My site is up almost all the time. The blue host customer service has been helpful. One thing I would change is being able to find out why so many people seem to fill out the wp forms but few actually get to the subscription list. Also, making changes to the website is difficult, especially for those of us with no coding experience who use a template.

I've had a real struggle with tech support this week. Issues overlapped between bluehost and Woo Commerce and Jetpack on wordpress.org. Three techs took nearly three hours of my time in chat, all insisting everything was working fine, each one disconnected me, it was maddening. Sure enough the next day I got a very pleasant email from Woo Commerce that they were working with bluehost to resolve issues BLUEHOST was having with how Jetpack was hosting in the woo commerce checkout area. Turns out I was right and those three techs were wrong and genuinely wasted my precious time. Two of them? Two of them didn't even know that jetpack requires a WP.com sister site/id to run on a WP.org site; they should know this if they host it. I think the issue is, these tech people didn't ask ME enough questions to figure out was I actually needing to know and wasn't fully versed enough to articulate - they should be looking for clues in what I tell them - and I told them a lot - to figure out what it is I don't know how to ask for... because I'm not a trained tech. There was a lot of confusion and I could tell from the responses several times my messages were not fully read. I've enjoyed Bluehost just fine till yesterday. Now, I'm keeping it because it's what I paid ahead for. Yesterday was very disappointing.
