I often have issues uploading images into Wordpress. Also there are not enough image galleries available outside of Wordpress. The galleries that are there seem outdated.

It's a great dashboard layout - easy to use. Sometimes slow to load and navigate but that might be my internet connection. Help has been good when needed

It has been really challenging getting connected with Blue Host, changing our information has been rough. Once I got connected, the team was very helpful.

Really, I am happy with your service. I am determined to learn how to do this on my own so it is taking me awhile to get my site where I want it. Any frustration is on my part.

Updating PHP on my WordPress site is challenging.
Apparently my email doesn't have DKIM or SPF. It's causing my few emails to sometimes be classified as spam. You haven't offered any proactive help in getting DKIM and SPF set up. I'm about to try to do it now.
Also, for the last few days JetPack has been reporting frequent downtime for my website. I don't know why it's gotten unreliable, but I expect you to do better.

Bluehost, I like their customer service, but their website is slow and takes forever to load, even the WordPress dash board and sites are slow motion. And I have the fastest Spectrum internet service they got
