I have tried 4 times to get the website to launch, and it keeps getting started on the "We are preparing your site for you" screen, but never finishes. When I log out and back in, all the steps are lost and I need to redo it each time.

Domain issues have not been solved for almost a week, temporary solution after a call with a technician is not enough.

I made this account and selected to choose my domain later. Then once I went to create my domain it said I had to purchase, I did the chat assistance and they helped walk me through getting my free 1 year domain. Then they switched it to my primary domain as it was labeled as "parked". Now my site doesn't work, it says invalid SSL certificate. I went back to chat assistance, and the person said they fixed it and to wait 15-20 minutes. I have waited over 30 minutes now and my site still says invalid SSL Certificate. I cannot edit anything.

Rubbish!
June 17, 2022

Rubbish! Filled with hackers who will take over and destroy your website. Bluehost will say they fix the problem but its never fixed... They keep hacking and taking over. You will not have any control of your website
