I need to install a ruby application. The Bluehost instruction is cryptic and impossible to follow because the abbreviations like WHM do not match anything on the panel

I've found Bluehost easy to use
May 19, 2022

I've found Bluehost easy to use. I don't have any background in creating a website but using the Bluehost as a platform doesn't make things complicated for me.

All the major services constantly blacklist the email platform and we receive refused/denied email bounces on every announcement we send out.

I logged in and was asked to rate my experience, basically before I did a single thing I was interrupted with a pointless survey.

The site editor is okay, but for the most part my Bluehost account has too many options that are too confusing to figure out, and then when I do get them figured out, they don't end up being what I need. Then I'm often stuck with no option or paying for *another* program or extension that does what I need.

They find a way to get it done for their hosters. Have never told me I had to pay for assistance when there are common errors in back end server thanks to helpful tech support and all customer support

No option to include a shortcut to Weebly to edit my website without having to click over 6 links each time. Email system has no mobile support/formatting, making it only useful to use when on an actual computer. My website is for my business and most of the times I am away from a computer so my responses end up being very delayed. No effective way to receive mobile notifications in email for new emails either.
