Running excellent, at the beginning I have couple of doubts, however, ones I realized every goes smooth
I'm trying to find out how to change a parked domain to the primary domain. I'm reading information about what a parked domain is, and how happy Bluehost is to help me, but nothing about how to change the parked domain to the primary domain.
No matter what option I choose, in the Assign menu, I can't assign the Parked domain to the primary. I'm sure there is an explanation, but I have spent hours trying to find it.
Easy to use... set up by another so don't use but one aspect but very easy
Good work. The website is dependable and always is working.
My experience was good. This is all that I have to say.
My website is still on coming soon. Please let me know the reason.
Thank you.
The new layout is hard to find things like weebly.
The hidden costs are expensive. It's a la carte rather than the all-in pricing of SiteGround. It fools you at first. The help desk is better at SiteGround.

I keep trying to work on my new site and several times it's been just spinning and wont load. I googled and others said their bluehost site was doing the same. Not sure if bluehost was down or what, but its been several diff days and this hasnt been a great first experience.
My account has been unfairly canceled twice and I was charged $75 fees to recover what should never have been taken from me. I am still with Bluehost because I managed to get those charges refunded, but the suffering was not healed and this has never happened to me with any other company (I also work with Godaddy and DigitalOcean)
Awesome, easy to use and being able to pick up a phone and talk to someone matters.
My hosted website is either slow response or completely down/blank. The servers are slow and I am currently unable to log in to WordPress.
Really hard to navigate for beginners! I suspect the information is there but it is hard to find.
It's been really good, outside of one of the apps telling me the site goes down from time to time.
A lot of changes from when I first started using your product/services
Hard to keep up!
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.
