Enough with the advertising when I'm trying to log in. It's annoying and I will never use the service if it's there blocking my login. Period. Never. Even if I disparately need it. Hard no!

Asked too quickly before I even had a chance to do anything...
Maybe that is the best time;-)

Definitely a learning curve, but with the right mindset and the right theme, anything is possible.

When you set up a Wordpress console, many plugins come preloaded that are of no use to me. When I log in, I get your advertising on the first page. And it continually kicks me out of the session and asks me to log in again and put the text message. It's too much.

This experience with Blue Host has been nothing short of a NIGHTMARE! My website was deleted due to non-payment (which I was unaware of). NO COMMUNICATION whatsoever before it was canceled then deleted.

You keep changing the login location on the homescreen, and the login process. That makes it difficult to access our account.

I feel as if there is an overly complicated logging in process - i have to click on so many different buttons to just get to edit my website - why not just one? Also have to scan through to find the click here kind of text which is buried under a whole page of info and is just (small) bold text rather than an actual 'button' would also appreciate being able to easily access my email directly from my wp dashboard

Confused user interface

Login screen needs to be streamlined and quit the advertising -
The maestro interface does not work
The bluehost panel to create a staging site does not indicate that the staging site cannot be removed without wiping out the whole site - that is pure garbage and a disaster for anyone who makes the mistake of using it

I have been trying for the last 2 days to get a store started. I have spoken to your support and have yet to receive any help. I would like a full refund for the store that I bought.

The actions towards my account has shown me Bluehost is not reliable and i cannot trust the service. Money was taken off my account after cancelling my subscription. Before it is due. Spoke to customer service. I was told all money will be refunded and they did not keep to their words. Not all was refunded. For this reason I cannot truth the site with my detail. If they could just take money of my account for not good reason and their words is mere say.
