on with support, that seems to argue with me a lot about what I do and don't have included with my plan, which feels like it's changing constantly to suit Bluehost and not me.

I have been with support three times to handle what I assume is a simple redirect and each time I end up with a broken url. I feel very frustrated.

The system is complex and is sometimes difficult to navigate as a lay person. However, I did not utilize any tutorials.

I have reached out to Bluehost about my website going offline several times a day for months now and Bluehost has not been able to help me resolve this. To the point, they told me I had to upgrade my plan for the issues to stop. Looking into changing those soon for this reason.

I was forced to purchase malware security that I did not want or my account would be held hostage by locking my account and shutting down 3 websites. This is not right.
